Since I started this blog I have changed my theme more than 50 times. I didn’t know anything about CSS or HTML codes so I was looking for a theme that wouldn’t require customization. While I was able to find some nice looking Wordpress themes, not one of them was complete in terms of features.
When I stumbled upon Arras, I thought I would be moving on to another theme. Arras under default settings doesn’t look any good, but it has all the features I was looking for so I decided to give it a chance. It turns out Arras is easy to customize since it has a User CSS file where you can put all your codes. That means you can experiment all you want since you will not be doing any harm to the main theme files. Using a few ideas I picked up from the Arras forum, I came up with the current look of TechnoBaboy.
If you have some knowledge in web design, you can transform Arras into a really nifty-looking site. To show you how great Arras is as a Wordpress theme, I collected 25 of the best-looking Arras sites in the web.

what about rbcc.be ?
@Weirys I was using Arras on my blog before but it developed some bug which stopped me from using it, but today surfing the net again I was so surprised to see that it has been redeveloped to another wonderful theme.
I Love this theme , it is working perfect . I run Google Adsense on it.
this is my website link. http://tiny.cc/2z3vbx
Wow I’m in love with that Theme! Excellent list, thanks for sharing!
Can you please tell me how to change how posts are displayed inside the categories pages?
Each of those sites haven them in different way, but I can’t change them in my site.
Thanks!
blitz72.com also uses Arras :D
Great post and I like what you have done with the theme yourself. I’m definitely a fan of the arras theme, although I’m still working on customizing it. Check out my site, http://abovethebuzz.com, which is about movie reviews and trailers.
here is my Arras site, http://www.dryspace.co.uk Any suggestions to improve

Currently working on a child theme for Arras. Can’t wait to unveil it!
http://tnanewswire.com runs off Arras, In the arras support forums, there are tons of sexy Arras sites, I’m surprised we didn’t see alot of them on the list.
Thanks! Just give me the links, i’ll check them out. But if it’s posted in the arras forum most likely i have already seen them. I looked at all sites posted on the forum.
Awesome! The site that I designed is on the list! (no. 14 JohnHart Real Estate). I love using Arras because it’s soooo user friendly and works great. Here’s a couple of other sites that I’ve used starting with the Arras Theme:

Hey thanks! will check them out :)
Nice surprise. Much appreciated indeed. Arras does make tweaking and customising easy if you know a little bit what you’re doing, but getting the credit for creativity is still very nice. Thanks.
Why isn’t my site on there?!? ='(
Haha joking… I don’t think it’s that great =P
Though I would appreciate it if you guys would drop by my site (www.byterevel.com) and give me some design tips
Great list!
thanks ipod nerd! your site has great content :)
Thanks for the mention. Found by my good friend Sieste. Appreciate being in the list.
no worries. you deserve to be on the list.
Cool :) thanks for featuring my site at the top mate, much appreciated!
I’m running a similar list, goes to show how awesome this free theme actually is. It deserves a lot of attention!
Good luck with this theme installation, I can highly recommend building your site on Arras, as I have been doing for the whole of this year so far.
Cheers,
Sietse

I can feel you bro, I had the same issues whenever I make new WP sites and even with my own blog site.
