5 Customizable WordPress Themes

When building out some of my websites, I generally look for an inexpensive website theme to use, and lately I’ve preferred to use WordPress, as it’s easy to update and add plugins. Sometimes I use the theme completely as is, and other times I hire a freelance programmer to make special customizations for me.

I’ve used ThemeForest.net several times, and the site always seems to have new and interesting themes to use – at relatively reasonable prices (between $15 – $35/each). Many of the themes offered have different color schemes and/or styles from which to choose, giving you more flexibility.

Below are my current 5 favorite customizable WordPress themes:

Thanks, Elliot.

It appears the “live preview” at the first link Agivee is being redirected to mybookface.net.

Great stuff from ThemeForest.

I really like the customized WP theme Wpclassipress.com which you used for DogWalker.com

Very clean and professional looking.

@ Jon

I hesitate to mention it (even though it worked well) because it was HIGHLY modified. My designer/programmer basically just used the core of the template and re-skinned the entire thing.

Hey Elliot,

I’m actually still looking for a calendar theme, wanted to develop a domain name that deals with events and having problems locating a good wp theme, any suggestions would be fantastic.
I tried http://bustatheme.com/wordpress/wp-calendar/ but not able to post future events.

Elliot,

Lowell.com is being designed as a directory site I was referring to an event site.
