21 Neatest Templates on ThemeForest

on Oct 2nd 2008 with 48 comments

As the calendar ticks over into October, Psdtuts+’s sister site ThemeForest has made it to 1 month of age! We’re very excited about ThemeForest’s potential over here at Envato and I’m working hard to build traffic and content on the site. So I thought I’d take a moment to show you 21 of the neatest themes so far. There are plenty more to look through (200 more in fact), but these ones are my favourites!

 


Business Web Templates

Business is always going to be a popular category and it incudes the highest selling template (Justin Scheetz’ drop-down enabled, multi-pack extravaganza) as well as a couple of templates from me that I somehow managed to find time to make. So here are 8 of the best:

Blue Company ($10) illu

 


Portfolio Templates

Another popular file category on ThemeForest is the Creative / Portfolio section and it’s not surprising as there are a few very impressive looking portfolios. As with all templates you’d probably want to do some customization to make them yours, but they certainly provide a good baseline.

General Admin Skins

When you develop web applications like custom CMSes or other client apps, it’s always good to give the backend a nice, presentable skin. Our Admin Skins section has a growing set of clean, presentable and customizable skins to theme your next app.

CSS Admin Theme ($10) mip

LiteAdmin ($12) reidknorr

 


WordPress Themes

I love WordPress, most of our Envato sites besides the marketplaces themselves are running on some version of WordPress. In fact the new TUTS theme which is in testing right now, is WordPress to the max! So this is perhaps my favourite category and includes themes to turn WordPress into a magazine, a CSS Gallery, a review site and much more.

Hello! I started Psdtuts+ because years ago reading Photoshop tutorials was how I got into design. You can find me on Twitter or on my blog theNetsetter.

    Nice templates, and cheap too! Thanks for the information Collis.

  • http://www.yoursiouxfalls.com/blog/ Reid

    Great post Collis! I feel honored to have my template in this 21! You have done such great things with Envato and you deserve all of the success that your having. Now several designers are getting opportunities as a result of Envato and personally I want to thank you!

  • http://genbucks.com/linking/?id=mobility jite mobility

    hi Collis i an very excited about ThemeForest’s template you have many wonderfull design. but i will like to know if they are not costly

  • http://www.bluesheepstudios.com/blog Alek

    some really nice templates in here. I’m impressed!

  • http://skateass.com/wordpress General Specifics

    Great templates!

  • rybaxs

    This business web templates are great! you can never say exquisite, extravagant or eye-filling templates… it’s so cool and simple!

  • Dude

    Yawn. PSDTUTS has become a vehicle for flogging other Envato services….

    how about a few more decent tutorials… the rate of new tutorials has severly dropped off over the last month or 2

  • http://www.insicdesigns.info insic

    hmmmm cool, and the price is so affordable. looking forward to see more templates in themeforest.

  • http://www.1stwebdesigner.com Dainis Graveris

    Nice to see in those works – the latest trends – what means modern design – simple, calm colors – good overview! :)

  • http://www.mabucplus.com/ Mark Abucayon

    very attractive templates, Good Job guys.

  • http://- Asnake

    cool and simple thanks guys — at least i have something to site when arguing to my boss — i like such styles a lot —

  • http://www.jaketoolson.com Jake Toolson

    the “our community” theme is pretty much replicated from WooThemes “Fresh News”. Might want to check it out.

  • http://www.jadgraphics.net Long Beach Web Design

    This is really neat. For templates that cheap, the quality of the files are great. I hope to purchase some of these in the near future.

  • daniel

    really nice job there! congratulations!

  • http://www.freshclickmedia.com Shane

    Bit of an eye-opener – like others have said, the prices are very cheap really…

    I’ll head over to the forest and take a good look around.

    Thanks.

  • http://diesellaws.com diesel

    Well done, some great pieces there!

  • http://www.eggrage.co.uk John

    Nice collection.. but a couple of them aren’t particularly neat to be honest

  • http://www.laranzjoe.blogspot.com Lawrence77

    Themes are very Nice and cool and clean…
    good in colors..

    But Collis is come for Advertisements… :(
    Where is the designer Collis? :X

    :D LAWRENCE :D

  • http://www.laranzjoe.blogspot.com Lawrence77

    TO Collis: you announced five-part series on Photoshop Typography, but you posted only two in that series…
    Where is the remaining FIVE :x

    With regards,
    :D LAWRENCE :D

  • http://www.laranzjoe.blogspot.com Lawrence77

    sorry i’m weak in Mathematics… :)

    Where is the remaining THREE? :x

    :D LAWRENCE :D

  • Greg

    Lawrence.. come on.. you’ve posted multiple times in every article here and you haven’t added anything of substance. Collis created this website as well as all of the others on the Envato network and I’m sure he has a lot of work to do, so he probably doesn’t have too much time to be making text tutorials, especially right now.

    • http://laranzjoe.blogspot.com/ lawrence77

      yeah I agree now!

  • http://www.adworks.ro Romi Dumitrescu

  • Zach LeBar

    great stuff collis. please keep more posts like this coming, its great to see what’s good at themeforest. :D

  • Loco

    Great stuff.
    I have a question on something else….
    Why haven’t we have heard something about the “Solving Poverty” contest?

  • http://www.gncwebmaster.com gNcWebmaster

    ShowCase Gallery Theme is very good. Thanks…

  • http://www.scheetzdesigns.com Justin Scheetz

    Hey Collis, thanks for featuring one of my templates! ThemeForest is going great so far, can’t wait to see how the rest of the year goes and what the plans are for the future.

    Thanks again for such a great design outlet. :)

  • http://www.thisisaaronslife.com Aaron Irizarry

    Thanks Collis!! these are great… Keep it up! Hope to see more continued success for you and the envato network

  • http://www.dariobologna.com dario

    very interesting…
    but themes for rapidweaver!? do you think we will see on psdtuts?
    http://www.dariobologna.com

  • http://www.danharper.me Dan Harper

    Thanks for including my GamePress theme Collis :) And I’m always amazed at some of the fantastic designs others are making on TF.

    @Jake Toolson: Most magazine/news themes follow a general structure which works well. Our Community is not a copy of FreshNews at all, and Kailoon is a very talented designer.

    You also emailed me accusing my GamePress theme to be a copy of FreshNews. HOW? The only similarity is that they both use WordPress…

    :)

  • sc

    terrific themes, i am this close to chucking trying to design a few of my own and buy some themeplates so i can go on with my life…lol.

    for folks like Lawrence, (and sometimes even me), i was wondering if your company could give your network of wonderful sites the ability to have editable comments, at least editable for the time the window is open or logoff. i know i have posted and found i have misspelled or forgot to add something.

    This is great to see them in one place like this. It looks like the feeds are working. I kept getting 404′s when I clicked on links from the rss feed in my reader but they all came through today. Is the initial view when you click on a section , like wordpress, showing the newest themes?

  • http://www.laranzjoe.blogspot.com Lawrence77

    no answer from COLLIS still now :x

    LAME

    They look great. Check them out the live previews on the site.

    Hi Collis.

    Thanks for including my Showcase theme in the list, much appreciated! ;)

    There will be a reloaded version of the theme coming soon with much more admin features for total control and some pretty neat layout options.

    So if you liked the original theme then keep an eye out for the next ;)

    Cheers

    Hello,
    reffering to this article about website templates:

    What do you think about the Photoshop-PlugIn “SiteGrinder”
    http://www.medialab.com/sitegrinder/ ?

    Do you think its a great web authoring tool? And can I also make big and complex websites with sitegrinder (with different layout grids, with navis and subnavis)?

    Would be great to hear about your experiences…
