Premium WordPress Plugins from Ithemes PluginBuddy

As you know I’m a big fan of Ithemes, and their flexible wordpress themes, so I was very happy to hear they have released their newest venture, PlugginBuddy.com! Last week they announced the launch of Pluginbuddy and their first official premium wordpress plugin, Backup Buddy. More on that new premium wordpress plugin later.

Plugin Buddy is the third distinct venture that Ithemes has launched. Ithemes was the first to come up with ultra flexible premium wordpress themes, such as the wildly popular Flexx theme. Premium WordPress theme development is their bread and butter, and they have done an outstanding job at providing the perfect wordpress theme for any niche. Then they came up with Webdesign.com which focuses on WordPress specific web design training. Given the popularity of WordPress as a web publishing platform you have to figure they are doing quite well with their Webdesign.com venture as well. And finally, Ithemes has launched their much anticipated Pluggin Buddy venture, which will provide premium wordpress plugins to WordPress users.

You’re probably asking yourself: Is there a market for premium wordpress plugins? A valid question, given the hundreds of thousands of free wordrpess plugins available from wordpress.org. However, Ithemes’ theory, and one which this webchicklet agrees with, is that there is a demand for premium wordpress plugins. Take a look at WordPress themes. There are hundreds of thousands of free themes out there, so how can premium theme developers like Itheme sell so many themes? Because there is a demand for quality themes, that are flexible, supported and upgraded on a regular basis. So many themes are of poor quality, built quickly with links added to the bottom, in the hopes that it will spread like wildfire and create thousands of backlinks to the developers main site. They are rarely upgraded or supported when you have an issue. The premium plugin market has the same situation. WordPress power users are looking for robust, quality plugins that are supported and upgraded just like the wordpress themes they use.

So have a look at PluginBuddy.com – WordPress Plugins and become a more efficient wordpress user. Next time, I’ll write about Ithemes first PluginBuddy.com Premium Plugin for WordPress, Backup Buddy. You know how I feel about backups.
