This Theme Thursday, I’m happy to share Lodestar, our new free theme!
Lodestar
Designed by Mel Choyce, Lodestar is perfect for your small business or organization’s website.
The theme allows you to create a one-page website, showcasing all your company’s information in one spot, interspersed with full-sized featured images.
Or you can use Lodestar to make a beautiful, multi-page website. The theme’s portfolio support allows you to display your past work to prospective clients. You can also post testimonials, sharing how happy past clients are with your creations.

I use that theme for SuperTechPower! It is sooooooo cool! 😎😎
Lodestar looks amazing! Nice work as always WordPress!
Nice – How do you think this would work out with WooCommerce on a self-hosted site?
Answered it myself – I just tried this theme on a self-hosted site and it works very well – looks lovely.
This is great to hear – thanks David!
The theme looks nice. I just hope it is responsive.
Thanks Fouad! Lodestar is responsive, so it will look good on a variety of screen sizes.
Very interesting I send my best wishes to the team Laurel
Very cool thank you for sharing!
Looks clean and simple!
Nice, look forward to many more themes for small businesses especially ones that showcases products
What is the best template for food blogging?
We have some themes picked out that we feel would be well-suited to food blogging:
Free: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/food/?sort=free
Premium: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/food/?sort=premium
However, I think any theme that you like, and that displays photographs nicely would be suitable!
Thank you. This is really useful!
Hi! I downloaded the theme immediately and installed on one of my company sites i.e. raisinahill dot in
However, I am not able to show social media links on the site. Pls assist.
Thanks in advance.
Hi! I earlier struggle a bit with social media icons menu. But, by the time, any help could come, I managed to install them on one of the sites which proudly has this theme, now. Thanks for this wonderful work.
I’m glad you got the social media links sorted! There some more information about setting up different parts of Lodestar here: https://wordpress.com/theme/lodestar

Nice, clean lines – I like unfussy business blogs.
Also, missing the point here, but I want that leather folder! 🙂
The theme looks nice
SO COOL
Hmmm very tempted to give this a whirl – it looks great!
Woww, beautiful theme. I realy love your theme.
I’m completely new to website design and WP. I’m a real estate broker/investor looking to create a website. How do think Lodestar would be for my business. I was looking at Edin but this really caught my eye. Thanks for advice can you provide.
I think Lodestar would make a fantastic theme for a business, but I have to admit, I’m a bit biased 😉
Edin’s also a really sharp theme – there are quite a few themes on WordPress.com targeted to business sites:
Free: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/business/?sort=free
Premium: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/business/?sort=premium
I’d recommend trying a couple out to see what fits right for you. If you run into any problems or have questions, you can always reach out to us at: https://wordpress.com/help/contact/ 🙂
Thanks
I think it’s cool.
Lodestar’s social links menu has an impressive number of sites and I hope that support will be extended to our other business themes as well. Including SoundCloud and Snapchat in those links would be perfect. Well done!
Looks trendy for a business site. Thank you for sharing it with us 😊
Great job with a new short of different tweak. I’ve been looking for a theme that will display EVERY picture in full size, all across the screen, the way my current theme will display each “header image” for each individual post.
Could this be the theme I’m looking for?!!!!
I am not sure I am expressing myself clearly but would love to hear back if you think this is what I have been searching for all this time :-).
Does this theme allow normal paragraphing with indented first line and no blank line between paragraphs unless wanted?
That’s a change you could make with Custom CSS, available with the Premium or Business plans.
Nice theme, but the more good thing is that it is free awesome dear.
Very Nice theme I like it so much!
