So, if you're with me, let's get to it and take a look at the 20 best WordPress themes
for business.
In 1st place we have Javelin with 9/10.
Javelin is a multipurpose WordPress theme with over 40 full website demos mostly geared
for different types of businesses from creative startups to dentistry practices to more corporate
online ventures.
For a smaller library, Javelin nevertheless presents some superb templates with varied
designs.
However, even their more novel themes are still adaptable and easy to customize to your
niche with a few generic themes thrown in for good measure.
Javelin also comes with the excellent WP Bakery to build out your website pages.
Although Javelin doesn't feature the biggest collection of header styles, layouts or other
elements, all the basics are accounted for and feels well thought out and designed.
For example, we love the fading and loading animations built into the blog, portfolio
and store layouts.
The mobile responsiveness seems similarly well-made and provides an excellent user experience.
The only slight downside is the average mobile page load speeds while the desktop loading
time is among the best.
No wonder it's the best WordPress theme for business.
In 2nd place is TheGem with 9/10.
TheGem is another not to be overlooked multipurpose business theme with almost 100 immaculately
designed full websites and over 25 business-specific demos.
From construction to cryptocurrency startups to logistics, TheGem has it all.
TheGem's demos really stand out for their sheer quality, awesome designs and variety
of styles.
TheGem also shines when it comes to versatile headers, top menu bars, with 20 over built
in options plus diverse layouts, not to mention over 60 content elements with over 250 different
styles.
It also features advanced shopping tools with size charts, previews and policy or terms
elements.
You can further customize your theme with handy short codes and the WP Bakery page builder,
which is included for free.
TheGem also has superb mobile responsiveness with pages that feel tailor-made for smaller
screens.
To top it off, it's also among the best when it comes to page load times.
Rounding out the top 3 is Ultra, also with 9/10.
Ultra is Themify's flagship multipurpose WordPress theme.
Ultra comes with around 30 full demo websites fully loaded with demo content and over 60
page layouts.
A wider range of businesses will be able to find a demo for them with everything from
coffee shops to app developers to law firms accounted for.
Like TheGem, the styling for each demo is unique with different fonts, layouts, colors,
etc.
That being said, they aren't quite as imaginative as some other themes on this list.
One regard in which Ultra shines is when it comes to customizing your header.
There are over 17 header page styles and you also have more options to customize your header
styling without resorting to CSS.
Ultra also features an incredibly powerful page builder that allows you to customize
every inch of every page.
The performance of your theme will depend somewhat on which demo you go with.
However, it ranges from above-average to excellent.
Next up is Divi with 9/10.
Divi features over 100 free full demo websites with over 70 specifically for business.
Each demo is distinct in its appearance, niche and overall design with incredible demo content.
It's one of the most comprehensive themes with a ton of elements like Call to Action
blogs, contact forums, galleries, testimonials and more.
One of Divi’s showstopping features is the Divi page builder.
It's one of the best in terms of balancing customizability and control with an enjoyable
and accessible experience.
The one complaint leveled against Divi is that its headers are too generic and hard
to customize.
Despite being a heavy theme, it scores and excellent 92 for desktop loading time.
Generally, Divi's themes have outstanding mobile responsiveness, although some elements
are too elongated.
In 5th place is Jupiter with 9/10.
This is one massive WordPress theme.
There are over 290 website templates with around 50 business-specific templates and
over 100 blog templates with around 20 header, 20 footer and tons of section templates and
a number of other tools to help you build your website like Elementor, a popup form
and menu builder.
Although you'll find templates with unique designs and layouts, they aren't quite as
attractive or interesting as those of TheGem for example.
The templates are also great for niche businesses, but Jupiter should have included a few more
generic corporate templates which would be easier to customize.
It also features user friendly portfolio, blog and shop layouts, although they could
have more built-in functionality.
An excellent desktop page speed score of 94 plus solid mobile responsiveness rounds off
this strong contender.
Next is Monstroid2 with 9/10.
Monstroid2 is Template Monster's flagship multipurpose WordPress theme and comes loaded
with features, website demos, layouts and more.
In fact, with over 300 full website demos, you shouldn't have any problem finding the
perfect theme for your niche even if your business is a coworking space.
Despite the huge number, the themes are almost all unique and engaging.
There are also more than 1,000 layout pages to mix and match.
With the Jet tricks, Jet tabs and Jet blog plugins, you'll be spoiled for choice when
it comes to customizing elements for your pages.
Monstroid also sticks to its promise of being a lightweight theme despite all its content
as one of the top performers in terms of page loading times.
There's also very little to complain about when it comes to mobile responsiveness, although
it’s not perfect for all their templates.
7th is Infinite with 8/10 Infinite is a multipurpose theme that focuses
on online businesses and e-commerce websites.
