Best Wordpress Theme

How about the free responsive theme from iThemify: Themify Demos

I also like the clean designs by the German company themes at http://www.elmastudio.de/en/ . Just click on the English version. These are truly responsive and they offer free or very inexpensive themes

Make sure that whatever you get is responsive.

Thanks

That appears to be the same theme re-skinnined a zillion times.

@OP: I think the Elegant theme is the best one I've seen here. I've seen it before; I have an EG dev license.
I'd go with that.

For me, optimizepress is out of the running.

Has anyone used other themes?

I would like the theme to look like any of the website below:

I like Fusion WordPress Theme. (I like the page selling the theme, not the theme itself)

Other websites I like:
Text The Romance Back with Michael Fiore
FreshKey Keyword Analyzer Software - Brought to you by Digital Marketer
Link Building Training Course - Point Blank SEO
Optimize Press | Pro Internet Marketing Tools (I like the page selling the theme, not the themes they offer within)

Ok I am confused. You say you like the Optimizepress sales page but you don't like OptimizePress. OptimizePress uses... wait for it... OptimizePress as their theme. They have just spent a time making it look nice which is what you would have to do with any theme. That is the beauty of it, they give you lots of tools to make it look like that. But if you want other options.

For standard blog themes that are highly customizable, look at Woo Themes Canvas. Its very popular with bloggers and others. Gives you tons of options and I think its a one time $70 charge.

One of those sites up there I believe uses this theme:

Free WordPress Themes | Facebook Page Editor | WP Themes Free. Generate Leads and Sign Ups on Your WordPress Blog or Website with Leadtheme for WordPress.

Its free so easy to check out and play with. I might just try it myself.

A lot of people like Profits Theme and I would say is the closest competitor to OptimizePress.

LOL. I went and checked their source code too and was like ???

There is no best wordpress theme, only the best theme for you.

I like to use headway. There are ups and downs - but I like the creative freedom to copy pretty much any layout there is.

I find the themes from Themeforest.net incredibly appealing. You should also ALWAYS use a responsive theme, as you'd be losting traffic to your competitors otherwise. There are many customizable themes so you don't even need to learn HTML/CSS although I do recommend learning them.

Best of luck.

I do not agree you should always use a responsive theme. Sometimes using a mobile plugin works better for user readability compared to a responsive theme. Don't get me wrong, I use them quite a bit, but, for pure blogs and ecommerce shops, I go mobile theme/module/plugin over responsive any day...

It depends.
Some sites are very computer-centric. Not for pads or cell phones.
So who cares? It needless extra work seen by a tiny fraction of your viewers.

This is why it's important to know your demographics, and your target market.

How does a plugin work better for readability? A good responsive design is as good as having two separate designs. Actually if you were following the trends you would know that responsive designs is where web design is going because it supports all screen sizes - even the ones that don't exist yet.

Responsive works great in many, but not all circumstances. You will notice that most high quality ecommerce sites are not responsive, but instead serve up a completely separate look and feel on mobile. This makes displaying products and categories much easier for the mobile user.

As for many pure information blogs, there is no need to maintain the top slider like you would on a desk top or need the various side bar elements that you might have on a normal website.

I never work in absolutes. You said you ALWAYS should have a responsive theme. I disagree, in some circumstances having a mobile plugin works better for readibility for the end user while maintaining the look and feel the customer wants on the full site. I have a Master Sommelier who runs a blog and given how he wanted his main site to look, adding a mobile plugin to his wordpress site makes it much more readable compared to having to compress and push a site to make it fit like a responsive theme would.

I stand by my remarks.

Thanks

I've found Headway Themes a good investment, I got the developer version so I could use it on all my websites, it gives me a lot of flexibility in laying out pages in it's visual editor. Moving areas around the screen and dragging / dropping them where I want them for me has been more productive than getting involved in editing theme files.

I think you have to look at several factors.
1. Cost, premium or free
2. Your level of experience working with wordpress.
3. Application the type of project or site you are creating

When it comes to free you will not always have the Flexibility you would with a premium theme. Now with the plugins available today and more created everyday you can take a free theme and tailor it the way you want, but the premium still have more to offer.

I found Elegant Themes very affordable and they have created very responsive designs. They offer over 80 different themes last time I checked.

first decide what exactly are you going to do.

make a broucher site, portfolio site, selling some info product site, dating site etc etc etc..

after this is decided, you start looking for a theme, you dont' start other way, i.e get a theme, and then think what do you want to sell,

also, as almost all the greatest sellers will say - you can sell only what you love to do, not the other way .

I would start with a solid framework, such as studiopress/genesis and then do one of two things:

1) Get Dynamik for genesis to build your own theme
2) Pay someone to build a theme based on the framework

That way, if you have revisions down the road you are keeping the same backend and can modify the look/feel/widgets anytime you want to without starting from scratch.

I like flexibility which I can get with a frame work than a theme. There are many frameworks available but
I like Genesis (studio press) + Dynamik for genesis (from cobalt apps).
Ultimatum theme- It is relatively a new framework but developer is constantly improving it.
At the end it depends on other factors As others mentioned above:

Type of site.
How much time you can invest if you choose a framework because every framework has a little bit of learning curve.

Hi
I think you should decide what style you prefer and also be realistic about how much customization you are up to. If you are new to WordPress I recommend a premium multi-purpose theme e.g. from Themeforest, but you can also find good free themes like this: Review: Customizr – A Free Responsive WordPress Theme built with Twitter Bootstrap
Good luck
