00:00Finding a solid WordPress theme could be a total pain in the butt.
00:03Trust me, I have licked the pot clean.
00:06I've been through countless themes to find out that most of them were pretty useless.
00:10So I went on a mission.
00:12Me and my team scoured dozens of WordPress themes.
00:15We tested the features, the ins and outs, and we spent a few weeks testing out various
00:19WordPress themes and now we narrowed down our list to 10 WordPress themes that I think
00:23you're going to find really useful.
00:25In this video, we will dive into each WordPress theme, give a 2-3 minute summary of each WordPress
00:29theme, explore their features, and explain what we liked about them.
00:33In case you're new here, what is up party people?
00:36My name is Darrell Wilson.
00:37Today in this video, I'll be showing you the top 10 best WordPress themes for 2023 and beyond.
00:43Or I guess we're going into 2024 soon.
00:45So in three months, we're going into 2024, so I guess 2023, 2024, whatever.
00:50But this video took me a lot longer than I thought it was because I had to really dig
00:54through the trenches and test the ins and outs of tons of WordPress themes.
00:57So I really do hope that you guys find a lot of value in this video.
01:01And before we begin, if you guys do need help with web design inspiration, we currently offer
01:05more than 280 Elementor template kits.
01:08That's a total of 1500 templates.
01:10We also offer 50 template kits for the Divi theme.
01:13We hired the best designers in the world to start this project and each kit has a minimum
01:18of 10 pages.
01:20And the best part, we add 10 template kits to our websites every single month.
01:24We offer lifetime access for all of our kits plus future kits for just 99 bucks.
01:29I'll leave a link to all of our kits in the description of this video.
01:32And before we start, make sure to give this video a big thumbs up and also let me know
01:36your favorite WordPress theme in the comments below.
01:39Also if you guys do want to see any detailed review on any of these themes, let me know in
01:43the comments below.
01:44And with that said, let's take a look at the top 10 best WordPress themes.
01:48Next up, the Spectro One theme.
01:50If you are using the Gutenberg editor or you've always wanted to try it, this is a good theme
01:54to start with along with the Spectro One plugin that the theme recommends.
01:59The theme does its best to simplify the design process with the Gutenberg page builder.
02:03I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of Gutenberg, but this theme and builder definitely streamline
02:07the process to make it easier.
02:09When you first install the theme, it recommends to install the Spectro Builder, which is a plugin.
02:14This gives you access to the columns, rows, and all the elements that correlate with the
02:18theme.
02:19Before going to the page editor in the Spectro section, you can enable specific block extensions
02:23in the settings.
02:25They also have various other options like templates, version control, performance, integrations,
02:31and a few other features.
02:33When you first go to the editor, you'll see different design options like navigational styles,
02:37pages, templates, and also patterns.
02:40There'll be options for the template and the blocks.
02:42The Spectra One plugin also offers a scroll to top feature on the right side.
02:46The Spectra theme comes with a list of patterns and styles you can use for your website.
02:50Here is a list of some elements like the post carousel, the marketing button, and various
02:55other elements you can add.
02:57In the pattern section, this is where you can have access to more of the templates that
03:00come with Spectra.
03:02Here I'll insert a hero banner, then I can change the width to make sure it's full width,
03:06and on the right side, this is where the Spectra One theme comes into play.
03:10Here under the settings tab, you can adjust the layout on the sections such as the contents
03:14and also the width of the section.
03:16You can also adjust the justification of the elements in the block.
03:19There are also some responsive settings that allow you to hide specific sections for specific
03:23devices.
03:24This is very similar to the Elementor Page Builder.
03:27You can also make specific blocks sticky right under here under the positions tab by clicking
03:31on the sticky section.
03:32This will make specific blocks sticky within the editor.
03:35And for those developers who want a little bit more in detail, there are some other options
03:39to change the HTML elements for the block.