With over 30 full demos, there are a good mix of more generic and customizable as well
as niche specific templates.
Some of the more niche-specific templates even cater for nursery homes, transportation
and gardening business.
Style-wise, there isn't really anything to complain about with attractive and modern
designs as well as easy on the eyes animations.
With 54 design elements, 44 prebuilt blogs and 21 header styles, beginners will find
it easy and flexible to start building their site.
Infinite's new V3 page builder is also beginner-friendly, although it's not as powerful as Divi, Ultra
or Elementor.
Unfortunately, Infinite's page load times are average, but the mobile experience is
solid.
Next up is Mitech with 8/10.
Mitech is another WordPress theme aimed specifically at businesses in the IT sector from startups
to agencies to service providers.
Mitech only really has one website demo with various page layouts for home, blog, company,
and even case study pages.
The overall design is professional and versatile with well-structured layouts and legible fonts.
Mitech also comes with a number of premium plugins with useful online business tools
like MailChimp as well as design tools like WP Bakery page builder and the Revolution
Slider.
It also comes with a comprehensive collection of page elements.
Mitech does have a slight disadvantage when it comes to page speed.
That being said, the mobile friendliness of this theme is on point.
Next, we have Webify with 8/10.
Webify is a multipurpose WordPress theme made for Elementor.
With just over 50 fully predesigned layouts and 20 over business-specific demo sites,
it has a solid but not extensive library.
The templates are modern and eye pleasing with a good amount of animations, galleries
and unique graphical elements.
The only downside is that most of the templates aren't very distinctive.
The mobile versions also don't feel quite as well thought out.
With over 20 header styles with mega menus, online store and portfolio layouts, it's got
everything you need to start building and customizing your business website.
On top of built in features, Webify also comes with seven premium plugins like the Slider
Revolution, WP AMP and Ninja Popup plugins, which is great value for money.
Performance is a bit of a two-way street with solid desktop but below-average mobile speeds.
Now we have Avada with 8/10.
Avada comes with over 60 demo sites, although there aren't many corporate or business-specific
designs.
Some of the demos are also not as inspired as they could be, although they are very easy
to use.
There are a huge number of features in terms of adjusting theme options as well as the
Fusion Slider and an engaging footer building tool.
Avada now also comes with a Fusion page builder which is a decent if comparatively simple
page builder with the impressive feature of being able to add some conditional logic to
your pages.
While there isn't much to complain about in terms of mobile responsiveness, mobile page
loading times could be a bit better.
Next in line is Agency with 8/10.
Agency is a straightforward theme that feels tailor-made for agencies in the marketing
or design niche.
The demo website is extremely user-friendly with an uplifting design.
There aren't too many options when it comes to headers, page [unclear 10:33] or page elements,
but it does cover the basics.
Unfortunately, there is no page builder, but the easy to use theme settings allow you to
quickly adjust how your theme looks and functions.
In general, building a website with Agency is a hassle-free process.
There are also handy short codes as well as some header effects like Parallax scrolling
or Zoom Out.
This lightweight theme is the fastest-loading on this list, particularly for mobile devices
with an impressive score of 84 for mobile and 98 for desktop.
Next is Bridge with 8/10.
With over 460 full website demos and over 300 business demos, Bridge has by far the
largest collection of templates on this list.
Naturally, the themes quality will vary and aren't the most stunning on this list but
are easy to use and customize.
You can also choose between a large variety of page layouts for your blog, portfolio,
or store pages as well as 18 different header styles.
Bridge also comes with both Elementor and WP Bakery as well as $100 worth of other WordPress
plugins like the Revolution Slider.
Despite how Bridge shines in other regards, it needs some work when it comes to page loading
times.
However, mobile responsiveness is good to go.
Next up is X Theme with 8/10.
X Theme only comes with around 10 website demos which are mostly aimed at small business
owners with content for law firms, bed and breakfasts, and agencies.
The demos usually aren't the most exciting but are welcoming and easy to use, which is
perfect for small businesses.
X does come with a few unique tools to streamline the website building process like Stacks which
allows you to switch between designs with one click, global templates and content blogs,
a layout tool manager and more.
One of X Theme's strongest features is its 20+ plugins it ships with, one of which is
the Cornerstone page builder.
In terms of page load times and mobile responsiveness, X Theme is decent, but not exceptional.
Digital is next with 8/10.
Digital is a modern, easy to use and attractive theme tailor made for small to medium agencies
of all kinds.
Although it's a theme, it comes with a modest 9 home page, 3 blog and 3 pricing page layouts.
Like other MyThemeShop themes, it doesn't include a page builder, but does integrate
seamlessly with Elementor.
Digital's design is clean, uncomplicated and refreshing.
