BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few practical questions.
What can I use today?+
Launchboard and Commonroom are downloadable free alphas. Each includes a theme and companion plugin, with a populated WordPress demo to explore. Test on staging first.
Is hosting included?+
No. Install the theme and plugin on your own WordPress hosting. The free browser demo is temporary and is not a hosted production site.
Can I run paid listings or memberships?+
Not with these alphas alone. Payments, paid placements, memberships, automatic updates, and commercial support are not included.
Are these affiliated with Product Hunt or Reddit?+
No. Epic Themes is independently built. The products use familiar directory and discussion patterns with their own design and code.
