If you want to develop a website in any CMS, you will need a theme or template to do it quickly. In Joomla, there are thousands of free Joomla templates which can be used for the commercial or non-commercial purpose as well.
However, when you have lots of options, it is hard to choose the best one. You can also check how to choose a best free Joomla Template where industry experts shared their views. So in this post, I have created a list of Free multipurpose Joomla templates which can be used for any niche website. You can use these templates for a business website, a charity website or some templates can be used for e-commerce purpose as well. In our last post, we have shared a few outstanding Magazine Joomla templates.
Note: Some template providers allow you to remove footer credit and some don't allow. So you need to check out their policies before using the template. Also, it will be good if you can reward their work by giving a footer credit to them.

Final Words
Are you using any Free template from this list? If not, let us know which theme you are using. If you are running low on budget, Free themes are best to start a business.
However, in my personal opinion, I will suggest you choose a premium theme. Because Free themes come with limited functionality, fewer customization options, and poor support. You will find only a few developers out there who are offering great support for their free templates.
