Framework Themes for WordPress

 A look at the available WordPress Framework Themes for WordPress.

I use frameworks a often to build WordPress sites. They are quick and easy to use, plus they make it easy to update or change the layout later on. My favourite one, Ultimatum Theme, keeps getting better but it's always good to see what else is around.
