New Theme: React
Today, we’re happy to launch React, a simple and elegant theme designed especially for business websites. In fact, React is for anyone who would like a clean design to showcase their work and inspire visitors to — well — react. If this describes you, React is yours for the lifetime of your blog for only $68.
The React Theme
Designed by The Theme Foundry, React packs an impressive array of features. In the theme options panel, you can turn the sidebar on or off, depending on your preferences. You can also choose to display a recent projects footer, a latest news footer, and a widgets footer. Add a personal touch with your own logo, a custom background, your choice from one of 7 primary fonts, and links to your Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr profiles. Finally (but certainly not least), load your site on a mobile device or tablet and enjoy the view — React’s responsive layout adapts beautifully to smaller screen sizes.
Read more about React’s features on the Theme Showcase or preview it live on your blog from Appearance → Themes.

Great design
July 27th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
It’s beautiful! I love it
July 27th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Great work
July 27th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Nice new theme! Now if only it was free…
July 27th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
It’s cool, this theme.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
This is such a clean and beautiful theme, but I’m happy with my elegant Piano Black.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Very cool theme. I like arrangement of previous posts on the bottom.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Indeed, lots of features.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
Very nice theme…
July 27th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Nice, but a bit too plain and too much of a corporate feel for my blog.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Another attractive and innovative theme with useful features comes down the WordPress.com Theme Stream. My thanks to the WordPress.com Theme Team for being responsive to user requests for “portfolio” themes, and presenting us with a theme that has such great features. Your work is appreciated.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
This is a great design. I wish this theme existed a year ago when I was researching website options for my freelance writing business.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
I like these funny pics!
July 27th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I’ve been looking for something like this. I love the recent projects feature.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
I like how clean it looks, but like another blogger stated…has too much of a corporate feel.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
It is very plain, but I can see where the point of all that plainness is to draw your attention to the eye candy.
As you say, it is best suited for showcasing your products, art or photography.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:03 pm
Nice theme. Had this been introduced before I would not have spent six times that amount on getting my site built.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
Me likes because pics are given importance. Thank you!
July 27th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
Nice design.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Very business-like, clean, and simple, which makes it great for businesses who want to start a website for very little money.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Nice! I like it! But my recent theme is still the best theme ever!!!
July 27th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Seems kinda plain, but I imagine it would be very good for someone who wants to do their own customization on their blog theme.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Very sharp looking. I am anxious to start playing around with this theme
July 27th, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Wow. WP is always the best.
July 27th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Make it free!!
July 27th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Not so pleased
July 28th, 2011 at 12:11 am
I’m sorry. I hope the next theme we release will be more to your liking.
July 27th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Nice, but alas…I’ve got no $.
July 27th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
The thing about paid themes is that I would never do it because I am not one to stick with the same theme for years and years, no matter what some people might think about switching around. Since that is my case, I would not pay for a theme.
This is not to detract from any new paid themes. They all look fine to me, though in fact, none look so superior that they are in a “pay” category superior to the other free themes.
July 27th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
A beautiful theme, very simple and elegant. A tad expensive though.
July 27th, 2011 at 11:52 pm
Cool…
I’m always loving clean themes
July 28th, 2011 at 12:32 am
Nice clean theme!! YAY! Now… if ony it were free… :’D
July 28th, 2011 at 12:35 am
Geez, you guys are producing themes by the minute! I LOVE IT!
July 28th, 2011 at 12:48 am
Nice theme! but I’ll be using Fruit shake for a while. Any new free themes coming out?
July 28th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Yes, of course.
July 28th, 2011 at 1:10 am
Wow, great design.
July 28th, 2011 at 1:11 am
Wow, it’s nice for company profile or sales letter …
July 28th, 2011 at 1:37 am
It suitable for vectorized illustrations blogging..
simple, clean and nice…
July 28th, 2011 at 2:27 am
I like it, and I might cough up the Dollars for it in future (need to make those Dollars first.) I like it for two reasons: 1. The portfolio bit and 2. The fact that it changes to fit the device. And I love this post because you used the images of iMac, iPad, and iPhone to make your point
July 28th, 2011 at 2:35 am
Cool and clean, but I’ll stick to my present theme
July 28th, 2011 at 2:53 am
Now this I Like! Looks like a perfect portfolio application in a sea of themes that are not as flexible for that purpose. I may migrate a blog over if this theme is as great as it appears to be.
July 28th, 2011 at 3:55 am
It looks nice and simple.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:08 am
I’m having a hard time with this one. It feels too simple & it costs money. I really don’t want WordPress to become a paid theme site. Sorry.
July 28th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
Don’t worry, we have many more free themes coming.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:31 am
Great theme.
July 28th, 2011 at 5:20 am
Great… I hope I can try that one day!
