Top 5 Free WordPress Themes

Here’s my Top 5 for free downloadable WordPress themes.

1. Arras Theme

Currently definitely my number 1, as you can see. Arras Theme looks and feels incredibly good and might even be classified as a Premium Theme if you ask me.

There are lots of options to run through right in the administration dashboard.

2. WP CODA

This is one of the most beautiful themes you can use for showing of a product or service. WP CODA uses a nice and smooth jQuery navigation system for some extra awesomeness.

There’s a cool example on Panic.com (awesome OSX software developer), on the CandyBar product page.

3. Crafty Cart

A great theme for creating your very own online store! This free theme has very clean colours and is surprisingly easy to navigate. Crafty Cart was designed to go along with the free e-commerce plugin WP E-commerce, so make sure you grab that one as well.
