Premium Wordpress Themes That Are Worth It


06.23.08 Posted in Design, Wordpress by jdmacor

Nowadays, in order to get yourself a decent Wordpress theme, it seems like you need to pay for it. And some of these premiums will cost you a pretty penny. But besides alliteration, what advantage do they have? Well, I am glad you asked. I plan on answering that as well as showing my picks for the creme of the crop.

Why Pay For Wordpress Themes?

This is in fact the million dollar question. With such a vibrant theme making community within Wordpress (including my very own creations), why should anyone bother paying? Well, the answer lies in market forces. When there is proper incentive like a price, more times than not, the end product will be of higher quality. Now, this is not always true and in some cases there are superior free themes (something I may have to post about later…). But my point is that you usually get what you pay for. Not only are you buying a better designed theme, but you usually also get support, free updates, and sometimes even the original PSD’s for your editing pleasure. So without further ado, lets get to the themes.

The Best Premium Wordpress Themes

Polaroid Press $49

 

Quommunication Video $39

 

Portfolio Press $49

 

Omni $80

 

Blubs $49

 

Magazine News $49

 

Mimbo Pro $90

 

Fresh News $100

 

The Market Theme $55

Would you consider using a premium theme? Are they even worth the premium to you?

  7. I am real fan of this theme ….. thanks a lot

  8. icaupssr says:

    nice theme..all of them are quite good.

  9. With so many free (and excellent) wordpress themes one has to ask himself if it is really worth it to pay for a premium theme… besides there are so many premium themes too that is as hard to decide as it is to chose from free templates… Having said that, I thing the StudioPress premium templates are a step ahead… just google them to find out more.

  10. I found a cool free wordpress blog them. I wish I know how to make my own but I don’t so I want to use one from topwpthemes.com but I cant figure out how to upload it to my blog I am building on word press. Can you help me?

  11. I’ve used both Portfolio Press and Blubs, and have largely been happy with both themes.

  12. buat blog says:

    theme premium? mmmm… i like free

  13. celebrities says:

    Some day I will use this wp theme for my free blog, good list

  14. I have been thinking of singing up for WOO themes someday or I may just try their free one they offer first.

  15. Imprezy says:

    Nice themes! I must try it.

  16. likepr says:

    Hello!
    It would be great if they also implemented this in schools around the globe as well!
    Great post!

  17. Buy PSP Go says:

    These are good, but now they have Premium ‘clubs’ were you pay a fee to join then get access to loads of amazing themes.

    Pre Order PSP Go
    Buy PSP Go

  18. Peter Urne says:

    The experience and the story is certainly a major factor now in items.
    Good one!

  19. MP3 tunes says:

    I am ready to pay for quality, but more recently seen in our own experience that expensive does not mean quality!

  20. countertops says:

    Thank for review, Omni theme not bad.

  21. i guess it must be free, but no free in this world

  22. Gberstange says:

    Very nice site, I like it!

  23. I am a wordpress user. I will scan this list first before deciding.

  24. On one of my blogs I use Omni. Very good theme
    bye

  25. And in free theme you can receive commercial add that will spoil you? site

  26. Keith Davis says:

    The problem with most free themes is that you don’t get much documentation or support. If you have to spend hours getting your free theme to work… it’s not really free.

    I’ve just signed up with “Elegant Themes” where I get some great themes at a reasonable price and I get support.

    I’d go for a premium theme every time… it’s cheaper in the long run.

  27. teknoloji says:

    thanks very good themes

  28. Mp3 forum says:

    very nice, like your alexa :p

  29. Bursa says:

    clupmania iN Bursa..!

  34. justin tv says:

    thank you very much admin.

  35. Mp3 tunes says:

    I bought myself one of these theme, and very pleased with it

  36. ezel says:

    thanks..my friend…

  37. Yes! And in free theme you can receive commercial add that will spoil you? site

  38. Geld Lenen says:

    In my opinion if you know you’re way around the web there some great free themes you can use. But if you’re new to Wordpress I would advice to buy a Premium Theme so you get some support, the PSD files and quality for your money

  39. I have noticed that most blogs use similar/same themes. So finding the right unique wordpress theme will take quite some time and thorough searching.
    Good Luck
