Thank you to all our customers for a great 2014! We’ll be a little quieter over the next week as we take time off to spend with our family and loved ones. We’re still helping you in our tickets, and our knowledge-base and documentation are still available.
Happy Holidays!

Did you catch our first ever webinar on Tuesday? We hosted a joint hangout with Brennan Dunn, owner at PlanScope and author of the popular Double Your Freelancing Rate. Patrick Rauland chatted to him about selling time as a freelancer and they were joined online by 850 attendees. Not half bad!

Today’s guest post is from Jamie Marsland over at Pootlepress. He’s a long-time WooThemes customer, and has become a Canvas advocate over the years. He’s recently launched a bunch of extensions to help Canvas theme owners take their site to the next level over at Pootlepress.
We love Canvas. For us, it’s our go-to WordPress theme. We’ve been working with Canvas for 5 years now, we’ve trained over 2000 people and built 100’s of sites using it.
It gives you control to change design elements of your website without having to know any code. Control is the number one thing our customers want. They want to make a change to their website quickly and easily. They don’t want to have to wait, they want fingertip control. We estimate that Canvas cuts website build time down by 80%. We now build most new customer websites in 1 day. We build a lot of websites 🙂
And, the great thing is design beauty is not sacrificed by speed.
Because we’re busy building so many real world websites with Canvas we have fantastic insight into how our customers want to go beyond what is possible ‘out of the box’.

If you didn’t know, we’re a lean and data-focused company. This means we pay attention to what our customers’ needs through all the metrics we can possibly collect, evaluate what those metrics mean, have conversations with our customers and change course as needed. This enables us to be as efficient with our resources as possible. As our customer, you ultimately benefit as we attempt to make sure we’re spending as much time as we can developing the products, helpful content, and support you need.
We also want to ensure that we’re pricing our products effectively, and packaging those offerings in ways which make sense for you. Unlike in another blog post, we’re actually lowering the price of some of our products and simplifying our offering. 🙂

A few months ago, we asked our customers to submit any sites they were proud of using our themes. We wanted to see what sites you’ve been creating, what you had to say about the theme you’d chosen and in return we’d give away 3 iPad Minis to our favourite sites.
The response was overwhelming. We received over 500 entries from more than 200 applicants – it was really amazing for our team to see how well our themes were being used and the innovative things our customers had done with them.

The final instalment of our Security Rules series comes from Jesse Friedman. He’s the Director of Innovation at BruteProtect. They provide a WordPress plugin which will protect you against brute force and botnet attacks.
If you missed the first post in this series, you can catch up here.
WordPress core out of the box is very secure and an extremely reliable CMS. Everything you do after you install WordPress is an opportunity to harden that security, or soften it. And I’ll tell you right now, it doesn’t matter if you’re hosting your Mom’s quilting website (I actually do this) or a government website, you’re going to get attacked.

I’ve been at WooThemes for a little over 2 years. In that time, we’ve changed and improved a lot of what we do, and how we do it.
We no longer use Subversion, we create plugins and other offerings in addition to themes, and we’ve moved into a bigger office. Those are just a few of the day-to-day areas which have changed. The important changes have been in our philosophy and our approach to how we run Woo.

The updates to our pricing and business model have received a significant amount of attention over the last few days from our customers, competitors and the general WordPress community.
Within the blog post’s comments, on social channels and internally at WooThemes we’ve discussed the repercussions of the decisions we’ve made. There are some things we have gotten wrong, and we’d like to address that.

2013 has, so far, been a great year for WooThemes. We turned 5 years old, surpassed 1 million WooCommerce downloads and have more than 100,000 paying customers. We’ve launched more than 80 products and added to our super talented team.
All in all, WooThemes is looking extremely healthy.
That said, we want to continue creating great products, providing even better support and work to surpass more milestones. We have a great hunger to deliver happiness in the most authentic & innovative way.
