If you blog online and your preferred cms is wordpress, then I have some exciting freebies for you. I have the latest collection of free wordpress themes for you from the top wordpress designers online.
A general misconception is that free wordpress themes are usually of low quality and lack the same functionality you will get from a premium wordpress theme. I have worked with many themes in the past and I have come across some many themes that should definitely and would easily pass for a premium theme and yet they are free. You might not get the level of support you will receive had it been a premium theme but you are getting a free theme, don’t complain!
Below is a complete list of the latest free wordpress themes I found online for the early part of 2013
Bigg – Free WordPress Responsive Child Theme for Genesis
This is the first wordpress theme from the talented Ian Nuttal at www.iannuttall.co.uk. The theme takes it’s inspiration from the new digg layout. I was one of the early birds to test drive this theme and I can say it is very fast! This owns down to the powerful genesis framework and Ian not making using of clutter codes in his design.
