Nicole Pal, the founder of Sugar Pop Bakery is an entrepreneur in Sydney, Australia. Nicole has successfully started her own bakery focusing on a special niche in the market. Let's find out more about the business, the person behind it and how Nicole is using an Obox theme.

We're looking to showcase our customer stories right here on the Obox blog.

At Obox we pride ourselves on creating the best experience at all times for you whether you're new to WordPress themes or have been a user for years.

We've been working on building a set of new 'services' which will become part of our core offering. Our plans are to create a few initial services which will be hugely beneficial to you as a WordPress website owner, both in terms of website setup and security.

All of our eCommerce WordPress themes are fantastic straight out of the box. By using the WordPress customizer options you can make quick and easy changes to make our themes your own.

Having spent time talking to some of our customers who run their own online shops and are using our themes I've put together a little tips post to help you take your shop even further and hopefully get you more sales.

9 out of 10 new eCommerce stores fail. They can fail for a various amount of reasons from neglect, not enough perseverance or bad judgement. Starting any new business is not a walk in the park but to make it easier, we've put some quick tips together which you could action today to make your eCommerce store better tomorrow.

If you're running your online store with an eCommerce WordPress theme or other software, it's important to know the key shopping dates for 2013. Shoppers start searching for the perfect gift for special occasions throughout the year like Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and Christmas months ahead of time.

Earlier today Obox was removed from the WordPress.com theme directory. We have been aware of the situation for over a week but we have chosen to keep quiet about it while we spoke to both Envato and WordPress about the matter.

Recently we've been talking a lot about user experience at Obox. David wrote a lengthy article about the user-testing which was completed on Obox Design and the things which came from it. A lot of the to-do's we've since completed to make your experience when browsing the Obox website much better. The outstanding to-do's are quite large and each which will take a little more time and are things which we'll announce in due course.

As mentioned last week, February brings a slight price increase across all our themes options.

Obviously we can't just increase the prices without offering you something more so I'd like to explain the extra sauce that you will get with an Obox Theme purchase.
