Sketch’d is a grungy weblog theme with a neat featured post highlight, excellent typography and great attention to detail.

The theme is easy to use, without the need to play around behind the scenes.

It includes integrated social media buttons and auto image resizing.

With a little Photoshop work, it could also be a great base for a unique, customised theme as you’d really just have to adjust the background images and the colours of a few CSS elements.

Price:

The Sketch’d theme costs $US49 for a single licence, or for $US500 you can join the Wordpress Developers club and get a developer’s licence for all their current themes, as well 1 per month for the next 12 months.
