There’s a lot happening on the WordPress sceneΒ these days. And even though WordPress took over as the most popular content management system on the web a long time ago, the reach of the platform somehow continues to grow in a miraculous way.

For instance, the publicly available counter at WordPress.org shows that the newest version – WP 4.0 – has been downloaded more than 14 million times and counting.

And the WordPress themes market doesn’t stay far behind either, with new and interesting themes being released every week. After all, those 14 million downloads have to go somewhere, and theΒ new site owners will inevitably need some quality themes, won’t they?

So today, let’s take a look at theΒ top 10 most interesting (and free) WordPress themes that were launched in October 2014.

Zerif Lite

Zerif Lite is a very interesting solution for site owners who want to use a modern one-page design. Such a structure is perfect if you’re afraid that you might not be able to produce a sufficient amount of content for your site. One-page designs are more than capable of making every business site look great. Some more details about Zerif Lite;Β it offersΒ responsive structure, slide-in effects, and customizable homepage blocks that can be used to showcase various kinds of content (e.g. team members info, services, “about us,” contact).

Mustang Lite is another good looking dynamic one-page design theme. The default presentation features a lively color-scheme that’s likely to resonate with a younger demographic. On top of that, there are also some nice slide-in effects and custom content blocks pre-built for the homepage. The customization possibilities of the theme are worth pointing out as well. Chief of which is the drag-and-drop pageΒ builder.

Onetone is an interesting one-page design that’s based mainly on a good selection of background images. The design elements are very simple and calm.
