WordPress theme authors
Themetix tracks where themes come from. This list ranks the 3 361 authors and studios behind WordPress themes by how many live sites actually use their work.
Who counts as an author
The vendor or studio that publishes the theme. Themes sold through ThemeForest or TemplateMonster are credited to the seller, not to the marketplace.
Sites per theme
Total sites using an author's themes divided by the number of themes. A high figure means a few themes spread widely rather than many small ones.
