Templatic rules in this segment, and what’s more is that they are coming with big plans in this e-commerce theme niche.

I would recommend against anything by Templatic. I bought the Kidz Store theme and have been dissatisfied. The e-commerce backend is sloppy and missing basic features, and if you have a support question, it’s a ticket system and you only get a 1 sentence response after waiting a day or two. For support, Justin Tadlock and Hybrid Themes is a great choice. And I love the design of Elegant Themes, which are not only more beautiful than Templatic, but have solid support forums. Again, I would not recommend Templatic.

I’ve not found a better platform for building and managing a website. Doesn’t matter whether you’re blogging, have a store front, create a massive business site or need a basic, static website to promote your services and products – WordPress can manage it all.
And te themes are not only good for personal use, but also for your clients, makes it easier to customize to there style.
