WordPress Inspiration: Awesome Real-Life Sites Using the Total WordPress Theme
At WPExplorer we run a blog with many articles, tips, tutorials and guides for working with WordPress but we also develop free and premium WordPress themes. Our most popular and best theme of all time is the Total WordPress theme which at this point has already surpassed 50K sales while maintaining a 5 star rating and consistent updates.
The Total WordPress theme is very versatile and over the years we’ve seen the theme put to good use. Many of our customers have created really awesome websites using the theme and we felt like it was time to share some of those sites with you as inspiration and also so you can see what the theme is capable of. This are only a very few select sites from the many out there that we have bookmarked over time but there are MANY more amazing sites built using Total. If you have built-one please share in the comments below!

For me Total is the most complete WordPress theme. My main site is build with it – narrowem.com. What I can add as a recommendation is to create big and bold temple. What I am only missing is the large typography. Keep up the good work!

Do you have any referrals for web developers that are familiar with WP Total? In the article, AJ mentioned a development company called “Blue Whale.” Their site is live, but the contact form is buggy. Thank you in advance.

I love the total theme. It’s quick to load and has lots of options. I have gone through the websites and all are great. However, I have not seen a blog website such as this one – Flavorful Space was designed using the Total theme and it looks awesome.
Simply the best theme out there on the planet to date. Flexibility and amazing support is what makes us use the theme on every project.
A few of ours and many more coming:
