What makes ThemeGrade so different from others theme directory sites is the unique grading of Wordpress themes. After a theme has passed the visual test by our editors, they will proceed with the coding test. Unlike the visual test which is very subjective, the coding test is performed independent of editors’ preference.
The general and SEO coding test are performed base on the criteria that we outlined without bias. There are only “yes” or “no” as the outcome and nothing in between.
After our editors complete the general and the SEO coding test base on the criteria, the system that we developed will calculate the total score of each theme. This score gives users an idea of how well a theme fairs in terms of coding.
The winners in this category are chosen base on the average score of all the themes developed by a particular provider and tested by ThemeGrade. Take the top provider, Elegantthemes.com as an example, this provider has 13 themes listed in ThemeGrade and the score of each theme is 81, 89, 95, 82, 81, 69, 69, 81, 95, 95, 81, 87, 87 respectively. Take all the score and average them out gives you the overall coding score of 84 of this theme developer.
Note that only developers who have at least 8 themes listed in ThemeGrade are eligible to be tested in this Top 10 Coding category.
The followings are the top 10 theme providers who excel in theme coding. Check them out!
