Drupal 8 Themes for Beginners

Parent Feed: 

A couple of years ago, we realized that a lot of Drupal beginners were asking us for simple, good-looking Drupal themes.

These beginners didn't want sub-themes, base themes, frameworks or complicated installs. So that meant no Omega, Zen, Fusion or Bootstrap. These beginners just wanted a theme could be installed easily and didn't look embarrassing. That lead to "Recommended Themes for Drupal Beginners", one of the most popular posts on this blog.

Now that Drupal 8 is here, we've started to hear the same question: "What theme should beginners use to create their first site?"

Unfortunately, the news is not good at the moment. Only 86 themes are ready for Drupal 8, and I could only find 3 that are suitable for beginners.
