15 Best Free Wordpress Themes for March
2014
Simple. That’s the commonality this month as dozens of new WordPress themes became
available and many had a common thread. Judging by this group of themes, minimalistic
styling and simple design are definitely in.
 Arcade Basic
Arcade Basic is a bold theme with a large image display to grab the attention of users. In
addition to a large image, this theme also features a large call to action area, which is great
for generating clicks or writing SEO-friendly copy. The basic version of the Arcade theme
is free but does not include customization options or support. It is fully responsive and
works (and looks) great right “out of the box.”

design is built on the Twitter Bootstrap framework and allows for custom CSS tweaks.

upload capability and social links. This theme only comes in red, which some studies say
stimulates the appetite, and also includes an integrated slider and some simple theme
options.
