The WordPress Themes Directory is a truly fantastic resource, offering thousands of themes for download at no cost.

However, the sheer volume of themes contributes to the repository’s less user-friendly side. Of those thousands of themes, many will not be up to the standard you require. And with somewhat limited search and filtering tools, it can be extremely difficult to find the right theme for your WordPress website.

Fortunately, that’s where this resource come in. We’ve taken the time (a long time!) to trawl through the directory and carefully selected what we consider to be the best 100 free WordPress themes available. So rather than settling in for the long haul on WordPress.org, take a few minutes out of your day to peruse the 100 best free themes you’ll find right here.

Of course, this list is completely subjective. If you’ve come across a theme that hasn’t been included, do let us know in the comments.