03:41Near the bottom of the options, they also do have display conditions that allow specific
03:45users, operating systems, browsers, systems to see specific blocks in the editor.
03:51On the Styles tab, there are several options to change the color text and also the background
03:55of the block.
03:56It also showcases a small topography section where you can control the fonts within the block,
04:01and also adjust the dimension for the block settings.
04:03The Spectra 1 theme does offer various unique blocks and styles for your websites.
04:08Creating a website with the Spectra 1 plugin is pretty simple.
04:11You simply insert a pattern, then you can adjust the width and keep going as usual.
04:15You can also make the menu transparent and also sticky.
04:18There is definitely a learning curve with the Gutenberg Page Builder.
04:21But the Spectra 1 theme does its best to bridge the gap to make it easier for all users who
04:25want to use Gutenberg as their default page builder.
04:28I don't think there is a provision for this theme just yet.
04:30However, there is an option to upgrade the Spectra 1 plugin, which gives you access to the pop-up
04:35builder, loop builder, and also dynamic contents.
04:38I would give this theme a solid 8 out of 10.
04:41It's very helpful when building websites with Gutenberg, but I would like to see more
04:45features in the future.
04:46Next up is the Ohio theme.
04:48The Ohio theme hands down is one of the most creative and modernized WordPress themes on this
04:52entire list.
04:53It truly shines as something different and creative that you can showcase your projects,
04:58portfolios, or just bring a modernized twist to your website.
05:01The theme has elements and styles unlike any other WordPress theme on this entire list.
05:06It also comes with several demos that look stunning that are unique for showcasing projects or
05:10portfolios.
05:11So let's take a look at it.
05:13When you first download and install the Ohio theme, you're greeted with a dashboard where
05:16you can look at the registration, system status, and a few other support articles.
05:20You can also go over to the demo importer and import a template directly onto your website.
05:25The templates each look modern, professional, and have tons of features inside of them.
05:30The theme is mainly geared for portfolios and projects, but you can pretty much use it for
05:34anything like a blog or even an e-commerce website.
05:37The theme settings with Ohio can be a little clustered at first.
05:40It'll take time to get used to it.
05:42Each option has tabs, such as the topography menu, the header, the footer, and so on and
05:47so forth.
05:48The options with this theme are extremely robust.
05:51There are tons of features for each specific section.
05:54The one thing that stood out for this theme was the creative design aspect.
05:57The theme comes with seven different unique menu styles, including a vertical menu.
06:01Of course, it has all the basic options like page layouts, logo upload, and all the basic
06:06necessary options you'd need for a WordPress theme.
06:09What's interesting about this theme?
06:11Well, it sort of has a theme builder.
06:13You can assign specific headers and footers for each individual page or categories like
06:17blogs, posts, and shops.
06:19But you can't create one from scratch, not unless you're using Elementor Pro.
06:23For each page and section, there are options to enable preloaders and dark toggle mode,
06:28and also a color mode switcher.
06:30What's really awesome about the color mode switcher is you can actually make the light
06:34and dark mode switch to any color that you want in the theme options in the color mode section.
06:38All you need to do is change the dark mode background color to any desired color that you'd like.
06:44Then when you go to the light and dark mode, it'll then be the new color that you selected
06:48in the theme options.
06:50The Ohio theme comes with five different blog post layouts that you can apply for each individual
06:54blog post.
06:56You can also make the left part of the blog sticky just in case you wanted them to see
06:59the left side.
07:01Then users can scroll down and they can also select between different blog posts.
07:05The Ohio theme comes with 20 different modules that you can use and add on your websites.
07:08It also comes with a custom Elementor blog module with more than six different styles.
07:13But the Ohio theme really shines in the portfolio settings.
07:17The Ohio theme has several different ways on how to display your portfolio with several
07:21different design options.
07:22This also includes a really interesting tilt effect, drop shadow, and just a lot of other
07:27cool neat ways to showcase your portfolio.
07:30Honestly, I love the demos for this theme.
