Are there too many Showcase sites on the web now that are powered by WordPress? Some people think so, but why just let a few people have all the fun right?! Start your own showcase website and start building a content filled website that is centered around a smaller niche… something you like. Or you can use these type of themes to showcase anything… a wedding, a photo shoot, a school project, a car show. Pretty much anything you can think of.
Well if you're looking to start a showcase site powered by wordpress then here are a few WordPress showcase themes you can use. I've scoured the web looking for these. I don't believe any others exist.. if I'm wrong please post a link in the comment field. Thanks! More info at the end.
(This post is old and some of the themes are no longer available. Until I can update this post I've removed all the broken links.)
Expose is the newest theme from Kriesi on Themeforest and it came just at the right time because there really aren't that many showcase styled themes on the internet right now. This theme is pretty awesome.
Design Showcase is a nice theme also designed by Kriesi on TF.
Gallery Pro is a very nice theme by UpThemes.. check out the demo.
Showcase Theme is a theme with some nice features although I'd probably choose Expose over this one.
This showcase theme below is free but not supported. It might not work, you'll have to test it on your own.

Dear jeff,

Thanks. I’ll updated it hopefully soon. Btw, you’re not allowed to use the term WordPress in your domain name. Lawyers will ask you to surrender it. It happened to me. Just a heads up.