July 28th, 2011 at 5:39 am
This one is just beautiful, I love this
July 28th, 2011 at 6:09 am
Very nice, but price too high for me.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:30 am
Nice theme, but i think the theme a little bit pricey.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:54 am
React is definitely “premium.” I’ve been thinking about a Website for a political campaign, and React might be just right for that application. It’s “clean” without being “plain.” I especially like the choice of text fonts. As used in the “See it in action” demo, React works like a Web page, highlighting a few introductory items, but cleanly, without confusion. The blog becomes a separate link to the main Web page, and the Portfolio can be another major link.
By comparison, Delicious Magazine is very good, but now looks too “busy” for my purposes. I do love the pull quote options in Delicious, however. I thought Twenty-Eleven was quite advanced when it was introduced not so long ago, but it pales in comparison to React and Delicious. I still think Twenty-Ten and Twenty-Eleven are the most sophisticated and versatile of the free themes.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:25 am
wow..i like it….!! great job !
July 28th, 2011 at 8:31 am
So Cute xD
July 28th, 2011 at 8:49 am
This is a cool theme!
July 28th, 2011 at 10:04 am
The theme is very nice and elegant. I just wished if there could be a theme like this for free…
July 28th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Don’t worry, we have many more free themes coming!
July 28th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Please make it free!
July 28th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Great, great, great! I love it.
July 28th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Thanks for sharing
July 28th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
It’s elegant, and a theme I very much like! i would use this if I had a business. Which, sadly, at the moment I do not.
July 28th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
It is a lovely, clean, elegant, modern, magazine-style theme. I don’t mean to jump in and sound negative, but I’ve noticed some people get recognition for theme suggestions in the comments here. The clean/modern/etc stuff is lovely, and very nice. I’m still looking for themes that have more of an archaic, fantasy, medieval look. Themes suitable for writing fantasy and role-playing related stuff. Things that look more like vellum and parchment and old books than glossy magazine stock.
So props to your work. But maybe somewhere along the line….. you know? Something different?
Thanks for reading!
August 2nd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Thank you very much for your suggestions!
July 28th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Yes, it does have a professional look. Still trying to get to grips with my own site, I presume that we can add our own pictures to this site? The projects folder is an excellent idea. An opportunity to showcase your latest work. Well done!
August 2nd, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Yes, you can add your own pictures when using the theme.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
I have no money! Yeah, nice theme but right now, when I’m out of money, I wish it were free. Waiting for many new free themes (such as React) as soon as possible!
July 29th, 2011 at 5:46 am
I can’t hate WordPress for the premium themes. I gladly forked over a few bucks for Linen, and I love it. React looks nifty, too. Long live WordPress!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:19 am
Well, i like it. nice job!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Well it’s great but i think the one which i use on my site is much better. This is a great theme.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
This theme is really cool! Maybe I’ll try it for my other blog.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
Wait… this is not free??
July 29th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Simply wow.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
It’s cool! ^^
July 29th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Very nice theme.
July 29th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Very Nice!
July 29th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Love the theme!
July 30th, 2011 at 1:29 am
Great work. Nice.
July 30th, 2011 at 5:50 am
Wow! This theme just looks breathtaking. I could never thought anyone could make such a clean and elegant theme.
July 30th, 2011 at 6:47 am
I love the gages! Clean, simple, elegant, with a touch of Mr.Wizard-type science, great choice!
July 30th, 2011 at 8:18 am
Looking great!
July 30th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
It’s great!
July 30th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Nice work! I like the heading.
July 30th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Lovely design!
July 31st, 2011 at 4:33 am
Very good for a business. I love it! No money for themes, though.
Great work, WP; keep it up!
July 31st, 2011 at 5:05 am
Love it!
July 31st, 2011 at 5:07 am
What I love about the paid themes are the extra features, sliders, more widgets, even google analytics on some! more of this please!
July 31st, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Yo, I may just use it!
August 1st, 2011 at 2:12 am
Pretty nice design, it looks simple but powerful, unfortunately my budget is so tight, but I will keep checking your themes!
August 1st, 2011 at 3:25 am
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like this theme A LOT….. BUT, won’t be using it since it’s a premium theme. A bit disappointed in that; hope something similar comes out in a free theme soon because I especially like the previous post footer feature for a new blog that I am working on.
August 1st, 2011 at 9:02 am
I like it.
August 1st, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Good one
August 1st, 2011 at 3:14 pm
Good but it’s not free :’(
August 1st, 2011 at 7:23 pm
It’s not a bad theme but i like the one that I’m currently using more
August 2nd, 2011 at 2:29 am
Excellent theme – until I saw the PREMIUM word below it.:)
August 4th, 2011 at 9:00 am
Nice!!
August 7th, 2011 at 5:09 am
This is a cool theme!
