Themeforest is part of the Envato Market of websites. The Envato Market are a set of inter-connected sites that allow anyone to buy or sell all sorts of digital products, ranging from WordPress themes to royalty-free images and graphics for your website. When you create an account on one, it will work on any of their websites. Each marketplace has its own sellers (authors), staff, items for sale, support forums and community. This means the focus on each site is a bit different with the products offered, but all have a familiar branding, site layout and interface all accessible with your single account.
We have used Themeforest for years to assist our clients in their design options for their website. The site offers live demos of the many designs available that helps clients tell us what they do and do not like in a design in order for us to build them a custom solution that meets their needs.
One of the greatest things about Themeforst is that each author who sells a design or WordPress theme is expected to offer support on their product for the life of the purchase. To assist in this, most authors (sellers) have their own personal sites with included support forums which you can submit a ticket through to get a solution on any issues you are having with their product.
Before we found Themeforest, we used to direct clients who had no idea what they wanted for a design to a site called TemplateMonster to get ideas for their site design. If a client chose a theme from this site and there was an error in coding or any need for support, Template Monster staff would offer support, not the actual creator of the theme itself. The problem with this was that it would often take a minimum of 72 hours to get any type of response through their ticket system and in most cases took a week or more to get full resolution on the problem. This obviously caused delays in the completion of a website for our clients as the average time we strive to complete a website is 10 business days.
