    Infinity is looking very good and professional. there are various themes out these days but most popular one's are from used and can be seen every where. These sort of themes kind of stand out from the crowd.
  • Lisa Creech Bledsoe · 1 year ago
    These are gorgeous, but they look like personal themes rather than ones you might see used in the corporate universe. We can haz another post?
  • Patrick K. O'Brien · 1 year ago
    @Lisa - For something more corporate, or at least more minimalistic, take a look at the Thesis theme. I've got some tips about it on my blog, which uses Thesis. I use Thesis on both company websites as well as personal blogs. Thesis is easy to customize to your own tastes. But out-of-the box it is simple, elegant, and understated, rather than flashy.
  • cakemaster · 1 year ago
    But... Thesis looks like Feces...

    Great list. Some really amazing look themes. Thanks for sharing.

    WOAH! WPCoda is a total ripoff of the Coda website...

    panic.com/coda

    Even leaving it in the name of the template. Talk about balls.

    Unless the WPCoda people got permission from Panic Software, they've just gotten on every web developer's blacklist.

    Cool, I like them!
  • FatRickChords · 1 year ago
    Nice list !
    You can also visit : WPThemesNews (http://www.wpthemesnews.com/)
    You'll find most of the best free/premium themes providers.

    The themes look beautiful, but I just can't imagine them being used successfully as it makes content harder to find and the sites harder to navigate.
  • Andrew · 1 year ago
    I agree with Brandon, though I would put it more strongly. A theme shouldn't "stun" users, it should show them the content in an unobtrusive manner. There's nothing wrong with attractive themes, but most of these themes are more distracting than useful.

    I really liked Wood World, but then I went to the site and it said they sell it for 15 dollars...
  • n3o · 1 year ago

  • Susan · 1 year ago
    The first one is really pretty.
  • Abhijeet · 1 year ago
    Coda doesn't need an introduction but its awesome! I like Notepad as well. Will fit in nicely for a personal blog.
  • Ferienwohnung Barcelona · 1 year ago
    Beautiful works. I agree, they all are not too business oriented though...
  • Cristian Neagu · 1 year ago

    wow... these themes are beautiful

    does anyone know of a script/program/etc. that will automatically change the theme of a Wordpress blog automatically (like every week)?

    we have one company blog... http://blog.jippidy.com .. but i want to find a way to make changing the theme more of an automated process
  • Susan · 1 year ago
    A beautiful list of wordpress themes!
  • Axealis · 1 year ago
    Great wordpress template, it can make visitor visit your blog
  • Patrick K. O'Brien · 1 year ago
    For a less obtrusive and more restrained theme take a look at the Thesis Theme. I've posted about the latest release here:

  • camille · 8 months ago
    I like DIY themes. it is very customizable and easy to navigate. Not free- $80, but worth it, i think.
  • Emily M. · 8 months ago
    Love the designs. I wish there were more design layout features for sites like twitter and tumblr.

    I started with a 'Modularity' theme brought out by the guys who developed the F8 theme. It now has completely changed and evolved in to The Logorunner theme, my website.
  • Vishal · 6 months ago
    Not free, but dirt cheap.. Here is a good video blogging theme which is highly customizable, adaptable and very professional looking.

    They look good to eyes but its not my type. I like simple and cleaner ones with simple layout making readers feel comfortable reading the posts on the blog.

    Good list but a little outdated - WordPress themes has evolved alot since this post was published.

    Nonetheless this is still a good pick :)
  • devshades · 5 months ago
    I love these magazine themes which helps your site to stand out from the crowd of blogs. Nice collection and thanks for sharing.
  • Bookkeeper in Guildford · 5 months ago
    These themes are definately nice, but as with most that i have found, they look fairly impractical for a serious site/blog.

    Perhaps theme developers should give more of a thought to the use of the themes rather than giving the graphics all the attention.

    What would be nice is a greater variety of themes which allow for a wider range of usage. It is slightly frustrating that without decent PHP knowledge you cant adjust the sidebar positions etc.

    thank you very good.

    Love The Notepad Chaos.
    I would like to use it on my blog but can't get the css sheet up because of a problem with dreamweaver so if anyone could send me the code I'll be a big fan ;)

    We based our website off the WP Coda website. We tweaked it a bit but for the most part we have just changed the images.
