Tomorrow marks quite a huge and significant milestone for us. Tomorrow is our 3rd birthday, and seeing tomorrow is a Saturday, and most of you will be away from your desks, we though it would be appropriate for us to give you our present today. Yes we giving you a present.
3 years ago Magnus was working a 9-5 desk job, and only fishing & playing golf on the weekends… 3 years ago Adii was not a rockstar, and concentrating on starting a boutique design agency called « Radiiate »… and 3 years ago I was living in London, freelancing from my small bedroom…
WooThemes has changed all our lives dramatically.
Some statistics
Everyone loves statistics right?
- We’ve grown to a full-time team of 11, in 5 countries on 3 continents.
- Cater for a community of commercial theme users of almost 40,000.
- We’ve had over 750,000 downloads of our free WordPress themes (since we started tracking them!), excluding our WordPress.com themes that has around  212,887 installations.
- Released 97 themes.
- Our demos, theme listings, sub-sites, and this blog are viewed by over 500,000Â monthly unique website visitors.
- Sent over 23,159 sales and admin emails.
- Supported 46,421 forum support topics.
Phew we’ve been busy, but we’ve had a helluva lot of fun along the way.
Please understand we are not stating these statistics to inflate our egos, rather to remember the responsibility we have going forward of continuing to innovate in our product releases, impress our community of users, and grow these numbers even more.
Our birthday special offer
As we’ve done on previous birthdays we’ve got a birthday present for you… before we crack open some champagne on our side.
Over the next 3 days we have a special running offering a 5-for-1 on standard and developer theme packages. Use the « HAPPYBIRTHDAY » coupon code when checking out and you’ll also get 30% off the package price.
We’ve also discounted the start up fees on new club subscriptions by 30%. Meaning the start up fee on standard club subscription is $80, with the usual $15 per month going forward to keep it active, and the start up fee on the developer club subscription is $130, with the usual $20 per month thereafter.
We haven’t forgotten about our loyal and existing community of users, but unfortunately you’ll need to wait another month to get your present. It will be worth it. This is in line with what our new team member Warren is working on.
P.S. One more random statistic
As I said above, we’ve had a helluva lot of fun in the 3 years of WooThemes existence. We’ve been on 2 team trips – sightseeing & conferencing in England, and skiing in Austria. If my mathematical formula (Av. number of team members X Av. number of drinks X 14 days of Wootripping) is correct we’ve consumed about 448 pints of beer, and around 112 Jagerbombs. Ouch!
And that folks is why we only meet up once a year…
About
Tomorrow will mark the first time I had visited this website 🙂

The Jagerbombs weren’t fun.

Happy Birthday! I’m so glad I discovered your themes a couple years ago … I guess around your first birthday, then. I got started with your free themes, and got hooked 🙂
Keep up the great work! Your new app themes are really awesome, and are taking WooThemes way above and beyond the standard themes. I’m excited for the future of WooThemes!
Happy birthday guys, you all rock! Will be purchasing the 5 in 1 option anyhow, cos it’s worth it 😉

