Cool, beautiful Wordpress themes
WP CODA is a unique WordPress theme with a fluid slider providing navigation between key website pages, which could be useful for small business websites.
The theme only displays your WordPress Pages, rather than Posts, so is best suited to websites designed to showcase a limited amount of information.
This is a difficult theme to describe but is certainly funky and something quite different to make your site stand out. Check out the demo for a full understanding.

Sharpfolio is a beautiful theme that makes the creation of a professional portfolio a snap.
The code is clean and the design is simple yet stylish, with all the focus on the work being presented rather than on flashy headers or sidebar widgets.
Adding your recent work is extremely simple, making the upkeep on a portfolio site easy.
Linquist is an elegant and minimalist WordPress theme purely oriented towards the creation of portfolio websites showcasing photos, artworks or visual designs.
Users can choose between light and dark colour styles, both of which are effective and beautiful, putting the portfolio images front and centre, and allowing for small captions containing information about each work.
Each item has its own page and comments, and there’s an Options panel to help make the site run the way you want it to.
Portfolio is a sleek and sexy but somewhat flawed WordPress theme making it easy for photographers or designers to create a site showcasing their latest work.
I say sleek and sexy because it looks modern, has wonderful typography and large images which would create an attractive-looking portfolio site.
However, I say it’s flawed because you can’t link to any of the individual entries and nor do the portfolio items link to the websites being showcased. Neither of these decisions makes much sense.
Nonetheless, the theme author says some of those problems will be updated in future releases, or if you’re able to tweak the design a little you might be able to do it yourself.
Viz | Biz Portfolio is a beautiful WordPress theme designed to showcase the work of photographers or visual designers; also useful for photo bloggers.

You can easily upload your own header image using the WordPress administration.
The Viz | Biz Portfolio theme costs $US79.95 for a single licence.
