Here are the best of the best Magento Themes up to this point. The Magento Ecommerce Open Source Platform has been around for quite a while now and community theme development is slow. Thankfully there are 6 themes that have been contributed by 6 fantastic developers. Hopefully we will see some more in the near future. But for now here are the very best open source themes you can find for the Magento shopping cart:
1. Magento Classic Theme
Compatible with Magento 1.3.2+
2. Free Magento Theme from MageSupport
Compatible with Magento 1.3 and higher
3. Magento Absolute Theme
beta version of theme
4. Magento Mobile Theme – beta
beta version of theme
demo | download
5. Yoast Blank SEO Theme
Compatible with Magento 1.3.1.1
6. Pet store theme
Compatible with Magento 1.1
demo | download
Please note: I installed and tested all 6 of these free themes on the most recent version of Magento which at the time of writing this post is Magento 1.3.2.4. All worked perfectly fine. There were a few other good looking/promising free themes that I wanted to include in this post but they did not work properly after installing them. If you know of any other FREE (not commercial) themes that I should be including here please let me know in the comment thread below. Thanks.

These truly are the best of the free themes. My favorite are the Absolute and Classic themes. Both are professional and clean and actually work in a production environment. Also, they both have a comments area where the theme designers offer some help and even improve them based upon feedback.

These are really good looking themes. Most importantly these are free, which is the best aspect. Thanks for sharing these templates. As I am a Magento user for about a year now, it would surely be of use to me.

magneto is great platform for eCommerce but it’s difficult to find theme that is fast to load. Most of them are very good looking but code and graphic elements are too complex so it takes time to load and it’s disaster for visitors.
Hope these will be better ones, thanks!
