16 Free WordPress Themes That will Make You Forget Premium Themes

by Simrandeep Singh on November 5, 2009

The price of custom-made WordPress themes can vary from $100 to $1000 or even more than that. Not all the bloggers are rich enough to bear these expenses. Even the premium WordPress themes are out of range for most of the bloggers that don’t cost much to the users. So if you are a newbie blogger or you are running your blog just for your hobby and you are not earning from your blog then here are 16 free premium WordPress themes for you that you may consider to use on your blog.

This collection represents all those free premium WordPress themes that I was planning to use on my blog when I migrated my blog from blogger to WordPress. So there are no low quality themes in this collection.

All nice themes you listed, but how is the support on those themes. I know many download free themes, but get stuck some time and there is no support for them. Others do offer support, but very slow.

BTW, I have added this post for next Monday’s roundup on my blog.

Some designers provide good support for free themes. But I think you can’t get good support with free themes as with premium themes. This is the only difference in premium and free themes.

Thanks for adding this post to your next monday’s roundup :)

Well, basically I don’t really care about support or SEO. When you get something for free, there is no bargain. Besides, there are plenty of “out-of-box” SEO plugins for Wordpress such as a All in One SEO. It works great for me.

I see a Google AdSense Banner below your content. It’s neatly blended and keeps my interest in looking at the ad, which is great. I was wondering if that’s safe to implement. Doesn’t it violate Google’s TOS? Hope you don’t mind me asking…

I personally see nothing wrong with such implementation, but better be safe than sorry. Good thing you changed it.

@Simran: There seems to be some issue with your Comment Subscription. Whenever a comment is posted here, I get multiple notification about the same comment. Looks like something is wrong with the plugin which you are using. Can you please look into that? My inbox is flooded with comment notification and manually deleting them is a pain.

The choice of WordPress themes now is incredible and with so many free ones out there, there is no excuse for not having a web site or blog !!!. So go to wordpress.org and get one… you might need a web designer to help you install it if you haven;t done this before !! Good luck !

Ricky November 11, 2009 at 8:48 am

Awesome collection simran. I really like free themes but the support wont be same as premium theme. I’ve designed my own theme for personal use. I might release it for the public use with some modification. Im a newbie in the design world.

Reply

Simran November 11, 2009 at 10:04 am

Thanks for your appreciation Ricky :)

I think if we get a premium like theme for free then we can easily avoid the support.
