Updated: March 25, 2009

As WordPress continues to grow in popularity, more and more designers are realizing the potential of building WordPress themes.   In addition to the financial benefits, designers can also use WordPress themes to create additional inbound links, improve their reputation as a designer, and of course help generate freelance work.

Because of the huge size of the WordPress theme market, it has become increasingly difficult to find a good way to browse through the available WordPress themes.   Unfortunately I don’t have a solution, but I have spent several hours trying to sort through the available themes and create a gallery to display many of the top designs in both the free and premium WordPress theme markets.  Currently this page has over 150 WordPress themes, plus a few known theme clubs thrown in at the bottom for people that prefer that route.

Due to the size of this post, I have broken the themes contained within this post into 6 categories for easier navigation.  Simply click the link which applies to the type of WordPress theme you are looking for and you’ll be directed directly to that section!

• Blog WordPress Themes
• News/Magazine WordPress Themes
• Small Business WordPress Themes
• Portfolio WordPress Themes
• Video WordPress Themes
• WordPress Theme Clubs

As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the things WordPress Hacks is most known for is our WordPress theme galleries.   Because of this, we have worked really hard to maintain them by both adding new themes as they are released, as well as removing older themes that are either outdated, are no longer available, or are no longer supported by their authors.

One of the most common requests I get via our contact form is to break apart our galleries into more of a niche focused display of WordPress themes.  Because we aim to serve, this post will be the first of a three part series breaking down the premium WordPress themes available.    Next we will be going through our free galleries and looking for more helpful ways to display those as well.

This first WordPress gallery was designed to feature some of the best News and Magazine Premium WordPress themes currently available for purchase.  I included both styles because the lines are kind of blurred between the two and I didn’t want any debate over which category each one falls under.  Themes are not listed in any particular order and I have included any listed features with the theme whenever it was possible.

For a complete list of premium WordPress themes available, check out our premium WordPress themes gallery!

Updated: June 29, 2009!

Over the past year, a new trend has developed where bloggers and small business owners are bypassing paying a web designer a lot of money for a custom theme and instead purchasing a premium WordPress theme for their website or blog. These themes usually feature a much more unique look and more functionality than the free WordPress themes available. Most premium themes (if not all) listed below are widget ready and include a control panel allowing you to setup the theme without touching any code. You’ll also get support directly for the theme author(s) as well!

Magazine and News themes seem to be the most popular premium themes right now, but pretty much all content management system (CMS) themes seem to be selling really well. There is some great work out there, and more and more web designers are releasing premium WordPress themes each day, so I figured this was a good time to put together a premium WordPress theme gallery to help people looking to purchase a unique and highly customizable WordPress theme. In order for this post to maintain its relevance, it is updated regularly with new premium WordPress themes as they are released. When possible, I’ve also provided feature descriptions for the theme or theme framework, as well as links to view and/or purchase the theme from the author.

One of my favorite things about WordPress are the themes that users have access to. Overall, themes are generally broken down into one of three categories: free themes, premium themes, and custom themes. You’ll find free themes littering the blogosphere (especially the good ones), so this can often leave a bad impression when people first visit your blog. This leaves bloggers the option of paying a lot of money for a custom built theme, or purchasing a premium theme for their website that won’t be found very many places.

If you are looking for a content management system (CMS) for your website, the first place I recommend you look is the Premium News WordPress theme. Here is a quick look at the homepage:

And here is a same of a post page:

There are a lot of wonderful things about this theme, but here are a few of my favorites:

• Uses jQuery technology to allow readers to display/hide the posts.
• Built-in Video Player to publish your YouTube easily and seamlessly.
• Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice.
• Widget-ready

This theme also features an Options panel that allows anyone to set the following from their control panel:

• Color Scheme (7 different color schemes are included with the standard package)
• The layout of your homepage
• The amount of posts being displayed on your homepage
• Which categories to display in the highlighted areas of your homepage
• Integrate your Flickr & Feedburner accounts
• Banner Ad Management

If you want to use plugins, the theme supports the following WordPress plugins “out of the box”:

• flickrRSS
• Most Commented
• Popularity Contest

I’ve looked through many of these themes and this is by far the most advanced one I’ve run across yet for WordPress. I recommend you check out Premium News Theme if you are interested in purchasing a professional content management system for your website.

Getting a good design for your blog can be either difficult or expensive if you use most blogging software, but the popular open source software WordPress supports the ability to easily install and use various WordPress themes. As a result, the incredible WordPress community has stepped up and people from all around the world are offering great themes for anyone to use, and most have no cost associated with them.

As this site is dedicated to covering the world surrounding WordPress, I thought it would be a good idea to have a series of theme galleries dedicated to some of the best free and premium WordPress themes available to WordPress users.

In the interest of preserving load times, I have divided our featured themes up and separated them into their own specific posts:

Premium WordPress Theme Galleries:
