Seven WordPress Themes That I Can’t Believe are Free
Posted by admin | Posted in Design | Posted on 31-10-2008
If you have ever searched for WordPress themes, it probably didn’t take you long to realize just how many there are floating around on the Internet. Although there are a lot of great free WordPress themes for you to choose from, there are just as many (if not more) that are pretty poor, which is why there is a demand for Premium WordPress themes. While it would take a much longer list to profile all of the quality free WordPress themes I have came across, this post features seven themes that are free, but would still be extremely popular even if they cost money to download:
Guzel Pro Magazine: News and magazine style themes are some of the most popular types of Premium themes. However, the Guzel Pro Magazine theme (which was just recently released) won’t cost you a dime, and it offers the same (if not more) quality than the majority of the Premium news themes I have seen.
Infinity: Although this theme wouldn’t work with every blog, if you need a theme that is bright and vibrant, this one is quite amazing. Featuring three fixed columns and multiple social media integrations, even if you don’t end up using this theme, you will enjoy looking at it.
Neoclassical: Designed by Chris Pearson (who is responsible for the extremely popular Thesis Premium Theme), the free Neoclassical theme focuses on beautiful typography. With three columns and the ability to display random header images, this theme can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
WP CODA: The WP CODA theme is based on the Coda (which is a one-window web development product for Mac) website, which has long been admired by designers as being an amazingly designed website. The WP CODA theme features fluid navigation, and works amazingly well for a website that is promoting a product or service.
Elements of SEO: There are three reasons that this is a great theme. First, the design is very attractive (note the lovely large header image, which can easily be customized). Secondly, the theme was created to be search engine friendly, so you won’t have to worry about making any changes on your own. Finally, the team behind this theme keeps it up-to-date, so you won’t have to worry about it breaking on your down the road.
Copyblogger: Although you’ve probably seen quite a few blogs using this theme, I still think it’s one of the best free themes available. Since it was designed by Chris Pearson, you know that it has a solid framework. With just a little bit of work, you can customize this great theme and make it stand out on its own.
Scruffy: If you are looking for a grungy theme to make your blog stand out from the rest, take a look at the Scruffy theme. With an intentionally messy background and easy to read body, I think the Scruffy theme is one of the top choices available for a personal blog.
