The Best 50 Premium WordPress Themes of 2011

Premium WordPress Themes are without a doubt a good deal. Because WordPress is a CMS(content management system), you can set a website in minutes. WordPress is the most versatile CMS, being able to deliver themes you can use for anything…and I mean, anything! You can open an online shop, you can build a portfolio, it can be used for restaurants, for corporate businesses, etc, etc. I can`t believe how advanced a premium wordpress theme can be!

Being premium, the design is also premium. The designs are trend setters and pixel perfect. There are many developers which pretend they`re building premium themes, but you have to be careful before getting a theme. A premium wordpress theme has to be a combination between perfect design, clean code and versatility. The theme has to be customized without touching a line of code, has to be packed with enough help files to assist you and, if this is not enough, every premium wordpress theme seller has to have a support center.

Nowadays, any theme comes with a custom admin panel from where you can change colors, add google analytics code, add social network links, set menus, etc. Shortcodes are also a must have in a theme, so you can add more complex html elements inside a post.

Today I want to present you 50 premium wordpress themes which I consider being the best themes I`ve seen in 2011. Each of them has all of the elements about I spoke above, they are covering almost all the business types you can set online and can be modified without touching a single line of code.
