The theme is ready for integration with WooCommerce, which enables you to handle bookings and reservations directly from within your directory using WooCommerce Bookings, and also includes support for OpenTable, Resurva,Β and Guestful.

Naturally, itβs fully compatible with WooCommerce, which enables you to monetize your directory in a number of ways.

If the previously mentioned Accounting didnβt convince you thereβs a WordPress theme for every conceivable niche, Lawyer Base should put those doubts to rest.
This theme was custom-built with law firms in mind, and to that effect, it features a modern, professional design that inspires confidence without descending into cookie-cutter corporate territory. Its prebuilt layouts include individual pages for different kinds of law areas, testimonials, recent firm news, and individual attorney profiles which can be easily customized.

15. WorkScout (Job Board)
WorkScout is a recently launched job board theme with plenty of functionality to back up its solid design, although many of its more advanced features require separately sold premium plugins.
Using the theme alongside the free WP Job Manager plugin, youβll be able to set up a working job directory to which users can upload listings separated by different categories such as freelance, full-time, internship, part-time, and temp. The theme was also developed with more advanced functions in mind, covering everything from uploading resumes, application management (which could be seen from an employer dashboard), new job alerts, and bookmarked jobs.
All of these functions are supported by the theme and included in the design but require the purchase of add-ons, which may be a turnoff for some.

Hey! Here’s Oana from PixelGrade crew. Many thanks for featuring LISTABLE (our WP theme) in this article. Happy to know you appreciate our creative work. All the best!
No problem, Oana! Listable is a worthy inclusion!
Great collection. But the only theme have used is the Divi theme. Its a nice and beauty theme and loads pretty fast
Definitely it is a great collection of corporate WordPress theme. One of my friend is looking for a corporate theme. Surely I’ll share the link with him.
Divi has been the best choice for us. We run our business on it. Couldn’t be any happier.
Awesome resources Tom, thanks for the list. I might check them out on some of the websites I’m making.
Awesome resources! Thanks so much
They are awesome! I have only used Div but the rest seems very professional too, maybe I would try some of them for a new site.
Themeforest license? wow ..
I like Divi. Very complete module, easy to set up and the license is not complicate
Awesome list! Divi’s my favorite!
I’ve only started using Divi on two of the websites I’m working on and I think it’s a great theme. However, I can’t help feeling it’s overhyped as some of the features don’t work. For instance, I couldn’t find the premade layouts. And one has to edit code or use CSS to customise footer information. Who would have expected that from a premium theme?
Hi Philip, I created a short video tutorial on how to edit the footer credits. Here is the link:
https://youtu.be/P12YRWIR1mk?list=PLF17V-5878mWVOcXf16DqIwStUtMS53ef
Also, I’d recommend following the advice that Kathy gave. If you’re having trouble you can always create a support ticket. And the Divi facebook groups are a fantastic resource to everyone involved.
I agree about the custom-footer part. I think I heard rumors they plan to fix that at some point, but at the moment I find it a pain.
Hi Philip,
Might I suggest you contact ET’s customer support, or join one of the incredibly helpful Divi Facebook communities, to get more targeted support for the issues you are having with Divi. The premade layouts are most certainly there (no hype, it’s true!) and there are many simple solutions available for many kinds of customizations, including the footer information. π
Ok. That is nice. however what about CRM templates?
Only a few plugins but no templates?
Am I missing something or entire areas of Template development.
Today everyone needs to tack their social lifes, circle of friends, let alone firms and social associations of all kinds.
Help.
Ignacio, I’m not entirely sure what you mean when you say “CRM templates”. Do you mean themes specifically for customer relationship management?
If so, then the reason you probably don’t see that too often is because it’s not a great idea to pack all of that functionality into a theme. It’s much better to put the functionality into a plugin and then use that plugin with a theme that works well with that plugin.
I think you’re right in thinking that no one has really got it right when it comes to creating a good WordPress CRM plugin/theme combo. Or even a good WordPress CRM integration. Not for small to medium sized businesses anyway.
Thank you for your response, Nathan and good that you acknowledge the need for good CRM/theme. My point is that there’s a need (I have it) to somehow manage, keep ordered track and general centering relationship’s information. Being a little business, independent service provider, interest organization or much else really would benefit to have an intelligent directory book (able to discern in layers) together with a calendar and the ability to keep track of meetings and their content.
I would prefer to have dedicated site template (instead of a plugin), so I might coordinate that tool with different persons, allowing separate access and the addition of different plugins to sculpt its usage to a diversity of options, plus being easy for it to grow and all without altering or messing with my organization’s site.
Our hosting allows it without a hitch or extra cost.
However, what do we have available right now? that ancient and very limited WP-CRM plugin?? Not mention those utterly expensive (starting from $50-$100 a month!!) cloud services, to whom you surrender control.
And not mention, Bitrix 24 free CRM limited version, because it automatically erases all your dedicated work, ALL of it, just if you do not visit it in a 30 days lapse. Of course, that is a no-no risk for your personal carefully accumulated information about your friends, customers, providers, groups of interests, let alone your history track of meetings, themes talked, etc,etc that such CRM may be so useful for.
///In the actual Netted Universe,this need is bound to grow. Calling developers!
I said this in the last post regarding themes, and I’ll say it again. Divi is really the only theme you need. Once you learn how to use it (which is very easy), you can truly create any website you want. That’s why we only offer Divi to our customers at WP Propeller. It’s all you need!
Totally agree WP Propeller, I was looking for a new theme, but after seeing these themes I conclude that Divi can do each one with a little effort on photos and maybe with some code tricks.
Looking for others themes if just for inspiration.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment, Jonatan! Itβs always good to discover what other themes have to offer, as long as you know which side your bread is buttered. π
Thank you for the kind words! Obviously, we’re pretty fond of Divi too π
