About 27collective

With more than a decade of presence on Envato, 27collective is an established theme studio with a focused catalog rather than a sprawling one. Their long tenure on the marketplace and consistent sales volume suggest a sustained commitment to maintaining and supporting their products — a meaningful signal when you're choosing a theme you may rely on for years.

Their total sales figure of roughly 26,580 is anchored heavily by a single standout product, which tells you that 27collective has chosen depth over breadth. This approach can be a genuine advantage: the studio's attention and resources are concentrated rather than spread thin.

Our Reviewed Theme

MyListing – Directory & Listing WordPress Theme

MyListing is 27collective's flagship product and one of the more recognized directory themes on Envato, with over 21,700 sales and a buyer rating of 4.80 out of 5. Our editorial team scored it 8.8 out of 10. It targets site owners building classified directories, local business listings, job boards, or niche community platforms on WordPress.

  • Strengths: Highly flexible listing types, a strong visual customizer, and a large community of buyers who generate substantial third-party documentation and tutorials.
  • Trade-offs: The theme's feature depth means a steeper learning curve for non-technical users. Some buyers report that configuring advanced listing fields takes meaningful setup time. As a complex theme, it also relies on several bundled plugins, which can complicate update management.

At $69 for a regular license, MyListing sits at the standard price point for premium directory themes. Given the sales volume and rating, market data supports it as a credible choice — but do factor in time for onboarding and, potentially, developer help for custom configurations.

Support & Reliability

27collective directs buyers to a dedicated helpdesk for theme support, separate from the Envato comments system. A dedicated support portal is generally a positive sign for post-purchase experience, as it allows for organized ticket tracking rather than buried forum threads. That said, actual response times and quality are best assessed through recent buyer reviews on the product page.

Who Should Consider 27collective?

If you're building a directory or listing-based WordPress site and want a theme with a proven track record, 27collective's MyListing is worth serious consideration. Buyers who prefer a lean catalog from a focused studio — rather than a generalist shop — will find the author's profile reassuring.

What kinds of websites is MyListing built for?

MyListing is designed for directory and listing websites — think local business directories, job boards, classified ads, real estate listings, or niche community portals. It is not a general-purpose blog or e-commerce theme.

Does 27collective offer customer support for their themes?

Yes. 27collective operates a dedicated support helpdesk separate from the Envato marketplace. Buyers are directed there for theme-specific help, which typically provides more structured support than marketplace comment threads.

Is a $69 regular license for MyListing a one-time payment?

On Envato Market, the $69 regular license is a one-time purchase that covers use on a single end product. It does not include ongoing support beyond the included support period — extended support can be purchased separately at checkout.