07:32Overall, I really think this theme stands out as one of the best WordPress themes.
07:36I would give this WordPress theme a solid 9 out of 10.
07:40For being a portfolio theme, I think it has a lot to offer.
07:43You can purchase the Ohio theme on ThemeForest for $59, and that is a one-time payment for
07:48lifetime access.
07:50Next up, the Phlox theme.
07:52The Phlox theme is one of the most underrated WordPress themes on this entire list.
07:56When you first install the Phlox theme, you're greeted with this beautiful dashboard.
07:59You can access the theme customizer, check out their template kits, get access to tutorials,
08:04and also check the system status to make sure everything is running smoothly on your WordPress
08:08website.
08:09The Phlox theme offers various template kits that you can import on your website with one
08:12click.
08:13And I'll be honest, the template kits with the Phlox theme look really nice and there's
08:16definitely something for everybody.
08:18You can also import specific blocks and add them to your template library for your page builder.
08:22This theme is loaded with unique features.
08:24Let's first start with the general tab.
08:26The general tab gives you various layouts, or you can pick a specific size.
08:30It also allows you to change the topography for your H1 through H5 tags, and it also comes
08:34with a really unique animation style.
08:36When you load a page, you can pick specific animation types of how you want your pages
08:40introduced.
08:41You can also add a preloader by selecting your logo to add a preloader to your website.
08:46In the appearance tab, you have more options to change the global colors of your websites.
08:49You can adjust the background color, and also add a website frame.
08:52If you enable the website frame, you'll be able to add a specific color frame around your
08:56entire website.
08:57There are also really unique skins for the video player elements, the audio player module,
09:01and also a pagination skin just in case you guys are running a blog on your websites.
09:06The Phlox theme also has a contact form option that integrates directly with the modules where
09:10you can build a custom contact form from scratch.
09:13The theme customizer doesn't have a header and photo builder, but it offers a builder for
09:17the Elementor page builder.
09:18You can actually pick the header you want right here and import it directly on your website.
09:22Then you use the Elementor page builder to design and customize the header.
09:26And the same goes for the footer.
09:27Now, if you're looking for a free theme to build a blog, the Phlox theme might be it.
09:31The Phlox theme has several different styles and layouts for your blog page and single
09:35post pages.
09:36The Phlox theme comes with 10 unique styles of layouts, plus a grid layout and many other
09:40options like displaying the post info, showing the author, and it also has various types of
09:45load more options for blog archive pages.
09:47And it comes with various styling options for the sidebar style.
09:50The post options are even better.
09:52You can display a sidebar on either side.
09:55With the sidebar, you can adjust the content style to a box or a full width.
09:59And there are tons of other various styling options, like a light box, a comment number,
10:03and much more.
10:04Another cool feature is the elements.
10:06The Phlox theme offers 30 plus elements for the Elementor page builder.
10:10A lot of these elements are useful and they look nice.
10:13Overall, I would say it's an amazing free theme for any type of blog.
10:17Some of the extra options are a scroll to top button, breadcrumbs, and a custom 404 page
10:22that you can create from scratch.
10:24It also comes with a unique custom login page when you log into WordPress.
10:28It also comes with a maintenance mode and a coming soon page just in case you want to
10:31hide your website while you're building it.
10:33The WooCommerce options are a bit lacking.
10:35All you can really do is adjust the sidebar and it gives you a standard layout for your
10:39shop page and your single product page.
10:41Although they do look great, I would like to see more customization.
10:44There are more options for the WooCommerce options in the Pro version.
10:48Another great feature is the page options.
10:50For every page, you can adjust the header templates, the title bar, setting the background style,
10:55and have different sidebar layouts for each specific page.
10:58The Phlox theme is definitely loaded with features with beautiful templates that'll make
11:01it really easy to get your website up and running quickly.
11:04The Pro version is also fairly priced.
11:06It gives you access to 80 plus more templates, tons of header layouts, a much more modernized
11:10product page, and a very diverse portfolio page.
