[ChurchMag has reached the 10,000 blog post mark, and we're celebrating with all kinds of giveaways -- game on!]
This wouldn’t be any kind of celebration without giving away 10 Standard premium WordPress themes to celebrate 10,000 posts, would it?
I didn’t think so, either.
Standard 3
So much passion and love went into the building of Standard 3, it’s not even really fair to all those other WordPress themes.
Standard 3 was re-built from the ground-up, and is running on the same foundational code that Standard for WordPress.com was built on.
Standard is:
- Mobile ready using Twitter Bootstrap – responsive FTW!
- Child Theme ready, so customizing and using Standard to accelerate web projects is as easy as ever.
- Packaged with multiple widgets that will make you smile. Social Influence Widget, Activity Tabs and more!
- Ready for SEO awesome. 8BIT hired SEO consultant Joost de Valk to review Standard 3, so you can have the greatest amount of SEO possible in markup without using any additional plugins.
- Set with a Social Icon Manager, so you can easily change your social media icons and links.
And there’s more.
A lot more.
You can read more about Standard 3 on ChurchMag, check out a demo and purchase Standard 3 on the Standard theme website, and enter to win 1 of the 10 Standard Licenses we’re giving away.

Because I have the very first Standard and an upgrade would be balla!
I already have S3, but if I win I’d be happy to give my winnings to a blogger in need
The current non-profit sites I’m managing like project5130.com and madeformore.org need to be completely reworked for better SEO and mobile support. I’d love to build them on a solid platform like Standard for WordPress.
Because I’m launching a new website and need a totally awesome theme for it!
It would be awesome to have a robust theme (SEO!) for my church that won’t require a sysadmin to update! Thanks for putting this on, guys!
I would use Standard 3 to help launch my business of building WordPress sites for missionaries and other ministry based organizations. It would help me to learn how to develop some great child themes for Standard 3 as well as have a great launching pad for my own website to promote my business.
I’m thinking about doing a redesign and re-launch for our church website next year. Already using WP but would love to build the site on the Standard theme.
Having S3 would be wonderful. I’ve been eyeballing it for some time now, but it’s hard to buy for the blog when I don’t do ads or charge for things. I’d be super sweet to have a top-notch theme to support my blogging…
This would be very cool. My church site is using a different theme, but I think this would allow us to kick it up a notch.
Because we are in need of a new website!!!
WINNER!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys!
I haven’t self hosted in the last three years but have recently been thinking about going back that direction. This would be the little bump I needed to make that jump.
I am just beginning my final year of seminary and will be focusing on developing my personal blog as a creative release. I have wanted Standard theme for a long time now, but haven’t yet been able to purchase it. This would be a huge blessing!
Standard 3 is the best WP theme to build websites with. Churches, charities, and businesses will benefit if I’m the winner of your giveaway.
My church’s site needs an upgrade.
I want Standard Theme 3 simply because it’s the best WordPress theme ever!
I’d love a copy of Standard for my new speaking website that I’m currently building! Thanks for all you do!!
I was planning on purchasing Standard Theme 3 soon to use for my personal site and some other projects but winning it would be awesome too
I would like a copy that I can share with a buddy of mine that has seen the light but needs a little push, like a free copy of Standard
It’s about time to redo TrinityDigitalMedia.com and while I normally code it myself, I’d love to use Standard to get advanced features and take it up a notch.
I want to upgrade my current theme, standard is pretty intuitive for beginner for customization.
WINNER!!!!!!!
I’ve always been a big fan of Standard Theme and I’ve always thought that the 8 Bit team did such a fantastic job in coding it with all sorts of features and clean code.
I’d like to win a copy of this theme because I’m in full-time vocational ministry and I develop websites for church and ministry use. If I win a copy of Standard, I would use it to build a church or ministry website which means that the Standard theme would be used towards making an impact for the Kingdom
I’ve been looking to move over from Genesis to Standard 3 now for sometime. This would be the opportune time to make that happen. And I’m up for a challenge in switching themes.
I would like Standard 3 because (1) it is awesome, (2) you guys are giving it away, and (3) I’m currently using a free theme and would like to move up in the world!
