Excellent Free WordPress Themes

Looking for a great, fresh, free WordPress theme?

You probably already know to check the WordPress main site for WordPress themes. You can search there for new themes or check for themes using any criteria you want, such as color, number of columns, width or almost anything you want.

For a quick start you could look through the most popular WordPress themes to see which ones everyone else is using and go from there.

But you may want to do more than that. There are a few sites I always check when a client calls wanting a new website.

Most of these should be free (check the fine print) and some may work better or smoother than others, but if nothing else they can give you some ideas of what is out there and what we can do to create your new website!