11:13And there are a few other notable options that might be worth upgrading.
11:16The Pro version only costs around $39 and that's good for one website.
11:20I would give this WordPress theme a solid 9 out of 10.
11:23The only thing it's really lacking is the copyright for the images in the demo importer.
11:27And it should offer a little bit more templates.
11:29However, upgrading to the Pro would solve all these problems.
11:33Next up, the Astra theme.
11:34The Astra theme is the most popular WordPress theme on WordPress.org.
11:38Astra is known for having more than 250 templates that you can easily import on your website
11:43with one click, making it really easy for beginners.
11:46The templates work with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Gutenberg, and Brizzy, but you'll need to turn
11:51it on in the general options to enable the Brizzy templates.
11:53I'm not sure why they did this.
11:55The theme comes with a robust header and footer builder that's really simple to use.
11:59It allows you to drag and drop elements to build out your header and footer, plus it
12:03offers the Canvas mode where you can build custom headers for mobile devices.
12:07You can also add transparent menus in the free version.
12:10The general options with Astra are pretty standard like most themes.
12:13It comes with a topography option where you can have custom fonts for up to 6 different
12:17headers.
12:18It also comes with global colors which allow you to instantly change the color scheme of
12:21your website for trying out new color schemes.
12:24It also comes with a button feature which allow you to globally change all of the buttons on
12:28your websites.
12:29It offers a scroll to top feature, and a few other features like spacing for Gutenberg and
12:33smooth scroll.
12:34Astra also comes with several different container options for pages, posts, blog pages, and archive
12:39pages which allow you to add different container layouts for each page.
12:43Next, let's talk about the blogging features.
12:45Astra does have some options for the blog page and post page.
12:49You can hide elements or show them like the comments, categories, authors, dates, and time,
12:55which is pretty cool.
12:56However, it really lacks as far as design.
12:58Astra only offers one blog layout that doesn't really look that nice.
13:02The single post page is also very generic and there's no way you can adjust the image
13:06size in the free version, leaving you with a pretty large featured image.
13:09My honest opinion, I never liked the look of Astra for the blogging features.
13:13I do think there are better options out there, but it still does provide a solid foundation
13:17for beginner bloggers.
13:19And lastly, let's talk about the e-commerce features.
13:22The e-commerce features with Astra are pretty basic.
13:24The theme customizer allows you to fully adjust the shop page by adding in rows, columns, changing
13:29the width, and showing and hiding in elements such as the price or reviews.
13:34The single product page is a bit limited.
13:36You can adjust the container layout and sidebar, but that's pretty much it.
13:39It's not a bad option for those getting started with an e-commerce website.
13:43The Astra theme pricing offers an annual and lifetime plan.
13:46The templates in Astra Pro are sold separately.
13:49The basic Astra Pro plan gives you access to only Astra Pro.
13:53If you want the templates with Astra Pro, you'll need to purchase the essential plan.
13:56If you want all of the Astra plugins, the theme, and the templates, you can go with the
14:00growth bundle, and this will also give you access to all of Astra's future products.
14:04I do have a discount for all of these plans, and I'll leave that in the description below
14:07of this video.
14:08I would give the Astra theme a solid 8 out of 10.
14:11The code quality is stable and reliable.
14:13It's also a fast, lightweight theme that's good for SEO.
14:16As far as feature goes, I think Astra does fall short in this category.
14:21Next up, Rishi.
14:22Now before I talk about this WordPress theme, I just want to let you guys know that this was
14:25recently removed from WordPress.org a few months ago.
14:28Apparently there was some drama, but you can still download the WordPress theme for free
14:32on their websites.
14:33So let's talk about it.
14:34When you first install their Rishi theme, you can import some of their starter templates.
14:38They offer around 25 templates ranging from agencies, software companies, photography websites,
14:43or digital marketing.
