This week we take a look at what we consider to be the absolute best Business WordPress Themes of 2020. WordPress began as a simple blog publishing platform. But it didn’t take long for the world to sit up and take notice that WordPress made it really simple to build highly functional business websites. Fast forward to 2020 and now WordPress powers more business websites than any other Content Management System. It’s unrivalled ecosystem of themes and plugins mean that virtually any business segment is well served by WordPress. But this wonderful ecosystem also means that it can be quite overwhelming to find the best themes for your business. That’s where we come in 🙂 We’ve spent years building business websites on WordPress so we think we know a thing or two about the best themes for different kinds of businesses. Let’s take a closer look.
Why a Business WordPress Theme is a Big Deal
As a business, you probably know how important brand strength is and why setting yourself ahead of the crowd is so important. Identity and recognition build trust, reputation, and ultimately profit. In the online world, that’s no different. A WordPress business theme should be more than just a hub which hosts some of your content. It needs to be immediately identifiable. Customers and other curious visitors should learn about what you do, what service your company offers, and how reputable it is.
Therefore, it’s important to go through your choices carefully. Certainly, there are dozens of themes added on a monthly basis, but that doesn’t mean any single theme will do. The wrong choice may present a completely different idea and theme, depending on the customers you want to attract. For instance, a small tattoo business might not want an organized, no-nonsense WordPress theme to represent their creativity!
A picture is worth a thousand words, it was said. Well, a WordPress theme is like a living, organic picture worth thousands more. You want those words to be positive with the right theme chosen!
Your Brand and Your Theme
I’ve heard “brand strength” more times than I can count whenever reading over any business related material. And, likely, I’ll be throwing it out there numerous times myself. And that’s because – like you’ve read – it’s what separates a virtually unknown company from one that’s recognizable. As such, your WordPress theme has to represent brand identity in spades.
Selecting the best one comes down to a checklist of needs. You have to ask your business what you’re trying to sell, the ideas you want to get across, and the consumer base you want to attract. WordPress and its associated corporate themes are a perfect way to communicate all this, provided you pick the right one.
In your quest to slay the dragon known as “what theme should we use,” take with you these key questions: do we need SEO focus?, do we need mobile compatibility? (and the answer should always be yes), what “tone” are we trying to convey, and who is our audience? Once you answer these, finding a WordPress theme which “clicks” with your company becomes a lot easier.
The very Best Business WordPress Themes
I took painstaking efforts to find some of the best choices for a business focused WordPress site. While there are easily 1000+ themes out there right now, my top choices have proven themselves as either legacy choices or up-and-coming firebrands.

Broker is optimized to be a lead generating machine. Brokerages thrive on acquiring as many high quality leads as possible. With key calls to action and contact points highly visible across every single page, Broker will instantly improve your lead conversion rates.
SEO WP
If “money” was the first thing that came to mind when asked what you wanted from your WordPress theme, SEO WP might be for you. If the name wasn’t a clue in, this is all about digital marketing and rank.
SEO optimization has come a long way, well beyond the original keyword saturation formula of yesteryear. As such, SEO WP accommodates for these changes by offering a high performance, mobile-compatible theme complete with numerous premium icons and visuals for maximum value. It’s accompanied with tutorials to get hopefuls on their feet and a host of extra features to measure SEO effectiveness. Some of those goodies include a rank system, a tool for measuring SEO efficiency, social media campaign tools, analytics, and way more.
If your path is one of profit-generation, this is the theme that will give you every tool you need to create strong SEO based content.
The7
The7 does two things for its buyer: give them immediate access to default website themes which can be generated in minutes, and offer in-depth customization of said default themes. This is a choice for a business which is still working on its identity presentation, needs something now, but wants to change later. The built-in design wizard will allow you to modify just about every aspect of your website – all of which are responsive and mobile-ready.
It also comes with auto-translate and organized documentation. Combined with its powerful support team, it’s clear The7 wants to get you the business website you’re after.
Sterling
Sterling is another friendly theme for newcomers or veterans. Businesses which need to build their website fast have an array of in-depth customization options, while newcomers have access to tutorials and a “lightweight” interface for website building. Lots of its features are core components for successful brand building, like SEO optimization, web translation, mobile compatibility, and WooCommerce integration.
Code is nice and clean for experienced teams with backup safeguards, and support is ready to help. Any theme which works to benefit startups or experienced vendors is a win-win in my book.
Construction
So far I’ve gone over several easy-to-use corporate themes for general website-building, but my next choice is something more specific. Construction – as the name implies – is a slick, customizable WordPress theme for building and, you guessed it, construction based organizations.
Considering how important it is to work with clients and how quickly you need to present services and information in an eye-catching way, Construction does all this and more. It’s visually powerful, meaning visitors are hit hard with important elements from the get go. Since prospective construction jobs rely on first impressions, this theme lets you make a strong one.
Construction comes with a visual page builder, translator, mobile responsiveness, advanced customization options, and is backed by a great support team.
Jupiter
Though the planetary counterpart isn’t exactly known for speed, the WordPress theme is. Jupiter talks a big game, and rightly so – hosting one of the fastest load times of the numerous themes available. Since seconds can make the difference between a visitor and a tab-close, this is a big deal for businesses.
But Jupiter isn’t just “gotta go fast.” For buyers, it starts strong with over one hundred built-in themes, all of which are easy to modify with the theme’s built-in customizer. During editing, these are automatically synced – even in separate tabs – which is excellent for testing changes. For a little extra icing, Jupiter has four expensive slider plug-ins automatically part of the package, with plenty of other add-ons for further website enhancement.
If your business really wants to pulverize the competition with an easy to use, fast loading theme, this is your bread and butter.
Jobify
Some businesses focus on creating professional agencies for would-be workers, and Jobify emulates this focus by creating an accessible theme. Equipped with a powerful “search” function which helps sort through employers and potential employees, this nifty theme not only helps your agency but others looking for work. There’s lots of value in a job-search tool, and Jobify aims to make sure you’re the one potential talent goes to first.
Motors
Want to renovate your automobile sales or change a dealership website? Motors is the theme for you, one of the most established names for car, boat, and vehicle sales. This theme covers all the parts for a vehicle-based website, with designs that focus on sales pages, part reviews, simple navigation, and other features to make browsing easy.
Considering the sheer quantity of boats, bikes, and motor vehicles, Motors gives its buyers a host of useful tools. Visitors can search choices based on brand, price, category, part number, and more. Website owners can also craft their own dealer page with easy-to-use customization tools, or act as a resource for locating the perfect vehicle of choice. While it’s certainly true any multi-purpose WordPress theme could do the same, Motors has numerous specialized tools specifically for auto, boat, and bike.
Avada
I wouldn’t leave out perhaps the most recognized WordPress business theme available. Avada is essentially the standard by which all other business themes are compared to, as it’s the highest rated of the hundreds listed.
How did it get this way? Most likely from its powerful customization options (which are simple to deploy), giving you unprecedented control of nearly every aspect of your website. This means buyers can make virtually any business-focused website they imagine, with translation support and beautiful defaults to come with it. On top of that, it has one of the highest performance ratings among its competitors, giving you a huge edge over other websites.
