25 Fresh, Clean and Unique WordPress Themes

January 25, 2010 by Paul Andrew Templates, Web Design, Wordpress

Lets be honest, when you look at the volume of WP themes that are available, there is not really that much originality. They are basically they same theme re-hashed in a different style. That maybe fine for some, but not for me.

I look for all of those individual elements that add up to something original and unique, something that sets the theme apart from the rest. Perhaps that is why I am always drawn to a minimal theme, where the elements and the unique functions are obvious, and the developers skills are clearly evident.

Anyway, for this article, I have collected 25 fresh WordPress themes that I think set themselves apart from the rest, purely for there uniqueness.
Near the bottom of the post you will find the minimal themes that I love so much, and you will also find, for the WordPress purists, a theme that is a combination of the legendary themes Unsleepable and K2 called Unwakeable.

  I agree with you. It seems like most of the wordpress themes out there have been redone over and over again. Thanks for the rare great ones.

I love the ‘dailynote’ theme. It’s something that’s unique and I’ve not seen it used on any other blog. One I’m bookmarking for later ;)

These WP themes are amazing. I love how minimalist some of them are. I’d definitely be contacting some of the designers to see if they’re open to custom web design.

Very interesting one year later and some of those wordpress themes are still very popular and used around the internet, I guess if you make amazing design it will last for long time,
