Since there are two of us working at Obox themes we always have to prioritize creating what we think is best in terms of what you want. This can be themes, functionality, platforms and many other things.
We have decided that it is time to open up a forum where you can contribute with suggestions and ideas of what you want from Obox.
The system is simple, you can either vote on good ideas, add your own ideas or comment on existing ideas. We will then look at the most popular requests and decide which is the best route to take based on your feedback. We have already started some topics to get the ball rolling.
So, do you want a mobile theme? An e-commerce solution? Or maybe just more Posterous themes? We suggest that you head over to our Ideas Forum, have a look around, contribute, interact and reap the rewards.
At the end of the day it is your opinion that we most value, so here is the perfect place to make yourself heard!

so, you want our ideas so you can make money from them? nice...
I'd like to see Tumblr themes with a specific focus on music and/or photography. No one really does the music themes and this might be a popular option. Also for functionality, I'd like to see the Facebook Like and Twitter's Tweet button integrated into future themes.
@Jack Harmon: There's nothing wrong with that. As long as Obox offers products that users want, those users will be happy to spend money on them. It's a win-win situation - no-one's being forced to give up intellectual property, or to hand over any money. At least the Obox guys are prepared to do the hard work of implementing the best ideas.
@Jack - This is for customers (and potential customers) who don't have the know how to create a template they want but have suggestions of what they want to see in our templates.
There is no intention to take 'your ideas' and make money off them. The plan is to turn your ideas into reality so that your site can function better or look more unique.
Hope that makes sense.
@Niko - Thanks for bringing up the facebook and twitter buttons, we do plan on implementing that in future themes.
@Jonno - Thanks man!
@Jack Harmon - Why cast such a sadly cynical outlook upon an innovative method for a small company to maximize customer service while innovating and improving their respected craft?
Obox ought to be commended as always for this great idea of connecting and communicating with customers -- and *potential* customers. Obox cares, and this is one more example that proves it to me. I know I can trust them.
Keep up the great work boys!
Hi,
We have your Press theme. Love it. Would love to see a non-profit donation solution (like an e-commerce solution or a modified version of one). I think non-profits are probably big business on wordpress, and yet few theme/plugin developers are catering to our interests. Just our 2 cents. And thanks for the question.
