5 Free Wordpress Themes You Could Pay For
The most obvious difference between premium and free Wordpress themes has for long been the quality in addition to price. But more and more professional web designers are designing free Wordpress themes as a proven online marketing strategy. A well crafted wp theme offered for free will not only generate many backlinks, but may also increase awareness of the theme designer.
After some research I can list five designers, freelancers and agencies that have created exceptionally beautiful free Wordpress themes. Here we go:
1. WeFunction Design Agency – Magazeen theme
Magazeen is the second in a line of free Wordpress themes created by WeFunction.com. Implementing a jQuery based Latest Image Showcase on a clean and communicative web design, Magazeen is an outstanding freebie from WeFunction. Costing only two links in the footer, Magazeen is a great example of professional free Wordpress theme of today.
2. WELLMEDICATED – Zinepress theme
WELLMEDICATED.com is the creation of the talented Vancouver native, Andrew Lindstrom. Just recently taking the step to designing websites full time, Lindstrom wasn’t late to create the beautiful magazine/news theme Zinepress. With all the elements of a classic theme, Lindstrom has made the theme user-friendly with thumbnails and post listings on frontpage and a customizable ad space on the sidebar.
3. ProductiveDreams – Imprezz theme
Trying to access ProductiveDreams.com to retrieve some juicy information, I was greeted by an error page. But based on the design of Imprezz theme, these designers seem to know what they are doing.
4. Paulicio.us – Viewport theme
Paul Bennett released Viewport November 5th 2008 and offers his services as a freelancing developer at Paulicio.us. Viewport is an exceptional wp theme as it is obtained by a featured content image slider on front page. The large images makes for quite an impressive first impression of the site and a true pioneer contribution the to free Wordpress themes category.
5. Woothemes – Irresistible theme
Woothemes.com produces mostly premium Wordpress themes but throw in a free theme now and again. Irresistible is a personal blog theme with My-sections for posts, photos, feeds and video. A perfect and well-designed option for a portfolio or blog site.
