Free WordPress Themes
1. Point
Point theme is in the row of awesome FREE WordPress themes for a magazine or a blog as it is one of the most popular themes by premium WordPress themes shop – MyThemeShop.
Talking about the uniqueness, its menu bar, and logo placement is the main point of attraction, and you can easily configure it. The second line after the menu label lets you add more information about the link.
As it is a narrow width WordPress theme and a boxed layout which is almost very nice to be the attire of a professional blog. Header banner ads and a call to action button along with it can help you gather some more traffic and keep the user on your site.
2. Firmness
Firmness is the latest FREE WordPress theme for WordPress users, and it seems to be pretty nice in the demo. Even if the wrapper is boxed, you may find the whole site’s background in full width.
The homepage can hold not only your latest post archive but also a header slider, services row, your portfolio and contact information in the header right corner.
Flat but elegant and graphically eye-catching theme is fantastic as it is well coded for SEO too.
Talking about the design specs, the narrow sidebar is there so that you can put attractive long skyscrapers here. Furthermore, it is much more than just a standard blogging template with a header, Navigation, posts, sidebar, and footer.
3. Colormag
A beautifully designed WordPress theme with over 70k active installs proves itself to be the blogging master.
All necessary features and perks of a modern magazine style WordPress theme in a blogging template are there.
4. Hueman
If you need ultimacy of customization options and a maximum extent of SEO optimization, going with a Hueman WordPress theme is always the best choice. I have been visiting many websites using that theme.
Apart from being a clean coded template, it is fast loading and social media ready as well. I won’t stay away from bringing that fact into light that Hueman stands as the only FREE WordPress theme with a such lot of customization options.
Some quick features of the theme are
Multiple options for sidebars
Dedicated posts customization
Typography options to change the sitewide font
Dynamic CSS
Colors, sidebars, footer and advertisement widgets
Those 5 star ratings on wordpress.org can not be wrong. Period.
5. Sparkling
If your blog is cutting a sorry figure on your readers, maybe you’re playing fouls on your website’s design. I am wondering How come I can describe this theme in a nutshell.
It is simple, easy to navigate and classy. A header, menu inside the header, posts, sidebar, and footer – how simple is the layout!
In spite of being a very simple theme, it is a fantastic design template to present your writings with.
6. Islemag
A beautiful creation of themeisle team. I think It is a boom in a small packet. All features of a magazine WordPress theme are there inside the code, and the FREE theme is powerful enough to attract your readers and force them to visit again.
It is easy to set the website up with this theme as it is very lightweight and aesthetically subtle where most of the advanced features are inbuilt which means you won’t need any other plugin for the same functions like social media icon widget.
The purposefully coded theme has amazing support for themeisle plugins like product reviews lite and revives an old post.
7. Iconic One
Iconic One is a minimalist WordPress theme that is competent from the SEO point of view as well. It not only gives a professional touch to your simple blog but also supercharges its speed and SEO score with its massively powerful code, proving the 50k websites using this theme.
8. Wisteria
Have you been wondering about a FREE Genesis child theme? Forget that because you’ll need a Genesis framework for uploading a child theme of the same.
But you’ve got Wisteria which resembles the News Pro theme of Genesis.
9. MH Magazine lite
Niche sites and PBNs are rocking on this theme. I have been testing its SEO compatibility and am very excited to tell you that it is a 100% responsive and ads ready WordPress theme featured with a homepage slider, ads widgets and much more. More than that, the theme is developed with flat design CSS and lightweight JS.
10. Olsen Light
Especially when you’re a fashion blogger and hating the themes above, you would like to get something that’s girly and FREE. Olsen Light is that kind of WordPress theme that lets you write continuously. It is a real content-focused theme. I first thought the fashionista WordPress theme attracts me to add it to the list be the best 10 are already spotted.
Hope you enjoyed the list and found the perfect Free WordPress Themes for your blog.
All the WordPress themes are awesome and of course very useful too. Thanks for sharing.
I also want to suggest one more beautiful WordPress theme ‘Probit’. You can use it for your blogging, showcasing a portfolio or business websites. It’s free responsive WordPress theme that generously provides more functionality and excellent support. This theme has bristled with pixel perfect design, custom page templates, 3 different blog templates and lots of other great features.
