Themeshaker is a web application for WordPress theme search that simplifies the process of selecting a WP theme, guiding the seeker through attractive options with minimal effort and efficient filters. Find premium WordPress themes without paying a fortune. Adds CEO Paulius Rasytinis, “WordPress has almost become too popular. New WordPress users would find it very difficult to get the site they really wanted. We hope to change all that by presenting a targeted portal to filter down the most beautiful themes to deliver exactly what you are looking for. And we do it fast.”
Search for themes appropriate to your project by category, style, or layout. Depending on your aim–blog, e-commerce site, web hosting, or other type of business–there is a great variety of themes to choose from. Stylistically, there are options to match the minimalist or more flamboyant palate. Layout choices offer a similar, wide range.
You can also choose by price, but at the moment, there’s only one free template, so this will only carry you so far. Themes run from $29-$85, though most fall in the $35-$45 price range. Rasytinis assures that more themes will continuously become available. For someone looking to start an online venture without design skills, these themes will take the entrepreneur a long way toward having a viable, appealing website.
