When building out some of my websites, I generally look for an inexpensive website theme to use, and lately I’ve preferred to use WordPress, as it’s easy to update and add plugins. Sometimes I use the theme completely as is, and other times I hire a freelance programmer to make special customizations for me.
I’ve used ThemeForest.net several times, and the site always seems to have new and interesting themes to use – at relatively reasonable prices (between $15 – $35/each). Many of the themes offered have different color schemes and/or styles from which to choose, giving you more flexibility.
Below are my current 5 favorite customizable WordPress themes:
- Agivee Corporate/Business WordPress Theme – $32.00
- Universal Business WordPress Template – $27.00
- Simply Business – WordPress – $27.00
- 7 in 1 Business Success WordPress Theme – $27.00
- RT-Theme 7 / Business Theme 2 x 10 in 1 For WordPress – $27.00
For those of you that care, those are affiliate codes although I do not know the designers.
Thanks, Elliot.
It appears the “live preview” at the first link Agivee is being redirected to mybookface.net.
Great stuff from ThemeForest.
I really like the customized WP theme Wpclassipress.com which you used for DogWalker.com
Very clean and professional looking.
@ Jon
I hesitate to mention it (even though it worked well) because it was HIGHLY modified. My designer/programmer basically just used the core of the template and re-skinned the entire thing.
Hey Elliot,
I’m actually still looking for a calendar theme, wanted to develop a domain name that deals with events and having problems locating a good wp theme, any suggestions would be fantastic.
I tried http://bustatheme.com/wordpress/wp-calendar/ but not able to post future events.
@ Steve
My designer is working on something for Lowell.com right now and I’ll let you know what he chooses.
Elliot,
Lowell.com is being designed as a directory site I was referring to an event site.
