I’ve done created a lot of WordPress themes and plugins, but I haven’t done much with the WordPress WooCommerce plugin from WooThemes.
If someone asked me what general theme they should work with to learn about themes, I would suggest one of WordPress’ defaults, like TwentyFourteen
However, for someone who is creating an online store with Worpdress / WooCommerce I would not know where to tell them to start.
- What themes are available as a starting point for working with WooCommerce?
- What other resources are available for getting started?

Method 2
Of course it is worth looking at Jigoshop themes. Next there are WooCommerce themes based on WooCommerce plugin which is quiet derived from Jigoshop plugin (I would give a try to Sommerce Shop theme too).
All in all my favorite plugin is still WP e-Commerce plugin and its system of templates. I used one great theme with lot of functionality based on this plugin not long time ago – WP FlexiShop. You can also see some magic in eStore theme from ElegantThemes. Additionally very good looking theme Balita is offered for free. (there is lot of else like Mazine WordPress Theme)
New rising star on the field of WP commerce solutions is Cart66 (also offered in lite free version) and its themes. From my point of view this plugin has its ups and you should have a look at it as well.
Something else Viroshop…
Method 3
Just reread your question before posting the following, so my answer’s kinda not what you’re asking but I would say if you’re just starting with WordPress ecommerce, save yourself some wp-ecommerce headache and check out jigoshop.
I’ve worked with Jigoshop, Marketpress & WP Ecommerce and would say Jigoshop is by far the best of the three. The Jigoshop plugin is built to work with twentyten/twentyeleven so you could stick with either of those as a base / parent theme. They also have their own premium themes which, while reasonably expensive for themes are probably a good place to start to see how they’ve coded them.
Method 4
Ive used Thematic with wp e-commerce, it integrated pretty well overall with WP e-commerce, in fact i think at some level both developers work together.
Method 5
maybe you can use tokokoo.com, my former employee. This company have legion of coder who expert on wp-eCommerce plugin.
on Or you can use theme from colorlabsprojects.com, they don’t have many of eCommerce theme. But i think their design is quite exceptional.
Fyi, it’s not a promotion. I dont work on both of company
Method 6
I would recommend the woo themes E-Commerce theme framework. Woo Themes framework is fine coded and it is user friendly optimized. Majorly they have premium themes but they also have some free E-Commerce theme. Woo would be an all in one package.
