25 New & Free Responsive WordPress Themes

”WordPress.com is the only service of its kind that not only lets you export your data, but gives you an open source package you can run on pretty much any web host out there to run your own instance of the software. So the freedom is really in your hands.” – Matt Mullenweg

WordPress is like the gift that keeps on giving. Currently the 18th largest website in the world, housing a staggering 60 million websites, WordPress is showing no signs of slowing down whatsoever.

As of August 2013, 18.9% of the top 10 million websites use WordPress, cementing it as the number one blogging system in use, and it really is plain to see for anyone why this is the case.

WordPress is insanely customizable and very user-friendly, and that is why, whether you are a professional web designer, someone who is just learning the basics, or even someone who has not the faintest idea about what web design is, you can still use WordPress to create your own, unique website.

An important part of building a website fast is using the right template for the job, which can be pretty hard, seeing as you can’t drop a pin for how many WordPress templates there are out there. To give you a helping hand, we have made yet another list of gorgeous WordPress themes for you tuse use in your projects.

We get to see flat design at its very best in this theme. The design is simple, intuitive and minimalistic, with aesthetic being dictated by functionality and practicality.

This is a theme that really looks smart, and in touch with the present, but in a very old-school kind of way. It might just be because it’s called Hemingway, but this theme really has personality to it, with its brilliant header section, great logo and beautiful typography. This is definitely the template to use when making a no none-sense literary blog.

5. Typal
