			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Magento Themes at Joomlart.com" href="http://www.joomlart.com">Joomlart.com</a> has recently opened their Magento Templates Club, providing at least one new Magento Theme each month to subscribed members. But what do you need to know before you join a Theme Club?<span id="more-700"></span></p>
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<p>You pay for access to the club. The membership fee at <a title="Magento Themes at Joomlart.com" href="http://www.joomlart.com">Joomlart.com</a> is one-time fee. When your membership expires, you can still use all Magento templates and extensions downloaded during your membership period without paying any extra fee. During the runtime of the subscription you have access to all the themes of the club, meaning you can download and use them as you please. Additionally, you get access to exclusive extensions and the support boards. The support boards are of great value when customizing your theme; Post your questions and other members and staff will help you out in no time!</p>
<h2>Why would I join?</h2>
<p>Joining a Theme club you can often get the themes you want at a lower price per theme. Although purchasing a single theme may be cheaper then getting a membership, when buying more then 1 theme from the same theme designer a membership can already save you money! For example, at <a title="Magento Themes at Joomlart.com" href="http://www.joomlart.com">Joomlart.com</a>, the cheapest membership to the Magento Theme club is $200, a single Magento theme purchase is $120. You do the math; You can save $40 already when you choose to get a membership instead of buying two single themes!</p>
<h2>Why are Theme Clubs so popular?</h2>
<p>Theme Clubs arevery popular among users wanting to change the design of their webshop from time to time, for example to adjust a shop to seasons. Their subscription allows them to get easy acces to new designs and support to install them easily. Another large group of members are designers and developers delivering Magento shops to clients.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re looking fo an exclusive, growing source of quality Magento themes and template, check out your options at <a title="Magento Themes at Joomlart.com" href="http://www.joomlart.com">Joomlart.com</a>!</p>
