New WordPress.com Themes for January 2025


New Year, new theme! We’ve been hard at work developing new themes to help you get started in 2025. Whether you’re building your first website or want to refresh your existing site, these new options can help you achieve the design you want.

Dadaist

  • Designed for: Research Projects and Archives
  • Also great for: Blogs, Zines and Digital Magazines, News, Advocacy

Dadaist pushes the boundaries of what is considered art with absurdism and flair – with Dadaist, you can also reject the boring linearity and empty spaces of typical web design. Dadaist hearkens back to a different era of handmade collages, irregular lines, and bold color combinations, bringing you a unique website that combines the best of digital and print design.

With posts organized into collection-inspired feeds, this theme is a great choice for sharing research collections or blog posts. You can add additional pages, such as an About or Contact page, in the main header while subheaders are a great place to separate your content into collections using tags. A boldly designed subscription block dominates the bottom, making it easy for your followers to sign up to receive new content straight to their inbox.

Koinonia

  • Designed for: Nonprofit and Community Based Projects
  • Also great for: Political Campaigns, Advocacy Organizations

Put your mission first with Koinoia, a theme built to support NPOs through advocacy, community engagement, and donations. Koinonia is clean and modern, ensuring your organization’s digital home feels reputable and professional to visitors old and new. Use your homepage to share your value proposition, mission statement, and additional content to help visitors quickly understand who you serve and what you offer the community.

With high readability and easy navigation, supporters can find everything they need, whether they want to join your volunteer network via a built-in form, browse your community service offerings, or make a matching online donation (tip: many digital payment processors offer discounts prices for non-profit organizations).

Kentwood

  • Designed for: Learning Institute
  • Also great for: Summer Camps, Sports and Hobby Leagues

At a busy institution, you need to address questions and resources for a variety of stakeholders, from current staff and students to prospective families. With Kentwood, you can ensure that you build a professional, reputable digital brand that meets families’ needs, from first visit to graduation.

With two layers of navigation, students and staff can quickly connect to academic resources without sacrificing space for in-depth information for current and prospective families. Your homepage highlights your brand with custom photography and blog updates, while additional pages give you plenty of room for well-organized long-form content. No matter where they are, families will be impressed by the many resources your institution has.

Profession

  • Designed for: Teachers and Tutors
  • Also great for: Speaker, Trainer, City Guide

Professio enables private teachers and tutors to create a digital hub for current and prospective students. With a simple yet visually impactful two-tone theme available in three color waves, you can quickly create a design-leading website for your teaching business. With Professio’s pre-built homepage blocks, you can quickly introduce your services, answer FAQs, and build credibility with downloadable materials, blog posts, and testimonials. Once prospective students are ready to book a course, they can register digitally via a form or email.

Whatever you need to grow your teaching business, Professio can scale it so you can focus on what matters most: your students.

Tape

  • Designed for: Gamer, Streamer, and Esports Personalities
  • Also great for: Bloggers, Podcasters

With its black and neon color palette and futuristic font, Streamer provides a unique gamer vibe. With Streamer, you control your content in one centralized location: share exclusive team updates, represent your sponsors, create custom content, or upload your complete library of Video On Demand directly in WordPress. Cross-platform fans can become subscribers to get your full range of branded content right in their inbox.

Have merchandise? With WooCommerce for Spotify, you can sell personalized products directly on your Streamer website.

Oh, I see

  • Designed for: Digital Portfolio
  • Also great for: Bakery, Microbrewery, Product-Advanced Brick & Mortar Factory

If you’re a visual creator, you want your images to be the center of attention. With Veuo’s full-sized image galleries, your homepage will feel like a bespoke archiving experience. A neutral color palette and unobtrusive text ensure that your artistic style, not the template, determines the final look and feel of your website. When viewers click on an image, they can see it in higher resolution along with any additional information you want to provide. Have many works or themes in your portfolio? Automatically create clickable subcollection pages with tags.

Add your bio or artist statement alongside social media links in your footer, making it easy for fans and potential collectors to follow your creative journey. Whatever your style, rest assured that Vueo will make your work shine.


Ready to try a new look for your website in 2025? You can explore these themes further by clicking the Preview link and then clicking “Demo site” at the top of the page. There, you’ll be able to explore clickable sample sites to better understand the look and feel of the theme.

Once you find a theme you like, you can click the “Activate this Design” button to customize it. Any new blocks or features you add from the WordPress toolset will be automatically adjusted to match the style of your new theme.
