I recently upgraded my Eazy Cheezy WordPress theme and after taking a peak at some of the awesome themes available for chump change, I wanted to show you some of the great WordPress Themes you can get for a very reasonable price. Though there are so many great Free WordPress Themes available, spending a few bucks can really be a step up, while also enabling you to get better support for modifying your theme or getting assistance when troubleshooting. I’d love to eventually create my own theme, but due to lack of time and patience, I’ll just stick with the ready-made templates for awhile. So let’s take a look at 5 sexy WordPress Themes.
Inspired Blog $25 – This sharp looking WordPress 2.8, 2 Column Theme provides many bells and whistles. Readers can click on any of the colors in the “Customize” section to change the theme colors to their liking with each visit. It offers a JQuery slideshow gallery to get project previews, optional related posts or author description below each post, social bookmarking below each post, etc.
Imperial $30 -Imperial is just a really cool looking WordPress 2.8, 3 Column Theme that offers a full dark or white color theme. It has integrated support for 28 social networking buttons, support for Twitter Tools, Flickr RSS, WP-Page Navi and Subscribe to Comments Plugins. It also provides a custom widget for 3 main ad spots and much, much more.
Varnish – Highly Customizable Blog Theme $35 – WordPress 2.8, 3 Column Theme that features 23 bundled color schemes, customizable from WP-Admin. Both sidebars are widgetized, custom widgets for 3 ad spots, support for Twitter Tools, Flickr RSS, WP-Page Navi and Subscribe to Comments Plugins.
Dark Atlantic Portfolio WP Theme $30 – This WordPress 2.8, 2 Column Theme is a perfect theme for any portfolio, great for showcasing images and photos. It features enhanced slider options, 6 uniquely styled themes, JQuery Lightbox, JQuery Thumbnail Gallery Slider, JQuery Homepage Slider, JQuery Subpage Mini Slider and more.
Filthy $30 – WordPress 2.8, 2 Column Personal Blog Theme that comes in two full color schemes, black and brown. Integrated social networking profile buttons, widgetized sidebar with some custom made widgets, support for Twitter Tools, Flickr RSS, WP-PageNavi, and Subscribe to Comments plugins. Many more cool features are built in.
I used to be against paying for themes, but over the last year, I’ve learned that some times dropping a few dollars can really enhance the blogging experience for both you and your readers. The Theme Designers put extensive effort and time into providing the themes and support for users. Putting it in perspective, I’ve just purchased the upgraded template from ThemeForest for Eazy Cheezy, which includes updated features such as a great new footer. With the added functionality, $30 was well worth it for me. If purchasing a WordPress theme isn’t in your budget or interest, there are still countless amazing Free WordPress themes available.
