Paying for WP theme
 

As expected, 100's of themes out there both free and pay. I've gathered the basics i.e. requirement for fully responsive design, flexibility when it comes to ad space etc. I don't want to create my own theme from scratch and, if it's a requirement to spend a little to secure a half decent theme with good feature list, I'm happy to do that.

A couple of ones that crossed my mind, anyone using these and if yes how are you getting on with them? Or should I be looking elsewhere and if so, where :)

adult-wordpress-theme . com
freewptub . com (pro version)

Adult-wordpress-theme is quite good, but there are some issues (for example once you enable the ssl cert with this theme).

Cheers, do you reckon I'd be safe enough giving AWP a go, or is there another you'd recommend around the same price that is better whilst still being easy to use/navigate?

Why not! It does add some level of uniqueness eventually.
