- Download & demo: http://demo.mythemeshop.com/s/?theme=Great
- Category: Blog
- Responsive: Yes
With an unlimited selection of colour themes, as well as being SEO Optimized, this free WordPress theme would be appropriate for any blogger. Another feature which has been cropping up on some of the newer themes is the Translation-ready abilities, reaching new audiences in a foreign languages.
22. Xenastore
- Download and demo: www.web2feel.com/xenastore
- Category: Ecommerce
- Responsive: No
Xenastore is one of those WordPress themes that stands out because it is simple but bold. The use of colours and graphical elements are subtle but add a lot of value to the site. The homepage offers several widget areas, making it very easy to offer specials, coupons and more. With a large featured section, showcasing a small number of products can be done very easily.
23. Responsive
- Download and demo: themeid.com/responsive-theme
- Category: Website
- Responsive: Yes
I like this free WordPress theme so much I'm currently using it to power Jes.se.com. Responsive utilises several homepage widget areas to drop in content, making it easy to control everything. It has a very large and easy to control featured area on the homepage, which was perfect for me to feature my book,Web Designer's Guide to WordPress.
24. Balloons
- Download and demo: moargh.de/portfolio/downloads/wp-theme-balloons
- Category: Website
- Responsive: No
Who doesn't like Balloons? I could probably ask the same thing about parallax scrolling. This is the first free WordPress theme I've seen that uses the recently widely adopted effect of multiple scrolling speeds. Balloons utilises a minimalistic design and lets you focus on the cool scrolling effect. While a small business or corporation may not get what they want out of this theme it would work beautifully for an event or personal website.
25. Grid
- Download and demo: www.dessign.net/grid-theme-responsive
- Category: Portfolio
- Responsive: Yes
Grid gives you the feeling you're on a site that's had a lot of thought put into its design. This free WordPress theme would work really well for a portfolio, artist or event site. It's very graphic or photo heavy so make sure you have the content to back it up. One plus is that this theme maintains its responsiveness quite well.
26. WP Coda
- Download and demo: choicethemes.com/wordpress/wp-coda
- Category: Single page, website
- Responsive: No
What WPCoda does well is easy navigation of pages without moving off the homepage. All the pages in the tabbed navigation below the tagline are served to the visitor without reloading the page, functionality that is usually reserved for custom builds. I have to be honest, I'm not really sold on the colour scheme of WP Coda, but that is easily adaptable to your needs.
27. Fotofolio
- Download and demo: favoritewpthemes.com/fotofolio-landscape
- Category: Photography
- Responsive: No
If you're looking for a free WordPress theme that lets the content do the work, then Fotofolio is for you. While its design and layout is really well done, it's also subtle and inconspicuous, allowing your stunning photos to take control of the visitor's eyes. The functionality and use of the theme is also quite nice.
28. Bonpress
- Download and demo: www.wpzoom.com/themes/bonpress
- Category: Website, blog, portfolio
- Responsive: Yes
I'm becoming more and more a fan of the left hand nav. With the adoption of wider desktops it makes it easy for us to utilise more space, making it easier and more pleasant for visitors to view your content. Free WordPress theme Bonpress does a really nice job of organising the layout while maintaining responsive functionality. Whether you need a typical website, blog or portfolio site, this theme will do nicely for you.
29. _ARCHITEKT
- Download and demo: www.dessign.net/architekt-theme
- Category: Website, blog, portfolio
- Responsive: Yes
At first glance, I couldn't tell if I really liked this free WordPress theme or just the stunning photos. Sometimes if your content (especially photos) isn't as nice as what's in the demo, you can lose the effect you wanted in the first place. However, after getting to know Architekt a bit more I realised it was the layout and minimalistic approach to the design that made the content stand out so well. This is a really nicely designed and well thought-out responsive theme that will work for you.
30. Swatch
- Download and demo: http://demo.woothemes.com/swatch/
- Category: Website, Portfolio
- Responsive: No
The crew over at WooThemes really know what they are doing. This free WordPress theme is very well designed, with a lot of detail put into every element. Swatch is definitely a theme that you don't have to customise at all, it's just so nice right out of the box.
There are a lot of widget areas, columns and places for a lot of content. Make sure you have enough content to fill it. Hopefully in the near future they'll put in the extra work to make this theme responsive.
