Wordpress Theme Clubs and Shops

Since Ive been focussing on Joomla template design and development Ive had my head in the sand so to speak in regards to Wordpress clubs and theme shops. Of course there are some big names that most people will probably already know about – such as woothemes. But I was surprised to find that there are probably the same number of clubs catering to the wordpress platform as there are for Joomla. In my mind, Jooma has always been renowned for the diversity in its commercial template offerings while wordpress for the sheer number of professional free wordpress themes available.

Its also interesting to note that there are also some high profile Joomla template clubs such as Rocket Theme, Joomla Junkie (aka Prothemer) and Joomla Praise who have made the leap (or are about to make the leap) into designing and coding for wordpress. In my search I couldnt find anyone that started with designing for wordpress and then moved to Joomla – but Im sure they are out there.

This post offers an incomplete list of wordpress theme and template clubs offering commercial themes for your website.

If you know of any others that havent made the list please let me know and Ill add them to the list.
