The WordPress theme market is at an all time high, with rough estimates suggesting a market size of over $50 million in yearly revenues. This isn’t all that surprising when you look at the stats for the blogging focused CMS. The most recent figures suggest that up to 25% of all new websites are powered by WordPress, and with a quick glance at the stats from builtwith.com, showing around 13% of top websites and 23% of the most popular by traffic are built on top of WordPress, it’s not hard to believe.
Pingdom has also found that over 48% of the top 100 technorati blogs are running on WordPress! The rich theme ecosystem of WordPress is undoubtedly one of it’s main selling points. Choose from thousands of professionally developed and designed themes both free and paid to give instant credibility to your website. We’ve compiled the most comprehensive list of theme providers currently out there. We’ve limited this to GPL compliant paid theme providers to help weed out the often badly developed free themes, whilst there’s nothing wrong with free themes they are often less trustworthy than their paid alternatives.
