4 WordPress Themes That Are Perfect For Any Website Build
Trying to find that perfect WordPress theme can be an absolute nightmare. There are so many different WordPress themes to choose from, literally like over 10,000 of them and what are you even looking for in those endless lists anyway. It can be tricky for a beginner to know what to look for. Unless there is a specific functionality that you really need for your website, you’re basically just going on the look of the prebuilt layouts. Even though they’re probably going to be unlikely to fit the content that you have cobbled together. A lot of them might look great to begin with but they often contain clunky code and no matter what you try your website will always run slow and you will have to add plugin after plugin in an attempt to get an acceptable google page score.
Over the years there are a few templates that I have used that have just cause me no problems and have continued to function as intended year on year. It’s so important that you choose the right WordPress template both for your initial website growth but then also to ensure that your website lasts for as many years as possible or until you decided that it needs a bit of a refresh.
DIVI
Divi is one of those old faithful multi-purpose WordPress theme’s, and I’m really not surprised that it is the peoples favourite too. This WordPress theme was created by Elegant Themes which is one of the world’s leading WordPress Theme creator and seller. By using themes from reputable companies, that are well established, it ensures that you will receive continuous theme updates. These updates will typically include security updates as well as other stuff. Generally, I tend to be security forward and unsecure or dated WordPress themes can be one of the easiest ways for your website to become infected with Malware or malicious code. Divi has had its code audited by Sucuri and has received their seal of approval which is a pretty good signal that this theme is a secure one.
If you are not looking to build this with code, you’re in luck! Divi comes with a great visual builder that allows you to create many different types of layouts. If the thought of designing your own layouts is all too much but you don’t want to be completely soft and go with one of those horrible wixx websites, then this could be the theme for you. The Divi WordPress theme actually comes with 20 pre-made layouts that you can choose from to get started. Honestly though, I would highly recommend that you avoid them all together and build your layouts around the content that you have decided to display. There is nothing worse than trying to shoehorn a load of content into a premade design that was never intended to display all the content that you have, or don’t have which can often be the case. You can always save your custom layouts too, this helps you to create new pages at a later stage much more efficiently. If you are interested in finding out more about the Divi theme then click here
ASTRA
I have recently used the Astra WordPress theme on a few recent website builds and I was genuinely pretty impressed with its customisability and particularly how stripped back the whole template was at the start of the build. It’s a very fast theme and the page scores are all good. It’s always better to start on the right foot with these things. Even at the end, once you have added all your content and any plugins for any functionalities that you might require, it really still feels very light and fast, it doesn’t feel like you have all this extra weight like you can with other template builds. This WordPress theme integrates absolutely perfectly with Elementor pro which can be a fantastic page builder for beginners. It is particularly intuitive to edit existing pages and content but creating new layouts can get a bit trickier if inexperienced. It’s a pretty solid choice. The only issue I have ran in to is with caching and page score issues when using a lot of custom css. It can be resolved but it definitely is a bit of a trade of for the speed and customisation.
AVADA
Avada is the #1 selling WordPress Theme ever. And let’s face it, if something has sold that much there has got to be a good reason for it. Avada is the O.G of clean, reputable and highly versatile multi-purpose WordPress themes. It’s actually one of the first well made themes that I used. It comes with 255+ premade website layouts and 41+ full featured websites. The Avada builder is pretty simple to get the hang of too. This WordPress theme gets you started as fast as it can and if you want to go with one of their demos the installer is pretty easy to use. The one reason I tended to move away from Avada is that it does have a lot of updates, and they aren’t just quick little check boxes. There is a little bit more to it and a particular order in which you use the fusion patcher. Honestly, I never thought it was really that bad to do, but it was enough for clients to not keep up with, ultimately leaving their site vulnerable if not opting for our monthly maintenance package that we would always recommend. Some of the update processes on the other themes are much more straightforward and that was ultimately the main reason for moving away from it. Avada nonetheless is a fantastic WordPress theme and If you’re interested in checking out the Avada theme and taking a look at some of the different theme previews then click here.
SALIENT
Salient is one of my all-time favourite WordPress themes. It’s just so dam versatile and it just has a nice premium feel to it. It’s actually the theme I am using on this website. It’s very simple to create killer layouts that display your content exactly how you want it to. It’s also particularly easy to customise with CSS if required. Salient is actually created by the same company that brought us Avada. As such we can rely on the code and trust that it is robust enough to create a nice website that will last and stand the test of time. Theme Nectar has sold this template well over 90,000 times so again from that alone we know that it’s probably a good one. And in personal experience it is!
Similar to many of the different rival templates, instead of just focusing down on one niche business area Salient went down the multipurpose route. The salient builder is based on visual composer and will be no issue if you have been familiar with any other page builders. This WordPress template can be used for anything from personal blogs to creative agencies to even full eCommerce stores with the addition of WooCommerce which integrate nicely.