14:45You can import just one page, or you can import the entire pack on your website, making it
14:49really convenient.
14:50In order to access all the features with Rishi, you'll need to go to the extensions tab and
14:53activate them.
14:54They also have additional features like cookie consents, reading progress bar.
14:58Social sharing, and a few other features.
15:01The theme customizer for Rishi is a bit more unique and well-structured.
15:04Unlike the other themes on the list, they structure the theme by the general options, post pages,
15:10and the WordPress defaults.
15:11The header and footer builder for this theme are a bit more intuitive and user-friendly
15:15compared to Astra.
15:16You do get a lot more elements to use in the free version of this theme.
15:20The footer builder is also simple to use because it follows the same format as the header builder.
15:24The Rishi theme supports up to six tags where you can customize them independently.
15:28It also has some SEO options where you can add a separator, breadcrumbs, and a few other
15:33various basic options that you guys can mess around with.
15:36With Rishi, there's various ways on how to design the blog and the archive page.
15:40They give you four different layouts.
15:42It also allows you to adjust your page title for your blog page and change the alignment
15:46and style where you can add a blog description and fully design everything in the general
15:50options.
15:51You can also fully design the archive pages, author pages, and the search page.
15:56For the single post page, you can adjust the size of the featured image to other various
16:00sizes.
16:01You can also adjust the post meta and the title within every option.
16:05With these options, you can further customize each element, which does give Rishi a bit more
16:09customization for blogs versus other themes.
16:12Now, one template I really did like from Rishi was the affiliate marketing template.
16:16They have one demo of it where you can install a plugin and create a beautiful affiliate marketing
16:20blog post that's all ready to go.
16:22Next, let's talk about the e-commerce features.
16:26The e-commerce features with Rishi are pretty ideal.
16:28They give you various layouts like a left sidebar, right sidebar, or a full width approach for
16:33a single product page.
16:34There are some cool options like enable lightbox and also a zoom effect, but you cannot adjust
16:39the product width.
16:40To be quite frank, I didn't really see anything out of the ordinary with the e-commerce options.
16:44They do seem a bit basic.
16:46There is one cool unique feature in the extensions for the performance tab.
16:50You essentially have a built-in optimizer where you can adjust lazy load and exclude specific
16:54images from lazy load.
16:56Overall, I would say Rishi is an ideal WordPress theme for anyone building a basic website.
17:01However, I will say the Rishi theme does shine in the pro version with the advanced blogging
17:05features.
17:06They have tons of features like ad blocker, multiple author, credibility, sticky promo,
17:12affiliate disclosure, and many, many more features.
17:16The Rishi theme offers three different plans.
17:18A personal for $49, professional for $99, and agency for unlimited websites for $149.
17:25They also do offer lifetime plans that require only a one-time payment.
17:30I would give the Rishi theme a solid 10 out of 10.
17:33There are many free features available in the free version, and there's a lot more available
17:37in the pro.
17:39Hey, party people.
17:40Real quick, I just want to give you guys a quick heads up.
17:42If you guys do like a lot of these WordPress themes that we're showing you, we definitely
17:46recommend SiteGround web hosting.
17:48Now, SiteGround web hosting is among the fastest and the most reliable web hosting out there.
17:52Now, how do you guys know I'm not just lying to you, right?
17:55Well, we've actually tested SiteGround for the last six months.
17:58So here you'll see that we recorded the web host for SiteGround, and we've only had 34
18:03minutes of downtime over the course of six months with a 99.99% uptime, which is very
18:09good.
18:10Our sites also load at around 1.5 seconds with SiteGround, so you'll see here that we're
18:15monitoring the entire test speed with SiteGround.
18:17So just to know that you guys will get a fast and reliable web host with SiteGround web hosting.
18:22Now, some of these themes actually require specific PHP levels and memory limits.
18:26With SiteGround, you can adjust the PHP and also the memory limits to accommodate a lot
18:31of these WordPress themes.
