2010 New pricing

Hello Guys.
Here are new pricing for 2010.
The main reason is I am quite reasonable with my 4usd price that runs a year, so I think I have contributed a lot to all of you that can get cheap skin from me.
So now its time for me to become more serious. I was getting 800-1000usd per month and it is low for a family man like me.

My Shop has been up running almost 2 years now, thank you so much for all the support and I hope I can contribute more in next few years.
Pre-mades for vb3.7.x, vb3.8.x and phpbb3 prices remain the same.

Here are the list of new prices. no changes in term of usage.

vb4 pre-made USD9.99
editing header logo text for pre-made – USD29usd
color customisation. – USD99
header design – USD139

updating sultantheme skin to vb4 – USD89
updating outside skin – USD139

forum only – phpbb and vb4 – USD349
vb4 suites – USD379

code PSD – USD199
convert to forum – USD199

This offer applies from this July 18 2009, and previous custom customer can convert their skin later for vb4 as cheap as usd30 only.

New Price – New Term – New System

Hi Guys.
1. Price cheap everyday!
So its now official all my skins are for sale at the new permanent price of 3.99 USD.
I have operated for a full 1 year since April 2008 and tested range of prices and 2USD is the longest.I get about 11k+ USD from this business and low skin prices contributed only about 20% of all that. I work by myself and only doing this business. I think I will be the cheapest in the market forever.

2.  Term Changes – Along with this I have change 2 terms of usage.

1.1 By using our PAID vBulletin skin you can happily remove our footer links.

3.0 We OFFER free updates (within its version number) every time vBulletin update its version. So if you bought a 3.8.x version, you will get updates all the time until 3.8.x end of life.

See the different, before this you have to hold my links for 1 month. But I never mind about that.And I only gives free updates for those who buy many. I didnt give free updates since it was cheap and you have to buy an update cost the same(2usd). But Now No more of that fussy term.

No more links, No more paid updates 🙂

3. The New Shopping Cart
Last shopping cart was a plugin from wp-ecommerce, I hold about 230+ products from 2 categories. I never realized that it has generated 2500-3500 database queries each time. That is way to much that we should only operate like 20 -100 queries. I have complaint a lot to my host saying it was too slow but actually it is my shop that was slow.

Now, we can have few guests at the same time compare to the last time. Now its getting better, Its easy to update all my skin at one shot not last time I have to upload the zip one by one. And you will have a download place so that you can easily download back when the version updates are ready.

Its been a smashing pain in the ass for the whole week to setup a new shop, skin it, input back all the datas.
I am glad that I am back in the business.

Anything you can contact me using the contact form.

I will release some new skins within this 2 weeks.
🙂

Have Fun! Thank you for reading..

Welcome to the new SultanTheme.com

Hello Friends and visitors,

I have completed one year full operation. And the last days to full the one year has been really frustrating since my shopping cart has been ruined by me :-), I disappointed by the system because it generates to many database queries 3000+ at one time when it should only at 20-30 queries.So for many months now I have lost many potential customers since they found my site so slow. I am now have to work from the start with a new shopping cart and have to input back all the products from the start.

Since operating the business, I have sold about 750 products including services that totalling over 11,000USD.Custom skin sales is the main sales contributing to the main income. This is my sole business. I am fully working on my own.

2009 mid year plan.
I am going to expand my collection to 2 more bulletin board engines. I am currently train my old school mates to convert all my skins to phpbb3.Still long to go for first release. After that I will train another friend to convert my skins to IPB. Both of them are not treated as employees rather as share partners.

I will also now used div layouts instead of tables for current and future releases. I have done the first div layouts for black series, released earlier.

I will look forward for another bright years to come. 11K for the first year is good enough for me eventhough its small amount.

Any of you that interested in custom skins and another relates services are welcome to contact me for discussion.

Thank you so much to all my customers, I appreciate your support.

Best Regards,

Hanafi Jamil
