20+ Eye-Catching WordPress Business Themes For Fussy Clients
Finding the ideal theme for a business website can be tricky.
There are countless themes available that market themselves as business themes, making it easy to just download the first one that looks about right so you can get on with setting it up. However, this is the quickest way to waste time and money.
Before setting out to find a theme, it’s important to work out what you need and even make a list of your requirements. If you’re setting up a website for a client who works in food and hospitality, you may need a website that offers online reservations. Hair salons may need a booking system, while online stores will need an eCommerce solution. For small business clients and consultants, their needs will be completely different.
The collection of themes below includes various themes designed especially for businesses, each offering different functionality such as booking forms, event managers, typography management, custom post types, and sliders.
BeTheme
Overwhelmingly customizeable is the only way I can describe this responsive theme. There are 41 demos on BeTheme’s ThemeForest page that demonstrate how to configure this theme for a huge range of different businesses.
There is also a huge number of features, including 200 shortcodes for adding functionality like infographics, boxes, content elements and blocks, loops and typography to your site. Demo content is included so you can set up the theme to look just like the example sites.
Other features include masonry portfolio, bbPress compatibility, the ability to add a left menu, grid layouts, header layouts, sliding widgetized top area, parallax effect and video background, one pager layout option, custom font uploader, maintenance mode and blank page, custom widgets, and 18 PSD files with UI kit included.
ROSA
ROSA is a gorgeous restaurant theme, but of course you can customize the images to match any kind of business.
When you first load the demo theme, the smooth parallax scrolling and typography grab your attention. If you do want to use this theme for a hospitality business, there are some great features like shortcodes for product menus, and the ability to take reservations using the OpenTable system.
Another nice features is a live customize that lets you change the fonts, colors or layout sizes and preview those changes live. There’s also an extensive options panel and this theme comes translation ready.
If you like the demo content, there’s a one-click demo install option.
Avada
It would be remiss of me not to include Avada, the best selling theme of all time on ThemeForest.
