The Theme Overview
The Market Theme works with just about any version of Wordpress from 2.0+ (including 2.5). Clean permalinks will continue to work with the theme, so do not worry about SEO issues. Plus, Market is extremely easy to customize, and you are getting a theme built by someone who has released six other public themes. (It is also widget ready!)
Clean Product Display
Storefronts look the best when organized into clean grids. The Market Theme does just that, without any special add ons like some Wordpress E-Commerce solutions. The design layout matches up nicely with the SEOMOZ article on "17 New Rules for E-Commerce Websites".
Related Items
Keeping your customers on your site is very important to the Market theme. That is why on each individual product page, the five recently added items will be displayed. Customize this to take only recent products from the item's category that the current item is listed under or leave it as is. Either way, the Market Theme keeps promoting your products for you.
Search
What kind of theme would not include a search feature? The Market Theme includes search boxes on every page in optimal locations to make finding your products much easier for all of your customers. Powered by the Wordpress search (that was much improved in 2.5) gives your customers the ability to quickly and easily locate products. No more spending forever trying to find a product.
Compare to WP E-Commerce
The most used Wordpress E-commerce solution right now would definitely be the WP E-Commerce plugin by Instinct. While the plugin may look like a much better solution, take a moment to compare it with the Market theme and see for yourself the advantages and disadvantages of both.
Get More Than You Paid For
As soon as you purchase your license, you get access to download center, referred to around here as the "DC". The DC contains much more than just the original Market theme. You can pick up Market V2 - a different styled version of the Market theme. Or how about the Market Lite plugin which lets you add buy now buttons to any post or page with any theme. If that is not enough, take the theme further with Market Plus or Market Cart. New additions are always being added, and all for free!
