Best Premium WordPress Themes Marketplace | Where to Buy Templates

The awards for the Best Premium WordPress Themes Marketplace goes to… oooohhhh… keep reading to find out!

The market is evolving fast and nowadays you do have options when you buy wordpress templates. Unfortunately though, most of these options are kind of… hidden. Yeah, let’s face it, the big cookies usually dominate the scene, leaving other smaller but still valuable alternatives by the wayside.

Our Awards for this year are:

Best of the Best Award, Best Value for Money Award, Best Innovative Product Award and BOA’s Pick Award.

Best of The Best Award

The award goes to StudioPress, for their incredibly high quality premium WordPress themes, the solidity of their framework and the consistency of their support. I have personally tried dozens of themes, and honestly it’s hard to find others that come close to StudioPress. Sure, there are many other marketplaces that provide much fancier themes than StudioPress’ ones, but you’ll rarely find stronger themes than those based on the highly customizable Genesis framework. All Genesis themes have a pretty simple look and you won’t find complicated admin panels on the backend, but they do have all you need to build an awesome WordPress site.

 Best Value for Money Award

This was harder to choose. In a competitive race to get your attention, most high quality premium WordPress template creators are offering incredibly cheap prices for superb themes. Some of these premium cheap WordPress marketplaces are ThemeJunkie, CSSigniter, OrganizedThemes, ColorLabs, ThemesKingdom, TeslaThemes, Authentic Themes. But our Best Value for Money Award for the Best Premium WordPress Themes Marketplace category goes to ElegantThemes.

ElegantThemes offers a ridiculous amount of awesome themes for one of the lowest prices in the industry.

Best Innovative Product Award

The Best Innovative Product Award for the Best WordPress Themes MarketPlace category goes to DIYthemes and the reason for this is simple: this website sells 1 theme, that can be customized to become basically anything. There are other marketplaces like Audiotheme, BizzThemes or HermesThemes that have also been innovative in specializing in a defined niche, but DIYthemes was one of the most brilliant (business) ideas and therefore we chose it as a winner. Congratulation DIYthemes!

BOA’s Pick Award

Our BOA’s Pick Award for the Best Premium WordPress Themes Marketplace goes to OrganizedThemes. Besides the refined quality of their themes and the affordable price tag, OrganizedThemes offers fast, professional and friendly support (we have tested it first-hand). Congratulation Bill!

Other Nominees

Here are some other nominees for the Best Premium WordPress Themes MarketPlace that need to be mentioned, starting from the very close runner-up: ThemeForest.

ThemeForest

Who doesn’t know ThemeForest? A colossal giant of the internet with thousands of WordPress themes and plugins. One of the best things about ThemeForest is the huge variety of templates they offer created by web developers from all around the world.

 

Rockettheme

One of the most unique features of Rockettheme is that they also sell Joomla, Magento and PhpBB3 templates.

 WpZoom

On WpZoom you can buy WordPress themes and templates for business, magazine, news, portfolio and multimedia websites. Most of their premium WP themes are responsive and some of them are free too!

VivaThemes

The thing I like the most about VivaThemes is the cleanliness of their themes. They all look highly professional, neat and sleek. Take a look at what they have to offer!

UfoThemes

I don’t know how they decided on this extra-terrestrial name… but UfoThemes features a great variety of premium WordPress themes for entrepreneurs, artists, bloggers and more. Some of the best are Titania and Eldorado.

Themify

They scream it on the home page, because it counts. Don’t want to mess up with code? Here they are: drag and drop WordPress themes. No more excuses for not having a great website!

ThemesKingdom

ThemesKingdom is another marketplace on the rise. Trusted by more than 50,000 people worldwide, on this website you can buy premium WordPress themes for any niche. Great choice for (online) business owners and web developers alike.

ThemeShift

These guys have been around for about 4-5 years now and their themes are getting better and better. Some of my favorites are “decorum” and “deposito” (great for portfolio websites).

PremiumPress

PremiumPress is a unique marketplace. On their website you can buy WordPress templates that are rare to find, like directories themes for example. Some of their themes are more expensive than average, but it’s also true that in this case you get what you pay for.

ThemeFuse

ThemeFuse offers a wide collection of WordPress templates at affordable prices. You can choose to buy individual themes or to get them all for a low monthly rate.

TeslaThemes

Tesla themes are based on the Tesla framework, which allows you to customize your site without any knowledge of coding. Some of their templates are among the best ecommerce WordPress themes.

Templatica

Every month, Templatica delivers two new child themes. So if you decide to buy WordPress themes from them you’ll never run out of alternatives when expanding your online presence or serving new demanding clients.

Solostream

On Solostream‘s website you’ll find both free and premium WordPress themes. The difference between them is huge. The free themes look very old, while the premium ones are top-notch quality, feature-rich and awesome-looking. Take a look!

Photocrati

Photocrati specializes in WordPress photography themes. If you are a photographer or looking for a portfolio template, click here right now and check their themes before buying anything else.

OboxThemes

On Obox‘s website you can buy wordpress themes and plugins. After clicking on the yellow button (see screenshot) you can filter your results by type of use and find the best themes to fit your specific needs and preferences. Very nice.

InkThemes

InkThemes promotes itself as a 1 click-ready theme provider. What does that mean? Basically they’ll let you import the sample content you see in their demos, so that you can take your website from there. They are not the only people that do this, but they are smart enough to market it.

HermesThemes

Ok, here is something different: WordPress themes for hotels! If you own a hotel, or your client owns one (I guess if you own a hotel you would have enough money to hire a developer!) this is the place to look.

GabFire

With an international staff of developers across the USA and Europe, GabFire offers a large range of themes, as well as customization services.

FrogsThemes

High quality premium WordPress themes in every possible niche, featuring the FT framework and tons of possibilities. Some of the most unique themes are 365pro and agency pro.

CSSigniter

On CSSigniter you can buy SEO ready, easy to set up premium WordPress themes at a cheap price. In fact their themes are among the cheapest WordPress templates on the market, but the quality is incredibly high.

CPOthemes

CPOthemes are responsive, extensible, SEO optimized and easy to install. This marketplace is growing fast and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it win one of our awards next year.

ColorLabs

Whatever your WordPress needs are, Colorlabs has got you covered. You can buy App Themes, Framework Themes and Regular Themes for a one-off fee.

CobaltApps

Some of you might think that Dynamik shouldn’t be here, that it’s a plugin and not a theme… But well, it’s both. With Dynamik website builder you can easily customize any StudioPress child theme without touching a line of code. They offer incredible customer service and useful tutorials. StudioPress + Dynamik = A winner!

ThemeJug

Not your average website templates. On ThemeJug you can buy WordPress themes that have personality. They are designed for creative minds and for those looking for some of the best photography premium WordPress themes.

CloverThemes

CloverThemes offers a variety of premium WordPress themes for magazines, restaurant, news and business websites.

BluChic

One of the best places to buy feminine premium WordPress themes is BluChic. Soft colors, clean layouts but prices slightly higher than average. BluChic delivers.

BizzThemes

Another niche-specific WordPress marketplace. On BizzThemes you can buy business themes that are easy to edit, flexible and SEO ready.

AuthenticThemes

The first impression when visiting AuthenticThemes is the simplicity and minimalism of their website. The focus is on their premium WordPress Themes that come in abundance and with stylish designs. See if they have what you’re after.

Gorilla Themes have also been around for quite a while. Some of their themes look a bit old, but they do have some hidden gems in their listing. Seek and you shall find!
