Wordpress themes for small business websites?

June 7, 2009 7:51 PM

What are some good Wordpress themes to build a small business website?

I'm looking for some clean, well-designed, and free, or very low cost Wordpress themes that will give me a good starting point to build some small business websites. I'm most interested in one or two column designs. I don't plan to use the blog feature.

I bookmarked Vigilance a while back (which I probably stymbled across in one of Ceri's omnibus links at some point, actually). Seemed decent enough as a starting point.

You might also be interested in a framework like Thematic.

A Theme framework might be a good bet. Smashing Magazine lists a few. I've used Thesis (which I think works better for a standard blog), and Thematic. I really liked Thematic, and will probably use it on a few other projects soon. I'm also keen to try out the Hybrid Theme.

You could also buy one of the "all themes" packages from somewhere like StudioPress or iThemes.
