Professional WordPress Themes

Mimbo Pro on WordPress.com

One of the most common questions we’ve had since launching Pro Theme Design is if our themes work on WordPress.com. Previously the answer was ‘unfortunately not’, but now we can say – ‘yes, check out Mimbo Pro

This is something I have wanted to do for ages – so it’s with a lot of thanks to the team at WordPress.com (Lance, and Ian in particular) that we now have Mimbo Pro available as a premium theme on WordPress.com.

The process took a while. First Darren and I rebuilt the theme – releasing Mimbo Pro 3.0 in the process. We then went through a review process with WordPress.com themselves. They gave us loads of awesome feedback to improve the theme further, and this in turn has been added into Mimbo Pro for our Pro Theme Design customers to make use of.

What does this mean then?

Really it doesn’t change anything. Users here on Pro Theme Design still get awesome themes – and now they are reaching a wider audience we will get more feedback and so be able to update the themes to be even better still.

If you’re on WordPress.com and want a new theme then I’d love to offer Mimbo Pro as an option.

  1. Hello,
    I’m just beginning to set up a website using WordPress. I really like Mimbo Pro, but a friend suggested I use one of the Elegant themes because of it having a responsive design. I looked on the Mimbo Pro description and couldn’t find anything that suggests it too, offers a responsive design so it will look good on all the hand held devices, etc.

    I’m just a beginner.. I k now nothing about anything. but am giving it a shot.

    Sooner or later I want my blogsite to be able to offer surveys and drawings, and sell my books. Can I do all of that on Mimbo Pro?

    Thank you.

    • Hi – the latest version of Mimbo Pro is indeed responsive. Provided you have the know how you can do whatever you like with any WordPress theme. Personally I have found the Elegant themes products to be very pretty – but harder to customise and so they tend to always look like the original theme.

  2. where I can see the theme demo and screen preview?
