discussion What drawn you to IPSFocus?

[Freddie M]

According to my profile, I have been a client of IPSFocus for 5 years - it's made me wonder how others have found their way to this community and what made them choose their theme.

I started off with my main site, I was show a theme by and friend I felt it looked a lot more professional.

I customised it a fair bit, mostly with help from various people. I found myself wanting to expand to my other sites. What attracted me, first and foremost was Ehren - his support is incredible and I feel he goes above and beyond for us clients. The support is unlike elsewhere, but the pricing, features, look and ease of use makes it a great choice to bring out a great community.

Obviously, appearances is only part of a site but I do believe in starting from a solid base - which IPSFocus offers.

I own 4 themes, Uniform is my absolute favourite but I do like Carbon too.

Uniform dark is a great addition, as it's why I swung towards Carbon as a dark theme. Now, it falls neatly inline.

What about you?

I was a Skinbox customer originally, and I think Ehren took it over and it ended up going belly up and everything came over here... Way, way back.

That's a blast from the past @Ero-Neko, I seem to recall Skinbox re-creating old styles of IPS classic themes.

I used to have themes by Tom Christian if I recall right, he had some nice features but I found them to be very choppy and having a lot of white space (which tends to annoy me). There's some great designers though who work on third-party themes, but other the years I have fallen mad about the ones on offer here.

Long time ago (early 2000's) it used to be about eXtremepixels I remember being on an old GFX forum, and saying "I'd love to do this". I believe this was Invision Power Board v2.0.x series. Time moved on and I found Ehren's themes and loved them for how stylish they're. I always wanted a custom theme but I just can't afford the prices.

Such long term customers, wow! I'm very impressed

Joined May 16, 2011... How time flies.

What brought me here? Searching for themes, seeing how much "IPBForumSkins" stood out from the competition.

I've never purchased a theme from elsewhere.

For me it's been about 5 years.

Great themes, never a hiccup, super friendly and helpful support.
