In this episode, I talk to Nate Wright from Theme of the Crop; a WordPress theme business that he owns that solely caters for restaurants.


I first met Nate at the WordPress Edinburgh Meetup, which he co-organises and started to work with him on his theme-based business.


I have asked to appear on the show and to give us his insights on the WordPress themes and plugins business.


Some of the things we talk about are:

how he first started using WordPress
how first came up with the idea of WordPress restaurant themes and why he specifically chose this particular industry
the challenges that he faced and advice for those who are looking to start or currently their own WordPress theme-based business
what you should look out for if you want run your own theme business, but applies to everyone who is running some kind of business



"I can say 'look, buy with me because I'm the person who is really going to help you with the restaurant'. If that person over there has got 20 different themes in different market, he's not investing in the restaurant space. I'm investing in the restaurant space. This body of work that I've produced is my proof that I am." - Nate Wright, Theme of the Crop


This is a really interesting, not just for those who are in the WordPress themes and plugins business, but also for those who are providing niche products and services.
