Free WordPress Themes from around the Web: 2017 Edition

I recently received an inquiry regarding the best free WordPress themes available for nonprofits. Since it’s been a while since we’ve posted about free themes, I thought it would be a good opportunity to mention some newer themes that are both flexible and easy to work with. Many nonprofit webmasters may not have experience with HTML or PHP, but many are quick to learn when it comes to managing content using a CMS like WordPress. Here are some of the best free options we’ve found that you can download today to give your nonprofit website a fresh look.

Vantage by SiteOrigin
After testing many free WordPress themes, we found that SiteOrigin’s Vantage theme provides a great deal of flexibility due to the SiteOrigin page builder plugin. The Vantage theme offers a wide variety of design customizations using the theme customizer, and the page builder can be easily edited without any coding required. Learn more at SiteOrigin.
