Thrive Themes Membership Plan Is $228 – Would You Pay For Better Conversions?

Thrive Themes founded by Shane McLaugh with a mission statement to create conversion focused WordPress themes. Now everything that Shane and his team does focuses around Improving your website conversions.

Even though the brand is known as Thrive Themes, there is a lot more than the 10 Conversion focused WordPress Themes that are included in their Thrive membership.

But firstly let's go over the 10 themes they have at present, And that does not include the A few extra premade website templates they have on their new cloud storage.

The WordPress themes that Thrive I'm not like your typical WordPress themes. These themes really do have one goal and that’s to increase your websites conversions.

What you’ll notice about Thrive themes templates

They are all fully mobile responsive. Which means you are guaranteed that your website will look great on any device, at any screen size. The themes have column layouts that resize intelligently, all images and media scale down to size.

The themes won't eat up your wordpress resources. One thing I’m often a culprit of is a love of functional plugins. Yet too many plugins slow a site down. The bonus of using Thrive themes is you’ll find features that replace some of your more regular plugins. Image optimizer, social sharing, font managers, showing related posts and more.

Websites speed is improved not just because of less plugins needed, but also an emphasis on lean, lightweight code they strive to develop.

With UX being such a buzz word and focus it’s no surprise Thrive Themes are designed to put your content in the best light possible, with great readability, a careful choice of fonts and colors and smart, conversion-focused elements like countdown timers and click-to-call phone numbers.

There are targeted capture and focus areas created to showcase your offers most relevant to your visitors at the right time. There’s even a built-in opt-in feature to help grow your mailing list.

Keeping it all looking tight and congruent on your website won’t be an issue. You can use their page generators to create sample sales pages, various opt-in pages, legal pages and more within the same theme template in just a couple of clicks.

That’s all GR8, and Themes are only 50% the story, to me their real ace in the hole, the one thing that makes it a no brainer for me to renew my membership, is their plugins.

I’d have to say for me personally… 85% of Thrive’s real power lies in their ever growing suite of uniquely awesome wordpress plugins. #wordpress #websites

Thrive theme plugins

I have been working online for a while and I see a thrive lead capture form on most of the websites I visit. It really is an all-in one email list building tool with a bucket full of templates to design every type of opt-in form needed. Thrive Leads allows you to run A/B tests even A/B/C/D test if you wanted!

My #1 has to be Thrive Architect, the upgrade from the previous Thrive content builder plugin. This is Thrives’ visual editor.

But...

To describe Thrive Architect as a simple drag-and-drop visual editor would really be doing it an injustice, there is so much more to it than that. One of the biggest benefits of having Thrive Architect is that it can be installed on any wordpress website. Allowing you to use their tech on any website theme.

A quick peek inside Thrive members area

There’s a Thrive Clever Widgets plugin that lets you show different content in your widget areas, based on pages, posts, tags, categories and all types of various targeting rules. Ie: only show the widgets ads or offers directly related to the page content.

Testing headlines is a strategy that makes a hell of a lot of sense and there are a lot of peeps talking about it.. Thrive make it easy to test different headlines against each other. For each blog post, Thrive Headline Optimizer will A/B test your titles and show only the highest performing ones.

Countdown timers work, and Thrive Ultimatum is a great scarcity marketing tool. I’m sure you’ve noticed webpages increasing their conversions by adding countdown timers. Ultimatum lets you run evergreen scarcity campaigns too

Testimonials are something we all want, and Thrive Ovation is built to help you get them. Thrive Ovation is a lot more than a plugin fo collection testimonials, it integrates into Architect to all for a myriad of uses for collection, displaying and leveraging your ovation testimonials. .

There's a lot of fun to be had with the Thrive Quiz Builder. The same quiz you took on FB can be created with Thrive. Their Quiz builder is 100% customizable. It’s a walk in the park to create fully functional and beautiful quizzes that allow you to gain visitor insights, build a segmented email list, drive website visits and get a load of social shares with a Thrive quiz.

WordPress has a comment section and Thrive have developed a plugin that can put that lil comment section on steroids!

With Thrive comments several innovative features like commenters badges, up-voting and down-voting, gamified comment incentives and an eye popping number of after-comment-actions available. I really haven’t dug deep into this plugin but I do have it installed on all my blogs now.

The latest plugin release which Thrive members get access to automatically is Thrive Optimize. If you are not a member It’s sold as an add-on to Thrive Architect. Basically it’s a plugin that takes all the pain, complication out of A/B testing. As it’s a key piece of successful testing here’s Shane with another video of how Thrive Optimize works.

If you need help it’s available in every type of format. There’s an extremely active support team, as well as members support. A full knowledge base with a wide range of video tutorials, to answer any question you may have about using their products.

But there's more to be seen on the site. Recently they have opened up a “Thrive University” that has an ever growing library of free and paid training material updated almost weekly.
