Mine set me back the huge sum of $59. I can't remember the conversion rate.

If they can't afford that, then look here https://wordpress.org/themes/

Shame as they do look like nice themes though...

Buy the subscription through your Ltd and use one of the themes for your own website. Then download the template for the sailing club and bosh - done.

Best Wordpress template for small clubs / organisations

Hi,

Question as title : I am doing the website for a small sailing club I am a member of and have more or less decided upon Wordpress as the framework. The default WP template is strongly geared towards blogging and I would prefer a multi-page tabbed format for quick navigation. A forum would be nice too, with password protected access.

Any suggestions as to a good, free WP template suitable for this kind of organisation would be much appreciated. Any general advice regarding WP, or links to web-based tutorials or books would be of interest too.

Thanks,

Boo
