It’s time for our monthly roundup of new premium WordPress themes. Below are the best premium WordPress themes released by independent WordPress theme shops in February 2013.
There are a number of interesting themes released this month including a Windows 8 Metro inspired theme, a classified ads theme, and some modern bogging and business themes. We also have quite a few hotel WordPress themes from new company Hermes Themes, which I believe are the most expensive premium WordPress themes on the market at $199 each! As is the major trend of 2013 most of the themes have mobile responsive layouts, and some with “flat design”, another growing trend this year.
We will be updating this list throughout the month as themes are released. If you want to keep up to date with all the new premium WordPress theme releases keep checking back or consider subscribing to one of our feeds (RSS, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Email) for updates.
