A look at the available WordPress Framework Themes for WordPress.
I use frameworks a often to build WordPress sites. They are quick and easy to use, plus they make it easy to update or change the layout later on. My favourite one, Ultimatum Theme, keeps getting better but it's always good to see what else is around.

| Thesis by DIYthemes | 0% | $87 pa or $197 once | |
| Hybrid by Theme Hybrid | 0% | free | A theme with many layout options. Hasn't been updated since 2013 so it may cause problems with the latest WordPress release. |

| Wonderflux by Jonny Allbut | 1% | free | |
| Cherry by Crocoblock | 0% | free | Also known as Cherry Frameworks, I'm surprised that it's not more popular, but I think it's harder to set up than the others. |
| Themify Builder by Themify | 1% | from $39, free version available | |
| Tesla Framework by Tesla Themes | 0% | from $58 pa. $189 once | You also get access to many themes, like the offer from Elegant Themes. |

| ZOOM Builder by WPZOOM | 0% | $99 | A collection of themes and they have some page builders you can buy. |
| Ultimatum by Wonder Foundry | 42% | US$60 subscription | My personal favourite, with many plug-ins like Revolution Slider and Visual Composer included it's great value. |
| Runway by Parallelus | 0% | free | |
| Canvas by WooThemes | 0% | from $99 one year support | Especially built for Woo-commerce. It's more of a highly customisable theme than a framework. Probably the best choice if you are using Woo commerce. |
