Q: Why are all your Themes so wide?
A: We design for todays Web standards and that means around 1000 pixels wide. When I started in 1998 it was around 600 pixels wide.
Q: Some of your sidebars are on the left and some on the right. Why?
A: This is a matter of taste so we try and present both options. All our sidebars are wide enough to accept advertising, widgets, and other elements.
Q: Some of your colors are great and other colors are ugly. How do you decide which colors to use?
A: We start with imagination and the desire to present you with various looks. This design outlook is driven by the fact that a given theme needs to be functional. Form is always a secondary consideration. Some colors are the latest fads and others may not be.

Q: What version of WordPress are you running?
A: Version 2.8.2

Q: How do your Themes look and behave in other Browsers?
A: That’s a complex question with no simple answer. Each Browser may handle display slightly differently. Our Themes ship with two styles for Internet Explorer 6 and 7. I have tested and used IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. In all cases we deliver darn tight code with an outstanding experience. That about covers the majority of users however you should test this Blog with your browser just like I do. That’s the reason we spent so much time deploying real content and real world Plugins.
Q: Do your Themes work with the “chsdhdkfkfk_funky_duck” Plugin?
A: Our Themes have been extensively tested with over 100 of the most popular plugins for WordPress. Given the fact that their are zillions of plugins, we have no intention of testing all of them. Some are outstanding and others simply don’t work and or conflict with other plugins. Sometimes it’s the order which you activate plugins and how they interact with each other. Please insure that you have carefully read our Post titled What Plugins are installed? which documents exactly which plugins are active on this Blog. Finally, please don’t bother asking me to test a plugin I have never used as a condition of your purchase.
Q: Are your Themes branded with your name and or link?
A: No. That would be unfair. Our ReadMe.txt tells you all about inserting your own branding inside the WordPress Dashboard. Takes about 10 seconds. We even include a custom footer.php for you to edit if you wish. That might take you about 30 seconds. 
Q: Do you offer Support?
A: Yes. We include a ReadMe.txt file and License.txt with every Theme we sell. Please read the instructions and you should be fine. We support the installation of our Themes with the current stable NON BETA release of WordPress (Version 2.7.1). Please use our Contact Us Form and we will be happy to help you free of charge.
We do not support a modified WordPress instalation. We do not support any changes/edits to the files which we deliver in our .zip archive. We do not support any third party Plugins and or Widgets. We do not support WordPress. We do not support creating localized WordPress Themes with the Published Perfection Themes. We do not support editing translations. We do offer on-site training and our rates are very reasonable.

A: Fair question DUDE! You get what you pay for. Our Themes are designed as a problem free and turn key quick install. We already did the hard part and that’s providing you with an attractive and unique “look”. More importantly, our Themes are driven by usability and function. Extensively tested with numerous plugins. Providing you with a hands on real world look and use experience. One size rarely fits all, so no offence taken.
