If you want to create one more blog or your first blog ever, you certainly have your WordPress theme on top of the list of things to get.
Chances are you have two or three themes in mind now, but you don’t know what to choose.
You try to convince yourself: ‘I will start with this theme. Then I will use this one when I create another blog’.
It’s hard.
But don’t worry! You are not alone.
I was just like you some time ago.
I still remember reading my first blog post about the best WordPress themes to use.
And I don’t remember exactly where I read it, but I was so confused because all the themes they mentioned were amazing.
But I kept on reading articles until I fell in love with my current theme.
And here, I am going to share with you 10 of the best WordPress themes for blogs in the market right now.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
The first WordPress theme I want to introduce is called The7.

Well, another cool thing with this theme is The7 Theme Options.
Basically, you get more than 1000 Theme Options and 250 Page Options.

Absolutely.

The first time I heard about Divi, I was being interviewed for a content writing job.
The man on the other side of the screen was very friendly, though he was asking many questions.
My problem was that I never wrote content for anybody.
And I never used WordPress.
I was actually interested in creating my own blog at that time, but I also wanted to get some experience.
That’s why this job was perfect for me.
So the recruiter asked me:
Have you built a website before? – No.
Have you written content using WordPress before? – No.
Do you have any experience with WordPress? – Yes. I have never used WordPress, but I have watched dozen of videos and read tons of posts about it. It’s easy to use.
I thought to myself: ‘Those were poor answers.’
But surprisingly, the man was ready to teach me how to use Divi and write content.
He recorded tutorial videos just to train me.
And that’s how I discovered and used Divi for the first time!
That was my first practical experience with WordPress, and Divi is the first theme I’ve ever used.
Since then, I have seen ads about Divi everywhere, and today, 700,000+ people use it to create their beautiful website.
All Divi customers have access to over 200 website packs or designs with more than 1500 layouts.
This means that you find whatever design you’re looking for.

Great. But what is the best among them do? Do you recommend any theme in particular?
Hey Aria,
Thanks for your question. I usually recommend Avada and Divi to my students. I have used them a lot and like all their features.
But there are a couple of questions you may need to ask yourself before choosing a theme:
1/ Do you want a one-time payment theme, or are you okay with a yearly payment?
2/ Is a theme easy enough to use?
Do not hesitate to watch tutorials on their respective YouTube channels. You will certainly feel a connection with one of both themes.
I have seen Avada recommended quite a lot. Is it good?
Hey Lucas,
Avada is a fantastic theme, and the developers behind it constantly update it with new features. It’s a theme I recommend a lot.
I will go for Divi. I have watched a lot tutorials on YouTube and I think I know how to use it without even testing it.
That’s how you start mastering a theme without even using it.
OceanWP seems to be the best free WordPress theme on this list. I will check it out to learn more.
It’s good that one of the themes got your attention. This is how you discover the one that you will love more than any other theme.
