Plenty of web designs are available on the site of http://www.wordpress.org, which are free to use. The site presentations and layouts utilize “themes” which make it quite simple to change it appearance and aesthetics.

Normally any theme can be used for the creation of static Wordpress websites, but a difference lies when there is a need to build a website using a “Wordpress Magazine Style” theme. It is important to keep in mind the change you have to make when following the Magazine Style theme (i.e. you use posts to fill your site with content instead of pages).
