11. Mojo Themes
Mojo Themes is basically an open market place for top rated designers and developers who wish to share their skills with the entire globe, or become more competitive. The developers of Mojo Themes wanted to create a go-to-market place for webmasters to buy, and rate high quality themes. On it you can find WordPress Themes, Tumblr Themes, HTML/CSS templates, PSD and Email templates. The unique thing about is that, unlike its competitors, it also offers different templates that cater to the needs of different platforms.
Theme Functionality
As we already said, there are tones of premium templates for some of the most popular platforms (like Tumblr and WordPress). They are very well designed, customizable, and usable even if there are still not too many to chose from. The prices may vary from 12 to 50$, depending on the functionality, design and provider. If you are talented you can even submit your own work on the market, and you will receive a 50% commission for each purchase.

Best Themes
Although there are several plugins and tools that you can download from Mojo Themes, we will only focus on the WordPress Themes that we find awesome:
[highlight color=”black”] AEGEUS – Responsive Theme [/highlight]
[highlight color=”black”] RUSTIK – Minimalist eCommerce Theme [/highlight]
[highlight color=”black”] Breakout – Responsive WP Theme [/highlight]
[highlight color=”black”] 357 – Responsive WordPress Theme [/highlight]

12. Templatic
Templatic was officially launched on 10th December 2009 (approximately four years ago), but it was in business before that under the name of Premium Themes. They changed their name because they wanted something more powerful to represent their brand. At the beginning, Templatic only hav approximately 25 themes, but it has steadily grown into one of the major WP theme providers, with themes ranging from business, and personal to eCommerce integrated themes which can be easily customized according to needs.
Theme Functionality
To be honest, the themes that Templatic has released recently are very buggy. Nevertheless, the company has made it its life mission to release two themes each month, and to have enough themes for every type of website. We appreciate the fact that they have exploited all possible advertising and monetization features, which can be made possible through the control panel that comes with every WP theme. Most themes are correctly coded, and therefore they ensure more potential traffic to your website from a SEO perspective. The bad news is that although most themes are equipped with every possible feature, some of them do not work correctly. So if you want themes with sophisticated coding, you have come to the wrong place.
As far as graphics are concerned, there are plenty of eye catching themes to choose from, but most of them are pretty dull, and focused on a professional look.
Pricing and Plans
Every theme has its own price, but you can purchase a club membership for 299$/year, and with it you can enjoy all the benefits of using unlimited theme licenses. With it you will be able to also access the member’s only forum, where you can have all your questions answered. Truthfully, the price may seem quite high, but at least you will be getting the package deal (a singular theme is quite expensive). You could also purchase three themes for the price of one. See more details on their page.
Customer Support
There are many forums where the founder himself is quite active, so you can get answers from the most knowledgeable person on the team. Sometimes it takes days to reply a simple question. For enquiries that touch on the theme structure and coding, it may never get resolved as they find it too troublesome to fix them. Indeed, they have many unsatisfied customers.

13. Frogs Themes
Frogs Themes may only have 13 themes in its arsenal, but they are really good ones. The company is focused on creating next generation WordPress Themes, which will make building a professional website easier. The business was founded by two eager men: Nick Boldison, who is in charge of customer support and upholding the level of WordPress themes produced, and Gary Hartley, who creates most of the themes.
Theme Functionality:
The themes are super simple to use, and they have been developed with the user in mind. Frogs Themes believes in professional and personable 1-1 support, which you will receive with every subscription. Also, every theme works with the FT Framework, which powers the concept of next-generation themes: they have been cross-browser tested, they are designed to monetize with paid banner advertising and built-in ads. There is a theme for every niche, and because there aren’t many, we will highlight the most beautiful ones:

14. Obox-Design Themes
While relatively new in the industry, Obox-Design is one of the best providers of WP Themes. Just take a look at the customer reviews on ThemeGrade if you don’t believe us. Most of their themes are designed with simplicity and power in mind, and this is the main reason why their themes meet the requirements of business, entertainment, and news sites. The owners of Obox-Design have considerable influence in this niche, so you can be sure that you will be paying for quality.
Theme Functionality
Granted, there may only be 14 Obox-Themes at the moments, but considering that they started out in July 2010, the number is understandable. All themes are compatible with cross-browsers and they are extremely functional → they have a menu management feature where you can organize the menus according to your tastes. There is also a custom logo and comment box feature, a tool for automatic image resizing, and SEO inbuilt features for better ranking on SERPs.
As far as graphics are concerned, the themes are mostly clasically themed, with header images and fonts. The color palette is pretty standard, but the range of shades is impressive. Everything was designed to have good readability, and while we can say that there are more good-looking themes in the industry, the themes for Obox-Design are more than enough for business-minded websites.
The plugins they currently offer are:
Obox Mobile: Creates amobile-friendly version of your website, keeping a theme consistent with the full site design.
Social Commerce: This plugin enables your customers to shop and make purchases directly from your Facebook fan pages.
The Launchpad: While your site is under construction, this plugin allows you to display a customizable countdown to your grand opening, creating early hype and interest in your new web presence. (Source ShopWPThemes)
Customer Support
All instructions for Obox themes can be found on the company’s website, but there is also personal support available through forums, and the answers received are usually useful. The only thing that you might not enjoy is the waiting time.
Pricing and Plans
You can get a standard package with 2 Obox themes for $50. You have no choice, but to buy two even if you want one. The single price is then $25, which is considerably lower than the $75 you can pay for an Press75 theme.
You can also get a blogging theme for id=”mce_marker”5, but it will be missing some important features, such as layered image files and OCMX plug-in. You can get a developer pack with 2 themes for id=”mce_marker”00. If you have $50 more in budget, it is advisable for you to sign-up for their all-in-one package which is priced at id=”mce_marker”50.

15. Theme Labs
Theme Labs may only have 11 themes available at the moment, and not much is known about the company members, but from what we can see, their products perform fairly well for business, eCommerce and blogging websites. As a matter of fact, some consider them “among the best WordPress Theme developers” for creating high-quality, premium WordPress for several years now. Their goal is to create high-quality themes that have a sleek, elegant yet modern and flexible design. Another great thing about them is the fact that they have partnered with other leading WP theme developers like Templatic, Voosh Themes, FrogsTheme and Elegant Themes.
Here’s an interesting testimonial:
I just wanted to write a quick reference for your company. We were so impressed with the quality of the Themes we got to choose from and the customer service was also excellent. We needed to update our Church’s website and your input and beautiful theme have made it look absolutely heavenly.
