19 Mindblowing Premium-Like Free WordPress Themes

Looking for the best premium-like free WordPress themes?

There are plenty of beautiful free themes that are just as good as paid-for premium themes. You don’t have to pay anything at all to get a powerful, good-looking theme for your site.

In this article, we will share some truly mindblowing premium-like free WordPress themes.

Mindblowing Premium-Like Free WordPress Themes

Build a Premium-Like Website with Free WordPress Themes

WordPress is the most popular website builder on the market, and it’s free. There are 2 types of WordPress: WordPress.com, which is a hosted solution, and WordPress.org, which is a self-hosted platform.

Take a look at our complete guide on WordPress.com vs WordPress.org for more details.

You need to use WordPress.org, which is free. It has all the flexibility you need, and lets you add themes and plugins to your website.

Before you start, you will also need to purchase a domain name and web hosting. A domain name is your site’s address on the web, like wpbeginner.com. Web hosting is where all your website files are stored.

We recommend using Bluehost. They are one of the most popular web hosting providers and an official WordPress hosting partner.

For WPBeginner users, Bluehost offers a free domain name, free SSL certificate, and a huge discount on web hosting. That means you can get started so cheaply that it’s almost as good as free.

After signing up for hosting, check out our complete step by step guide on how to make a website.

      Please Tell us which one is not free, so we can remove it from the list. While writing, we made sure that all were free. Some had premium version of the theme and the free version with lesser features, but nonetheless they were all free.
