What Is EngineThemes and What Does It Offer?

Updated

EngineThemes is a WordPress application theme creator that builds complete platforms for setting up and customizing websites. Its catalog centers on marketplace, microjob, freelance, forum, and community themes, sold as premium products with setup and customization support. It fits people who want a WordPress-based platform for services, gigs, or community discussion rather than a general-purpose blog theme.

What themes does EngineThemes offer?

The site lists these themes, with the prices shown on the page:

Theme Listed price Focus
MicrojobEngine USD 89 Premium microjob marketplace theme
FreelanceEngine USD 89 Premium freelancing marketplace theme
ForumEngine USD 49 Forum theme
TribeEngine USD 29 one time, setup included Community theme combining short-video Reels and structured discussion on WordPress

TribeEngine is described as a new partner product, and installation and configuration are included with every purchase. The other themes are presented with details and live demo links, so you can inspect them before deciding.

What features come with the themes?

The page highlights a consistent set of capabilities across the product line:

  • Frontend controls — publish content and adjust design without leaving the homepage.
  • Translation support — build a multilingual site or localize it with a built-in translator.
  • Mobile version — a dedicated mobile design for mobile audiences.
  • Easy launch — the site says everything needed is packaged so you can set up and monetize right away.
  • Simplicity — the themes are positioned around minimal, clean design.

For TribeEngine specifically, the page frames the value as running a modern community on WordPress, with short-video Reels and structured discussion in one place.

Who is it for?

EngineThemes suits you if you are building one of these platform types on WordPress and want a ready-made application theme rather than assembling plugins from scratch:

  • A microjob or task marketplace
  • A freelancing marketplace
  • A forum or discussion community
  • A community site that mixes short video and threaded discussion

If you need a simple content site or blog, these application themes are more than you need.

What else does the site provide?

Beyond themes, EngineThemes lists services including Expert Help and a Marketplace Launch Audit, plus a Deals section. It also runs an affiliate program: the page says it is free to join, takes about a minute, and pays a commission on every sale you refer.

How to evaluate before buying

  1. Open the theme's Details and Live Demo links from the theme listing to see the actual layouts and flows.
  2. Match the demo to your use case — for example, check whether the microjob flow fits the kind of tasks you plan to list.
  3. Confirm what support is included for your chosen theme; TribeEngine explicitly includes installation and configuration, while the page presents the others with details and demo links.
  4. Check the listed price for your theme and any current deals before purchasing.

The main decision point is platform type: pick the theme whose demo matches the marketplace or community you intend to run, then verify setup support and pricing for that specific product.
