Some refers premium themes as themes that have more quality in terms of design, or maybe layouts (magazine, grid, showcase, etc) that differs them from the majority free themes. It’s also fair to label them as themes that allows you to do more customization, or even displays content in a different formats. Most premium wordpress themes are paid themes, that means you’ll only get to see a demo unless you are ready pay for it.
However let’s not put an equation between premium wordpress themes and paid themes. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against paid premium themes. It’s just that you should also be aware of some of the cool premium themes out there that are nicely done, and the best part – free. Here’s a showcase of 16 free wordpress premium themes that’s definitely worth a look. 3 themes upfront, full list after jump.

Thanks for the mention.
ReplySumesh March 12th, 2008
Nice list, and WP Premier Red is my personal favourite.
What’s with adding Grid Focus etc. on this list? They’re not magazine-style, elegant or have extra features.
ReplyGeorge March 12th, 2008
I’ve found more or less the same WP themes about a week ago at http://www.visual-blast.com/wordpress/10-free-magazine-style-wordpress-themes-to-choose-from , except WP Premium and SCC Gallery, and CSS Gallery is what I need :)

Sumesh: Personal perspective, I thought they are few of the 3column themes that are nicely done.

It would be very tough to find a WordPress theme in your collection that would suck! They are very nice professional themes that give the end user something to work with.
I also design WordPress themes and started releasing them to the public this year. I design and my coder codes most of them and they are pretty nice themes, in my opinion.

The best Wordpress theme I know so far are the Revolution Themes by Brian Gardner. I’ve been shifting from one theme to another for over 2 months now until I stumble upon this awesome theme – the Revolution Music. I find it very professional, modern and stylish. The more appealing part is the ease in customizing/tweaking it, great support and best of all it’s Free! Have a peek of my site at Proud To Be Pinoy.
