Theme Forest is a fantastic resource for professional affordable WordPress Themes.
Most are only $25 US. They also have HTML templates, themes for Joomla, Flash Sites and Photoshop templates.
I recently purchased the WordPress Theme Evolution for one of my other WordPress sites. I’ll make some tweaks and provide a link to it when it is up and running.
Update
I used the Evolution theme for a couple of weeks – but returned to using the Thesis Theme when drop down nav menus were added to Thesis Theme version 1.6b (beta). I also missed being able to customize the look of my site more.
However, if you are not very code savvy (I’ve spent about a year learning the basics and can hack my way throught) and you want a WordPress theme that plugs-and-plays and looks great, then I recommend the Evolution Theme. It’s great value for $25.
Read Thesis Theme Version 1.6b is Beautiful on Tranquility HQ to see some screenshots and a review of the Evolution Theme in action.
One of my other favourite Theme Forest themes for WordPress was Noctis - screenshot below. If you are on the lookout for a great theme that won’t break the bank – check them out.

The theme really looks good. I think I can use this too.
Thanks,

There are many talented designers out there that choose to provide WordPress themes for free. Most of the time, the only small favor they ask you is that you attribute the design to them and link back to their site (a very reasonable request).
the collection here excellent, high-quality, free WordPress themes. These themes range from being elaborate and colorful to being clean and simple so that you may find one that suits your design tastes.isn’t the case what you are trying to post over here?
anyways thanks for the exotic Wordpress themes!
Good site !Please visit my website.http://top-funny-youtube-videos.blogspot.com/
Great theme thanks!
I am actually choosing between thesis theme and ultimate blogging theme, but I think thesis would give me more flexibility. I always go for the premium themes especially if I would be blogging for the long term as it guarantees support and flexibility especially for me who’s not a designer.
Aagghh. The Ultimate blogging theme only gives you 6 months of updates!
Thesis Theme gives you lifetime updates and lifetime support for no extra $. It has a huge user base and a fantastic forum. I knew nothing about wordpress and coding when I got online and started using Thesis Theme and I managed just fine. You don’t have to make your site amazing from the get go. After your content is ranking superbly with great built-in SEO – you can make any number of customizations for a truly unique site with copy and pasting from hundreds of tutorials, forum postings and free help from other designers. Check out http://www.thesisgallery.com to see the hundreds of different variations of Thesis Theme.
I once used the thesis theme and i liked it cos it has many features and gives us freedom to change a lot of things. But for a novice to make the thesis theme look really nice is a bit tough, i would suggest the Options theme to everyone, but problem is that it stopped updating. If you want to play with wp themes then surely go for thesis.
I agree with you that Thesis has a learning curve however there are many resources to help you learn. Thesis’ constant updates and improvements beat most themes hands down. It has a user community close to 50,000 and growing which puts a lot of pressure on developers to maintain their game, and they have.
Learning a new theme takes a little bit of work – like buying a new car and getting used to where the petrol cap release is, when to change gears according to revs, etc. Thesis only has 2 files to get to know unlike many other themes that require changes to be made to multiple files and often each time you upgrade the theme you have to do them again.
Wherever I go the Thesis theme pops up. Many web marketers use it, and absolutely swear by it. It is the single most popular WordPress theme that I am aware of. There are loads more putting their hands up, with WooThemes in particular having some awesome themes, with loads more in the pipeline.