Happy birthday, and congratulations on all that you have accomplished!!! (Three exclamation points for three years.) 🙂
Happy Birthday!
Does the discount apply to standard package without recurring fees?
Yes 30% on all prices 🙂 Just use the coupon HAPPYBIRTHDAY when checking out as stated in the post.
Then it’s not showing on 2checkout after I entered the code
Sorry about that Oliver, was an error. It should be fine now. 🙂
OK thanks. Another question. When am I supposed to select bonus themes (buying supportpress)? After checkout?
Happy birthday!
I may just have to celebrate your birthday with a theme purchase 🙂
Is « Listings » part of your offer?
All the best for the next year!
Yup, should receive the %30 off if you use the coupon HAPPYBIRTHDAY. Let us know if it isn’t working. 🙂
That;s great news! But I just tried the coupon code and it doesn’t change the pricing for Listings…
Tried to use the coupon too – didn’t see any changes in the checkout..
Sorry about that guys, still any issues?
Sorry it seems some themes were left out of the coupon 🙁 We’ve fixed the problem now, so go ahead and try again. If you completed the purchase, just contact us so we can discount the sale.
Happy birthday, guys. Can’t believe this level of success is achieved by a 3-year-old company.
PS: Trying to buy SupportPress, HAPPYBIRTHDAY doesn’t seem to work yet. 🙂
Fixed it now! Thanks 🙂
Oh, btw, thank you very much for your work! Russia appreciates you, happy birthday!
Tell Russia hello! 😀
Awesome, that’s awesome year
Trying to use de cupon but doesn’t seem to work yet.
Are you still having trouble? Shoot us an email if you aren’t getting the discount to work. – info[at]woocommerce.com 🙂
Happy Birthday! Bon Anniversaire!
Thanx for everything!
Here’s to many more — cheers!!!
Cheers to you Karen! 🙂
Happy Birthday to You! Thank you for this information, I will try this.
Happy birthday to WOO! 🙂 and thanks for the promotions!
Thanks! Hope you’re enjoying them! 😉
Hi guys! Please tell me, if I’ll buy SupportPress theme (http://woocommerce.com/2011/07/supportpress/) I can download 4 theme more?
SupportPress is an enterprise themes so it doesn’t come with bonus themes. It’s a hugely powerful theme though.
Congratulations. Having been a spectator since day one of WooThemes journey, I can say you guys have done really wonderful job.
Also you guys could have included a list of innovations done by the team that actually changed/ influenced a great deal into the way of WP theme development.
Kudos.
Awesome, guys, you’re always a good inspiration.
Happy Birthday!
Well done guys, big fan of your themes!
Happy Birthday dream team!
keep up as you are, don’t change anything!
WooThemes,Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!
Feliz cumpleaños, WooTeam! =D
Can you explain how this offer applies to the « Enterprise » themes?
I’m guessing that the 5-for-1 deal works for regular themes only, and the 30% off is what applies to enterprise themes.
Gosh, it would be swell if I was wrong, and it was actually buy-1-get-1-free (of equal value) or buy-1-get-2-free (of lesser value) on Enterprise themes. 😉
Hi
5-for-1 are normal themes only, but Enterprise themes have 30% discount 🙂
Happy birthday Woo’s! We love you 😉 Thanks for such a nice present. Stay well and productive in the future. Blessings.
Happy Birthday WooThemes!!
Great themes, great offers and now you´re being even nicer to us all. I like this kind of birthday 🙂
Blessings and keep it up!!
Happy Birthday WooThemes. I couldn’t ask for a more precise theme company.
Happy Birthday!! Love your themes! Keep up the good work. I think I’ll shop for a new one right now.
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birrrrrthdaaaaay dear WOOOTHEMES!
Happy Birrrrrthdaaaaay tooooooo yooou!
Can you hear my slightly off key birthday song?
So happy to watch you grow up and evolve into the company that you have become. Through all of your growing pains and successes, thanks for sharing and inspiring us all!
Happy Birthday Woo!
I love the woo-goodness I get from using the themes!!!
By the way guys, can I select say 3 themes now and then select 2 later?
Whichever ones you aren’t sure of at the moment you can leave blank, then just email us once you know. Just note, we don’t add themes released after your original purchase date. 🙂
Hi Ryan,
I chose Canvas and Optimize for now, how do I get the rest when I finally decide?
Great!
How to proceed to apply that and buy 5 themes now?
I´m not a member yet!
Do you have a step by step?
Thanks
Flavio Jose | Triatlete
Ops …. I gorgot to say « Feliz Aniversário » – Happy Birthday !!!
Trying to buy 5-for-1 but cant find the « press here ».Have you forgotten to put a button to push and submit an order or I am too blind to see that.
Think when you go to buy one theme they give you an option to select the other four « bonus » themes.
Are you looking on a specific theme page? There’s usually a big green « BUY THIS WORDPRESS THEME » button on the theme pages. It’ll walk you through the process from there. 🙂
Happy Birthday and I am impressed with your fast development, big full time team and great products so far 🙂
Happy Birthday guys! Today was the first time I was going to buy a theme. And guess what, I ended up getting 4 more for free! I completely forgot to enter the coupon code to get the 30% off. Yet, I am not complaining (though it would be really cool if you guys can kinda sort that out! only if you can).
Been playing around with Canvas for a few hours, and blown away by the possibilities. I would say that your themes are great value for money, or rather a bargain (when you look at how much people charge for developing a wordpress theme these days!)
Keep up the great work, and keep the themes rolling! And YAY to Jagerbombs!! haha!
Guys,
I understood how to do now.
Question : Can I choose only one theme now and have a credit to got my choose my other 4 bonus other day after July 11st?
Hi,
Yes we can, see on FAQ http://woocommerce.com/frequently-asked-questions/#2-for-1
Flavio,
As Dewa pointed out you can leave your bonus themes blank for now. Just note, we don’t normally add themes released after your original purchase date. 🙂
Damn it, i have already got my other 4 themes :-S
Happy birthday Woo Team,
and the present is for us, Woo Happiest member 🙂

I have succumbed to temptation and bought the Club Subscription, now I just need some more websites to build!
Happy Birthday

Hello WOO people! I purchased the present option but when everything was « successfully » done I received this message:Parameter Error
A parameter error was encountered when attempting to process this sale.
Please notify the supplier so that this can be resolved as soon as possible.
So sorry about that, have sent your details via email. Let us know if that doesn’t work.
It works fine thank you. Now I have downloaded the themes but how can I replace the existing self hosted wordpress theme with woo theme? Please!
Shoot us an email and I can send some directions your way.
Perfect! This is the best time to become a club member of WooThemes! 😀

Happy Birthday WooThemes! 🙂
Just a little confused. The offer expires Tuesday July 11, at midnight, which technically is past. But the page is still up. So is the offer still on and good until then end of Tuesday, or was it until the end of Monday?
Offer is officially over, but we left it on for late comers 🙂 It goes off at 12pm UTC (two hours).
I guess I’m late – even the banner on the top is still visible 🙁
Maybe next time 🙂
any hope you could make it till the 13th july 00:01 UTC? I found out late about this offer and weould like to buy one dev club account 🙁
Go ahead and purchase the dev accont and contact us via our contact page afterwards, and we’ll give you the discount 🙂
thanks 4reply, will do in about 2-3 hours [the time to get to my CreditCard@home 😀 ]
What happened? The coupon code is expired?? I saw the tweet yesterday saying the sale was extended until 12th July and also saw the banner updated at the top of the site. 🙁 🙁
I was waiting on some info from my partner re: site requirements so I could get the rights theme.. them I went onto Woo to make my purchase.. but alas, the offer is over… 🙁 I guess I thought it expired at 5pm UTC.. is there anything you can do?
Shoot us an email. – info[at]woocommerce.com
Okay, thank you Ryan. Done.
Im so sad.. I just found this deal in my spam box :o(
Sorry Nikki. 🙁 Email us and maybe we can work something out. – info[at]woocommerce.com
Very quick question woo gang. For your birthday you had a thin strip showing an offer across the top of the woo website. Is there any plugin that you were using for this or is it a custom addition? I am nosey yes 🙂 and trying to do something similar here myself. Thanks
Nope just some html and CSS 🙂
haha dammit 🙂 ok time to get my css going. cheers for the update Magnus
