Responsive web design is one of the hottest trends in the web design niche right now, and a lot of responsive web templates are available for different platforms like e.g. Joomla, Drupal and WordPress. Most of the themes that offer top-notch features, great responsive functionality, support, etc. are premium themes, however, I also think the availability of free options is quite OK.
If you are running your website on WordPress, you are in good hands. The huge and active community ensure a great supply of mobile ready WordPress themes for various types of websites such as e-commerce solutions, online portfolios etc. There are plenty of cool responsive website templates available and as you can see below, it is possible to set up a mobile friendly website without spending.
If you like WordPress, make sure to check out the thousands of fully-licensed premium themes found over at Envato Market.
If you decide to go for a free responsive theme I recommend that you test the responsive layout using a responsive test tool. This is important because some free themes handle the smaller view points with limited success and I’m sure you want to give mobile visitors a great experience! I have added iPhone preview to some of the themes to help you get an idea of the responsive layouts. Please share this article to your friends in the social media if you find it useful. We will also be glad to know what is in your mind about this article and in responsive web design in general.

Wonderful collection of free WP themes. I also want to share one amazing free WordPress theme called Veriyas. This theme is fully responsive and SEO friendly. It is especially designed for marketing, corporate or professional business websites.It comes with custom homepage management, useful shortcodes, drop-down menus,one click auto install and lots more other useful features inside theme options.
These are pretty cool templates out of the box but eventually a more advanced site will need a custom template wordpress expert to guide them. Happy to help anyone who is at that stage already =)
Salut les gens
Je crois que l’on ne peut plus accéder au site de SM thèmes, j’espère que c’est un dérangement occasionnel car les thèmes sont sympas
En revanche, je ne vois pas bien ou est la gratuité puisque il faut activer le thème moyennant une certaine somme
Maintenant mon anglais est très hasardeux, j’ai peut-être manqué qq chose

Thanks for Sharing, i have also some very clean and simple wordpress themes on my blog. Maybe you want to share them too 😉
I’m on Responsive. Great theme, though they did nuke my front page with an update. It was a quick fix though so no worries. Very easy to setup.
The Parfume theme is exactly what I have been searching for the last few weeks! Thanks a lot!
Glad you could use the article for finding the right theme.
Best of luck with it!

Sofie
I need classified themes.
Nice roundup of free responsive themes, was just looking for some to create some small sites for a client. A non free responsive theme I’d recommend is Alyeska.
@Greg, a cache plugin like W3 Total Cache can make most WordPress sites load almost as quickly as a static .html page.
Yeah, but that’s just the problem. Plugin after plugin after plugin after plugin… and the website becomes so complex that it takes forever to load.
Man I love WordPress. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it loads so long! I almost immediately know if a site uses WP if it takes long to load.
Planshet is a nice theme but the Jelly Bean is really stylish and contemporary. I’m definitely leaning towards Jelly Bean for my new site.
