Who makes these

An Edmonton studio that gives away its work on purpose.

The Big Head is a small Canadian studio. We build iOS apps, WordPress sites and internal business tools for clients — and everything free on this site is a working sample of how we do it. If a theme is close to what you need but not quite it, we are the people who can finish the job.

🌐

WordPress & web

Sites, custom themes and the plugins that hold a business together.

📱

iOS apps

Native iPhone apps, App Store prep, product pages and launch assets.

⚙️

Internal tools

Client portals, dashboards, booking systems and quoting calculators.

FAQ

Before you download.

The questions people actually ask about free themes that claim to be free.

Are the themes really free?

Yes — WordPress themes are GPL v2+, Shopify themes are MIT. No pro version, no licence key, no feature held back. The full licence in plain English.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, no email capture, no newsletter. The download button downloads the file and that is the end of it.

Can I use them for clients?

Yes, on as many sites as you like, and you can charge whatever you charge. Building a site for a client is not redistribution and creates no obligation for you.

Do they track anything?

No. The WordPress themes make no external requests at all — no Google Fonts, no analytics. The browser tools run on your device and never upload your files.

Will they stay updated?

Yes, for WordPress compatibility and bugs. And because they are GPL, you can fix anything yourself — send the fix back and we will fold it in.

Do you build custom work?

Yes. iOS apps, WordPress sites, client portals, dashboards and booking systems, for businesses across Canada. Tell us what you need.