I’ve been a fan of Standard for some time but haven’t had a destination to use it, until now. I’m working with a friend who is starting a new ministry for couples and he only has a minimal web presence. S3 would be a huge win for him!
WINNER!!!
Sweet!
I would love to upgrade my blog to Standard 3 because of their slick, professional design and SEO optimization.
I use Standard Theme on my wordpress.com blog, but would love to try it out on a self-hosted site.
Times are tight, standard theme is awesome and free stuff is even better
WINNER!!!!
I’d like Standard Theme 3 because I’m thinking about launching a new site that I feel would look amazing with that theme!
Because Standard is simply one of the best themes available anywhere!
I first became aware of he Standard Theme when I started reading Michael Hyatt’s blog. It just draws me in. It’s clean, professional without being clinical, modern without being cold, and from all I’ve read is ultimately usable and customizable.
I have a small blog that has been languishing a bit. I would like to greatly improve it and be more purposeful about developing it. I am using a free WordPress theme now because I find WordPress robust and eminently usable. I would be grateful for the enhanced features of Standard.
Thank you for what you are doing.
Ken
This would be great to replace our current outdated church site, which we are looking at redeveloping now!
I want to change the template of my website. That’s why I need a Standard Theme.
I want to use the theme for my pastor’s blog!
WINNER!!!!!!!!
Because my current blog design is about 3 years old and I’d really like something much more mobile-friendly.
WINNER!!!!!
I’ve always wanted to get Standard, but haven’t been able to afford it. I’d LOVE to see how S3 would enhance my blog!
WINNER!
I would love a copy of Standard Theme because I’m working on an idea for a site now and I’ve been wanting to try it out. I’m a “club member” with two of the top, most well-known WordPress theme development companies and I keep going to their themes out of habit and because I know I can get great support. I’d love to have the opportunity to find out the same here. And because it will bring world peace.
Great giveaway! I shared to Facebook.
OH. In addition to sharing, I had to say why I want standard theme. I CAN follow directions! I want standard theme because I need a professional blog for my freelance business. I’ve been holding off on it, but this would be the kickstart I need!
Because Standard rocks!
Cause Standard Theme is to WordPress as:
Robin is to Batman
Skywalker is to Yoda
Carlton is to Will
Silent Bob is to Jay
Kato is to The Green Hornet
Watson is to Holmes
Chewie is to Han
Goose is to Maverick
Pedro is to Napoleon
Gromit is to Wallace
Donkey is to Shrek
The world with one is good but with both it’s truly great!
Would love to get a responsive theme up on my site!
WINNER!!
Didnt know if my first post worked. Just know that this second post means that I am super excited to get a dynamic template up for my site!
I’ve seen Standard 3 in action from a reader perspective. I’d love to see what it’s like from a blogger perspective. Great looking theme that I’d love to work with!
Looking to update and relaunch my blog, Standard would be a great starting point!
S3 looks awesome! I’m getting ready to lauch a new site and am shopping around for a good theme to use. Winning a copy of S3 would be a great way to get me going!
@kingdomguy1
I’d love to have standard3! I’m hoping to switch to wordpress from blogger soon. what better way to make the move!
I’d love this, it would enable me to revitalise my blog, and continue to grow and develop it to help other children’s and youth workers.
I need a good push to get a blog going….I just want it!
Been using Standard 2 and love it, but would love a free upgrade even more!
I starte to blog a few years ago and now blog consistently about church ministry and leadership. I have a high traffic number and God has allowed my blog to help connect me with other leaders and even sharpened by skills as a leader. Standard 3 would help me make my blog look more “professional.”
WINNER!!!!!!
I’d love to be able to use Standard Theme 3 on my personal blog!
This would be a nice theme to make me go back to a self hosted site.
WINNER!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been blogging for 2 years now, and Standard theme would save me a HUGE amount of time. I’ve spent many hours tweaking my stylesheet and googling HTML coding. Standard theme makes all of that so much easier.
Thanks for considering me in the giveaway!
Im always in need of quality WordPress themes.
It would be great to have some good resources as this in hand.
Besides giving one of my blogs a face lift, I would love to look at the code and learn some new things.
