There are thousands of great WordPress themes out there, but finding one that’s perfect always seems to be a challenge. When searching for a theme, I expect it to be responsive for mobile and tablet, SEO friendly, fast, and easy to modify. While some free WordPress themes do all of this, most don’t. I’ve found that it usually pays off to invest in a good premium theme.

Here’s an exhaustive list of the best premium responsive WordPress themes available. All of them are fully responsive for mobile and tablet.
