I have been a big fan of Headway Themes and have used this theme personally for the past 2 years. Headway WordPress theme allows you a great deal of customization without having to know code, custom css, what hooks are, etc. – so great for the beginner or someone who wants a lot of layout control.
With that being said, Headway Themes has just released a completely new version of Headway. I have very mixed feelings about the new version right now. I think there are some phenomenal things you can do with the new theme, but… I personally don’t think it’s quite ready unless you are very experienced and can do your own tweaks. Clay, AJ, Grant, and the others are working tirelessly on the fixes and improvements, but for a beginner…I can pretty much guarantee frustration.
Headway Themes does provide a great product – just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve right now.
