5 Steps to Choose a WordPress Theme: Every WordPress theme is special, each has its own custom and function. Finding the right one for you is significant and in this article I will also clarify the discrepancy between free WordPress themes and paid ones.
To select the right WordPress theme for you, start here and evaluate:
Compatibility
Check that the theme you have selected is well-matched with the latest version of WordPress. On the official website you can check which edition is in force at the moment. If you purchase it on a specialized theme sales site like Themeforest you can be sure that it is. Moreover, evaluate and desire themes that are responsive, i.e. correctly noticeable on all mobile devices.
Plugins
Most professional WordPress themes by now include the most up-to-date generation plugins. These, if purchased independently, are paid, while in the theme package they are previously included, with a discounted price. Check that there are the most famous and well-known ones and that they are recently updated such as the uprising slider or Layer slider plugin the Visual Composer (to customize pages), Woocommerce (to create the eshop) and many others.
Technical assistance
This point is very significant and I always suggest it. Choose a theme that has technical assistance or support from the producer . In the theme card, check that there is a contact (an email) or a link to a site devoted to technical assistance. Look for an options to open reports of interventions (tickets) to resolve any harms related to the template, over the months. When you buy the theme, you usually have 6 months of technical support included. Also, you can expand it to 12 months by paying a small extra fee. This aspect is basic. Do not underestimate it. Open communication with the author of the theme is very important .
Technical features
In addition to be familiar with the plugins present, also take a look at the technical characteristics of the theme, such as:
first manufacturing date
last modernize date
files included
compatibility with which browsers
Author credentials
You must pay attention to whether the theme author has built other templates and if so, how many, which ones and how famed he is in Theme Forest. Click on outlook Portfolio to see them, maybe you will find another one that goes with you. You should check that most of the comments left by those who have already purchased the theme are positive or at least more than the negative ones. The number of sales of the theme is also essential: the higher they are, the more appreciated and steadfast the theme is.
Here are some sites where you can buy professional WordPress Themes:
