free-premium

Well, with 3000 free themes available on WordPress, anyone would lure to go for free theme. But it is rightly said “There is no such thing as free”. Free themes comes with some limitations like lack of mobile responsiveness, color customizations etc etc..

The main reason for not opting to a free theme is that lack of support.

Every website has its own aim of being in online world. This purpose will be affected with the type of theme you choose. So these tips will help every soon-to-be website owner to choose the best WordPress theme for blog or website.

  • Features needed: Check if the free theme is serving all the important features you needed for your blog or website. If you want awesome features like attractive landing page and pixel perfect mobile website, premium theme is your option.
