Smashingmagazine.com is amazing. They often post up truly amazing web designs they find for us to see. For example, check out this list of 45 Fresh, Clean and Impressive Designs. Then they have another list, 60 Elegant and Visually Appealing Designs.
Awesome, awesome stuff. These designs are amazing, and they need to be made into WordPress themes, because as I’ve said before, 99.5% of the WordPress themes (the free ones) out there suck.
No offense to the designers that do them, but let’s be honest, they are not as good as the designs shown in the list above and the ones I’ve featured below.
So, without further ado, here’s a list of the top 10 awesome designs I’ve found that someone (or multiple people) need to turn into WordPress themes. Note: I’m not saying steal these designs. I’m trying to illustrate the type (quality) of designs that need to be made. Stop making them so basic. Get creative.
#1 – The Big Noob
#2 – Kodomedia
#3 – MethodArts
#4 – Rikcat
#5 – Vivabit
Got any more you want to add to this list? Leave a comment.
Smashing also has a list of 83 pretty nice WP designs.

That’s a nice list Linda. However, I’ve seen all of those before, and they’re not anywhere near the quality of the ones I mentioned.
I will say though, that the list you mentioned are great starting points for moving to a custom design. It’s just a lot of work.
Why does everything have to be so hard right! “_)
