Good Premium WordPress Theme Sites - Virtual Assistant Forums

#1 (**permalink**) 07-28-2011

I am would love to hear what sites have you used to find good WordPress themes. I am looking for premium themes where I can install and start creating with a minimal amount of coding. I have bought themes from Woothemes and do like it but would like to hear about other VAs experiences.

Thank you,
Shannon

I second Linda's ThemeForest suggestion - huge selection and some really beautiful work.

I've used a free theme from www.designdisease.com called "Dilectio" - gorgeous. Agree with Linda's ThemeForest suggestion as well. I thought www.templatic.com had some wonderful templates, too.

I am using Themeforest now for a project but it can be a bit techy and support is good but difficult to search for a specific answer.

My suggestion is to start with ElegantThemes as I find these themes to be less-techy and the support to be better searchable in the forum.

You can also look at Headway (affiliate) - It's a blank slate with some amazing features and knowing code isn't necessary. You could also look at iThemes (affiliate) - they have great support and their Builder theme is the foundation for most of their child themes, which help with the look. There's also, StudioPress, which is pretty good. Presswork (which is free) it's a framework that you can build on (with out doing code).

All of the other sites mentioned are great as well.

I have to agree with Janine on the techy aspect of Themeforest; certainly true for the theme I chose. If you have time to play and figure things out I think it's worth the effort, but if you need something more straightforward then you might want to opt for one of the other suggestions.

Thank you all for your references. I checked them all out and after quite a few hours of looking through tons of themes and researching I went with ElegantThemes. I have to say, I am very impressed. Great customizable themes at aI n AMAZING price. Pretty decent forums have helped with a few adjustments I am having to make.

I was also impressed with Headway. Very cool concept. I might try this in the future but at this time the costs was a bit prohibitive but I can see where it would be great to build websites for clients.

Again... thank you for the support.
