He's running a special on the theme itself:
http://jackhopman.com/local-theme-jackw/
which is one-time $47 for unlimited installs of any of his 3 themes.
... or
http://jackhopman.com/enterprisep/
which $9 trial then $47/mo for access to 200+ niches and up to 10 installs/month
I'm thinking it could be an easy way to deploy lead gen or sites for rental.
For $9 I'm willing to give it a try:)
This junk has been around for years, and he pulls it out of its coffin a couple of times a year.
Anyone who is seriously considering using this or selling it should read the posts here about it crashing a typical WP site. That's the least of your worries. Maintenance is a nightmare.
The comments about it being 1990-ish are also true (IMHO).
Folks, business owners are not the dumb lunks that JVZ sellers tell you they are. They are looking at the same ads, videos, etc. we all are and they expect a lot more for $2500 up front and $500/month than any of these products offer.
That's my experience, your mileage may vary.
We've sold about 20 of these sites...we use them for what I term our PITA (pain in the anterior) clients or those too cheap to pay for a proper custom site...generally at $500 and $49 a month....they get what they pay for and ironically most of them like it.....

I think sites like these are fine for the low end of the market. The handyman or plumber that wants a web presence, and $500 seems about right. You're not going to sell these people a $2500 custom website.
Jack Hauptman designs are really outdated. I LOVE the concept of being able to build quick and dirty sites, but detest his design. Even for a simple lead gen website. Stuck in 1999.
So I've been paying for this for too long. The support, maintenance and billing are a disaster. I agree it's for low end customers only.
What I need to know is: How easy would it be to block Jack's servers from 'contacting' or turning off my sites once built. I have tons of website credits that I want to quickly build and then dump the $47 (or now it's $59, Jack doesn't even seem to know!)
I'm SO SICK OF THAT JERK! But I've spent a lot of money with him and I want all the sites I've already paid for to be up and not able to be turned off by Jack 'the Don' (my a$$, more like "the Con") Hopman.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Once the site is built. remove the plugin.
Ok. I didn't think that would work. I also realize, once I dump the membership, I'm also not going to be able to update the sites either. That will be a REAL problem should I sell them. (Didn't think of that either before spending too much on Jack "the Con" H.) I'll have to use them primarily for lead gen it looks like. Thanks! One more question if you will. How many of these would sit on a shared host, or maybe a reseller account, if I build out all my 'credits' from the membership. (NOT made live, just the paid version put up and hidden) Appreciate that answer.
