The Athena WordPress theme by Smart Cat is a freemium theme that’s popular at WordPress.com, quickly catching on as a go-to option for business sites. It features a large post slider, animated callouts, and integrated Font Awesome icons – a strong base for getting started on your site.
Pros
- Integrated Font Awesome allows you to use the icon font without any other requirements.
- Animated callouts and
- Six widget areas means you’re sure to find the perfect spot for your widget.
Cons
- Column based layout doesn’t require a packing algorithm, so the integration of Masonry is actually a performance hinderance.
- Claims to be “multi-purpose,” but there aren’t very many templates included.

The slider is really great, but the rest of it kind of sucks.
