  Hi,
  I’m wondering if anyone has a theme suggestion for my needs:

  The site is for a company that has created a technical aerial imaging product. I need to have:

  Lots of sample images: technical images with explanatory text, not beautiful photography.

  Drop down menus: necessary for easy navigation

  Thanks for any help.

  Visit the theme showcase and you can put in your requirements and see what is on offer, based on styles, features, layouts and more! I’ve picked a few things I think might suit you but feel free to play around and see.

  This is the second time you’ve been very helpful to me.

  There are some newer free themes for businesses that might be worth playing around with:

  Goran: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/goran/
  Edin: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/edin/

  (Looks like the theme showcase filters the above user created show these two themes in the results, too! :))

  While free, they’re versatile and offer options for a landing/home page, including the ability to show off products in image thumbnails, etc.

  Happy theme hunting!

  How about one for hockey?
  Also is there a way I can make some, (so maybe I can raise some money to have a premium account.)

  How about one for hockey?

  I searched for “Sports” in our theme showcase on got the following:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/search/sports/

  A lot of them are meant for baseball, but you can change it around to fit your needs. Also more than just hockey, it’d be good to look at what you need like 2 or 3 columns? a sidebar? a footer? a post feature slideshow?

  Also is there a way I can make some

  You can look into making themes for WordPress.org. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.