The only criticism we have is that some sections can feel a little bare.
However, a plus point is that the demo would be easy to reimagine for whatever business
you could need it for.
Like other MyThemeShop themes, Digital is exceptionally a lightweight and aces just
about every page speed test.
However, the mobile responsiveness could do with some more refinement.
In 15th spot is Sassico with 8/10.
If you run a tech startup, then Sassico is a WordPress theme tailor-made for you.
Although niche-specific, there are still a number of full single and multi-page website
demos to choose from.
They all have a similar look and feel, typical of the modern startup business website.
Colorful, engaging and with plenty of white space.
The themes also come with fun animated effects.
Instead of an overwhelming number of page layouts and elements, Sassico focused on what
startups are most likely to need.
For example, Team, FAQ, and Pricing pages as well as charts, client logos and hotspot
page elements.
Mobile responsiveness varies from theme to theme but generally looks and works pretty
well.
The biggest concern is the page load times, which are in the lower half for this list.
Next up is Arquito with 8/10.
Arquito is an exceptionally sleek theme aimed at sophisticated industries like architecture,
finances and interior design.
The theme features some exciting and unique animations on page load and scrolling like
blur in, parallax and zoom effects.
It's an undeniably breathtaking theme with few contenders when it comes to visuals.
However, it doesn't really cater for businesses outside of the niches just mentioned.
The demo content is also a bit too niche-specific and it doesn't come with as many website demos,
page layouts or custom elements as other themes.
That being said, it does come with a convenient range of stylistic variations like light and
dark, minimal, panoramic or grid designs.
Unfortunately, all these fireworks mean Arquito is subpar when it comes to page loading performance.
Next up we have Pets with 8/10.
Pets is something different aimed at the animal lovers out there.
It's a happy-go-lucky theme that's easy to identify with the warm feeling we get whenever
we think of our furry companions.
As you might guess, it's the perfect theme for a vet, shelter, personal pet blog or even
a shop with pet toys or food.
Rounded corners, drop shadows and light colors contribute to its cheerful look and feel.
Like other MyThemeShop themes, it's a pretty straightforward theme that website owners
will find incredibly easy to use.
Although it doesn't ship with a free builder, it integrates seamlessly with Elementor.
The mobile experience is pretty standard.
Next is Arrosa with 8/10.
Arrosa is a multipurpose WordPress theme by Code with a modest collection of 12 full website
demos.
It's not the most comprehensive WordPress theme in terms of features and layout options
but it does come with some stunning designs with unique visuals.
Most of the demos seem purpose built for creative or digital agencies with modern, colorful
and user-friendly designs.
Pink, black, and white feature predominantly.
The pages feel alive and dynamic with a ton of animation sprinkled in everywhere.
Arrosa does need some further work in terms of page load speed optimization.
However, the mobile responsiveness feels fairly solid.
Next up is Mont Blanc with 7/10.
With avid use of grayscale, Mont Blanc is a suave looking business theme by Tesla Themes.
It's also incredibly user friendly with a simple and clean UI.
There are four different homepage layouts that include a parallax scrolling option.
You can also incorporate portfolios, blogs or shops with web commerce integration into
your website.
Like Tesla Themes' other themes, it doesn't ship with too many extra features.
While this does limit your flexibility, it does make it very easy to build a website,
especially since the designs are easy to repurpose for your needs.
The page speed could be improved with a score 73 for desktop and 42 for mobile.
The mobile responsiveness is solid on tablet but not as great on mobile phones.
In spot number 20 is Wilmer with 7/10.
Wilmer is a theme aimed at businesses in the construction industry.
The design features plenty of blue, orange, large robust Sans Serif fonts and straightforward
designs.
Although it's a niche theme, it still features a few demos for specific use cases such as
architecture, real estate, investment, etc.
It's a very attractive theme with lively colors and user-friendly layouts.
It also features useful elements like accordions, counters, progress bars, pie charts and separators,
all vital to a modern business website.
The theme also has dedicated Blog and Shop pages as well the essential header styles.
Wilmer does struggle a bit when it comes to performance with less than stellar scores,
especially on mobile.
However, the overall mobile responsiveness is pretty solid.
Last but not least is Consulting with 7/10.
Consulting is a business theme targeted at the consulting and finance industries.
Voted the number one most wanted consulting theme on Theme Forest, this theme features
over 40 demos all of which are within these niches.
The designs are professional and easy to navigate without being too dull.
Other notable features are 12 different headers, 80 page layouts, [unclear 17:55] appointment
modules and localization for 10 languages as well as handy premade content blogs for
everything from YouTube to Google Maps.
Full Service, Shop, Blog and Portfolio assets will cover the needs of most businesses.
Unfortunately, overall page loading times are just below average.
