Top 70 free and premium WordPress themes for 2013

Making a good looking Website has never been easier. There are tons and tons of templates and themes out there waiting for you. If you don’t know how, install WordPress. Using WordPress is really easy and I truly recommend it. After you installed it you’ll need a theme, but look no more. I present you the top 70 free and premium WordPress themes for 2013.

Most of the free themes are from WordPress.org (actually all except one). Installing free themes from other websites is not recommended, most of them contain hidden links, spam your visitors etc. Read why! Still if you decide to do so, install Theme Authenticity checker plugin. I divided the themes into categories, every category featuring ten or five themes. Also next to demo I added “free” to those themes you don’t have to pay for. Enjoy!
