Requirements for Client Who Wants Minimal
Client: Lois Lane
Website: Shopping Reviews
Client liked these sites,
Nice and simple - http://www.wendyslookbook.com/
http://www.extrapetite.com/search/label/Lookbook
http://www.wendyslookbook.com/
Requirement for Client Who Wants Photo Gallery
The purpose is to showcase art, photography or photos of family to share with others.
Shortlist,
Evolutiion - responsive, simple, up to date, packaged with other well done themes - http://elegantthemes.com/preview/Evolution/
BigBang - meets all criteria and the other ones done by this company look very good - http://demo.brankic.net/?theme=BigBangWP
- Don't like how the images link, there are two icons one for expand and another for link.
Theme Stores
http://themeforest.net/ - Very large collection, well organized.
http://press75.com/ - Another one, I might like Social Life near the bottom.
http://theme.wordpress.com/ - Wordpress.com's own website.
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/ - WordPress also has GPL themes with paid support.
