10 WordPress Themes (You Never Heard Of)
If you’re already a WordPress user, you probably know how hard it is to find good themes. Maybe you’ve even created themes of your own. Either way, throughout this process it’s easy to get lost in a jungle of either wacky looking themes or good themes that are just overused. We’ve searched the Internet over to show you the 10 following themes that you may have never heard of! Let us know in the comments if you liked this post so we can find more. We’ll probably keep looking anyway though. 
1 - Gangway by Perfomancing.com | Download
This 3-column theme can fit ads and other plugins easily. The text is easy to read and the navigation is not hard to follow. Its focus is really on content and this is good for sites with multiple authors.
2 - Minibits by CreativeBits | Download
With its creatively placed publish date and comments boxes, Minibits has a fresh and unique look. The colors are pleasing and remind us of Flickr.
3 - Pecton by Livetr.org | Download
Pecton is a very nice theme with a grayscale feel that you may just want to keep. It would be good for a technology site or even a news blog.
4 - Purple by ThemeLab.com | Download
This theme has a fresh and clean look with good spacing that is easy on the eyes. Because of that reason we think this theme is good for a product reviews site or any site where you really want to make sure your visitors read everything.

Fauna has a fun look and includes both a light and dark theme. Be sure to read the Fauna page for more information.

9- Canvas by FreshPursuits.com | Installation instructions are here.
If you want to try something very different and more personalized, try Canvas which lets you build your theme yourself. It’s one of the most impressive packages out there to customize your theme.
10 - Starkers by ElliotJayStocks.com | Download
Speaking of canvases, if you want to go all out, I’ve saved this next theme for last. Elliot Jay Stocks created a naked theme called Starkers. Naked as in he removed all unnecessary elements and anything non-semantic. He calls it a true clean slate to create your own proper theme. Read about it here.
We’ll discuss more about creating your own themes in our next WordPress post. Perhaps we’ll have “WordPress Wednesday” or something like that. Thoughts?
Note: If you have made any of themes here and would rather link the downloads to your own site, just let us know. One big problem as posts age is that linked files are suddenly not found so we’re trying to avoid that, while also saving your bandwidth.
