83 Beautiful WordPress Themes You (Probably) Haven’t Seen
Sometimes it’s just like searching for a needle in a haystack: if you’ve ever googled for free and quality WordPress Themes, you know exactly what we’re talking about. Most designers love to create WordPress themes, so they can demonstrate the quality of their work and add some fresh works to their portfolios.
However, most WordPress themes are either used too often (Kubrick theme, now K2, is definitely overused) or just have nothing to offer – particularly, if you are looking for a free, impressive and professional design. However, sometimes search is worth it. In the gallery below you’ll find 83 free WordPress Themes you probably haven’t seen yet. All themes offer quality, elegance and a user-friendly interface. … and please take a look at Dr. Web’s free WordPress Theme ModernOak. Links checked: July/3rd 2008.

February 9th, 2007 10:06 pmHey, I always read you entries and really like this blog. Just came here and saw you added my WordPress theme to that list (80), funny :-)
Allexiel
February 9th, 2007 10:20 pmI just released my own theme at my blog, and those free wordpress themes make me cry -_-
I want to make a new one now!
Thanks for that list :)
stuart
February 9th, 2007 10:29 pmNice collection. Too bad I just switched to Mephisto.
Luisa
February 9th, 2007 11:07 pmHad already grabbed the first one as a placeholder for my site, while I learn how to work with CSS myself.
Love your site, thanks for all the great information you put here.
Luisa.
Navdeep
February 9th, 2007 11:15 pmVery good looking themes. I hope my Blog http://www.whitesquid.com could be nominated under this category. :)
Han
February 9th, 2007 11:57 pmWordPress themes are overly complicated :( I’ve done a series of “wordpress themes for beginners” themes! (ie none of that unnecessary coding!)
Bill
February 10th, 2007 12:18 amI’m constantly amazed at the great stuff you feature on this site. This is a fantastic list. I always dread digging through the WP themes to find one I like, and here you’ve done all the work for me. :)
Brandon
February 10th, 2007 1:28 amThanks for the list! I use a few of them currently, but most of them I’d never seen. I’m going to search the rest of your site now.
Oliver Tani
February 10th, 2007 1:38 amThis is an awesome list. I usually use the wordpress theme viewer online but have never seen most of these… I love wordpress for its simplicity and its numerous abilities… I just gotta stop using it on every singe site I put online! Haha!
Derek
February 10th, 2007 2:57 amFYI: For items 68 and 69, the href address is pointing to the address that 67 is referring to (Minima Plus). The preview links for each are correct though. Thanks for compiling this list, it’s very useful.
Max
February 10th, 2007 3:48 amwow! I love your lists / collections. Keep on ;-)
Matt
February 10th, 2007 4:58 amIs that Soxnest (redsox) theme downloadable? I couldn’t find a link to it anywhere. They mention their themes are downloadable at http://www.devlounge.net/extras, but Soxnest isn’t listed. Anyone know where to find it?
David G. Paul
February 10th, 2007 5:08 amWell it’s a list thats not just useful for WordPress users, but also for people who are looking for inspiration.
Nice job!
Jim
February 10th, 2007 5:28 amCan these be used for blogs housed at WordPress.com or just if you are using the WordPress software on your own site?
Eoin
February 10th, 2007 5:45 amCan I recommend Mandigo (at ) for the next iteration of this list?
Eric
February 10th, 2007 7:03 amWell this can’t be a coincidence…
http://www.drweb.de/weblog/weblog/?p=767
More than a slight resemblance here – but kudos for finding 3 on your own!

February 11th, 2007 1:53 amWow… Wonderful article. The title perfectly fit. All of them are really rare… I am going to use at least five of them for my blog…
Dave C.
February 11th, 2007 1:58 amThere are some great one’s here. I’ve been looking at themes for another site and I think I’ve found the perfect one here. Thanks for this post.
tom
February 11th, 2007 2:34 amTrès bons goûts dans les chois de ces thèmes..j’en avais déjà installé une bonne partie mais certains vraiment intérrésants méritent une petite mise à jour..Good job !
Andrew
February 11th, 2007 6:05 amThanks for including Iceburgg and Soxnest, but Soxnest is not a public theme. It was a theme designed for personal use that was than sold off to a new owner.
jez
February 11th, 2007 11:39 pmone of the best write-ups. thanks!!
ahmet
February 12th, 2007 3:05 amthats nice! but, i could not glance at all of them… also, it would be better if we can have some options to obtain wordpress templates easily that we can change them by manually easily i meant…
have fun :Pp
Ethan
February 12th, 2007 4:52 amYou should take the Organique theme off the list – it doesn’t seem to be accessible at all.
Bryce
February 12th, 2007 2:24 pmThanks for this, I’ll definately come here when looking for wordpress themes

February 12th, 2007 11:35 pmI can’t seem to find where to download the SoxNest theme, could you perhaps edit it to where I can download it at? Thanks so much for this list as well.

Dan
February 13th, 2007 1:50 amUsing an overly popular WordPress theme is a sure-fire way to have your blog to fall into obscurity. These are all very impressive and I hope they encourage new users to tweak their blog designs now they see what is possible.
Jason
February 13th, 2007 2:16 amI just finished uploading my modified version of fjords and my friend shows me this! I’m not sure if I’m happy to see all these beautiful themes or really upset?! Regardless your magazine here is great, thank you for all the great resources.

Actually , i have individually visited each of these sites , but never thought of putting them at one place .
Good Job .
Jordan
February 19th, 2007 4:01 amWhy not just link to 80 WordPress Themes by Dr Web Weblog, instead of copy/pasting that post here?
Karl
February 19th, 2007 3:56 pm@Jordan: Because both websites are run by the same folks… DrWeb’s for german language people, SmashingMagazine is international.
Asep
February 20th, 2007 8:33 amI agree these are beautiful themes. I hope these compatible with WordPress 2.1

Hans
March 3rd, 2007 3:14 pmWOW thanks for this great list. I also released a new theme called ColourFull Wall. Maybe you could have a look at it :) It’s a black minimalist theme, highly customisable, lightning fast,easy to deploy and use while supporting the vast majority of plugins out there.
You can view the live demo version here.

Just a heads up – the 3rd one featured, Soxnest – the URL is actually http://www.soxnest.com not the one you have working.

May 31st, 2007 10:57 pmI would like to know how could I get in contact with your compnay. I see some items that I would like to use to create a web page, but I need to know what I can and can not use. I also want to know if there is a template available for purchase on the design that you choose. is there a phone number that I can use to speak to a customer service rep?
Hornswaggled
June 1st, 2007 3:18 amIm running number 79 on another site I have. Too funny! Some of these are great. Im probably looking at this a little late as I have seen many of these around but then again I am always looking out for new styles.Thanks for the list.
Thomas
June 2nd, 2007 12:25 amGreat collection of sophisticated themes. In case someone is looking for something simpler but easier to customize, you might want to have a look at a template I just completed. Again, it’s not a visual stunner, but if simple design and easy customization are what you are looking for, you’re invited to check it out.

June 6th, 2007 5:58 pmWow, that’s quite a list!

I´m going to use Leia for my new blog.
Kelly
August 23rd, 2007 11:44 pmAmongst these 83 listed, I prefer: iceberg, soxnest, intrablog, XV, plain box, Theme leia, peaceful rush, greenery, fall season, glossy blue and japanese cherry.
There are many more “wordpress themes” more beautiful than the ones listed here but they are hard to find and are not free, and tend to lean towards more to the ARTISTIC like Plain Box/Theme Leia and Jap Cherry.
I personally find the REVVED UP theme (by Rudd-O) nice too cos I can replace i with my own face. :)

Tom Melon
September 29th, 2007 11:22 pmI think the best themes are from TemplateWorld. Why? Because most of them are designed in Web 2.0 standards and also they are 100% XHTML and CSS – W3C Standards Compliants.
Highly recommend them. You can find many themes from TemplateWorld that are listed on this page. For example the Time Manager theme.