18:33Now, there is a link to SiteGround in the description of this video, and if you guys do use our link
18:37to sign up with SiteGround, you guys will also get a free domain.
18:40Now, SiteGround has three different plans, and we always recommend the GrowBig plan because
18:44with this plan, you guys can host unlimited domains, which is a pretty big difference from
18:48just one single domain, right?
18:51So many of the themes that we showed you guys do require solid web hosting.
18:54So again, if you guys are using other host companies like Bluehost or iPage, we definitely
18:59recommend to make the switch to SiteGround.com.
19:02And again, you guys can use our link in the description of this video, and you will receive
19:05a free domain.
19:06With that said, let's jump back to the video.
19:09Next up, the Essentials theme.
19:12The Essentials theme is definitely one of the most underrated themes on this list.
19:15I personally use this WordPress theme on my WordPress website, and I'll explain what
19:19I like about it and why it made the list.
19:22When you first install the Essentials theme, you're greeted with a setup wizard.
19:25You'll need to choose your page builder, Elementor, or WPBakery.
19:29It also recommends to have some plugins installed, but it's not required.
19:32You're going to need to link your Picksford account with your WordPress theme in order
19:36to activate it.
19:37You can first import some of their templates on your website, and I'll be quite honest.
19:41This theme has some of the best starter templates I've ever seen on any WordPress theme design.
19:46The designs are modern, nice, and they really look professional.
19:50They really push the limits of design with this WordPress theme.
19:53To start, simply go down and pick a template.
19:56You'll then click on Import, where you can insert one of these templates directly onto
20:00your website.
20:01You simply wait a minute, and just like that, you have a brand new website.
20:05So next, let's talk about the theme options.
20:07These can be a little confusing for first-time users.
20:10On the left side, you'll see pop-ups, headers, and footers.
20:14This is essentially the theme builder where you can apply different headers on various
20:18pages.
20:19You can also import pre-made templates from Elementor in the Demo Import section under
20:24Headers.
20:25You can also build a custom header from scratch using their own header builder.
20:29Once you create it, you can assign it to various pages on your website.
20:32You can also build custom pop-ups, and it's really simple to build your own custom pop-ups
20:37from scratch.
20:38When it's created, you can also set the pop-up conditions, and they have various triggers
20:42like exit intent, show pop-up on scroll, and tons of other various options.
20:48Under the Import Demo section, there are pop-ups where you can import pop-ups with tons of
20:52various pop-ups to choose from.
20:54There are also mega menus that you can import along with portfolios, WooCommerce products,
20:59and a few other various templates.
21:01The Essentials theme comes with tons of amazing modern elements for the Elementor Page Builder,
21:05like no other plugin.
21:06What's even better, you have access to all of the blocks for all of the demo websites
21:10in your Elementor library, so you can import any section from any demo while you're building
21:15your website.
21:16The Essentials theme comes with more than 30 different elements you can use for your websites.
21:21The elements look nice and modern, and they have tons of styling options for each individual
21:26module.
21:27Next, let's explore the theme options.
21:30The theme options allow you to do the basic WordPress themes like General Requirements,
21:35Sidebars, Cookie Consents, and a few others.
21:38You can also create a custom 404 page.
21:41They also do have options where you can display a banner.
21:44This is great because if you guys are having sales, you can display this banner at the top
21:48of your website.
21:49With the Essentials theme, you'll have several different blog layouts.
21:53If you choose to use a default theme style, they also do have some really nice post styles
21:57and post layouts for your blog.
21:59Here's an example of my website using the blog module.
22:02As you can tell, it works really smooth.
22:04It looks clean and it's easy to navigate.
22:06And the Essentials theme works great for portfolios.
22:09They offer 4 different styles to present your portfolios.
22:13And the theme works for e-commerce websites.
22:15The WooCommerce options offer unique styling for your products.
22:19They offer 5 different styles for your products.
22:22As you can tell, the shop page is really clean and modern.
22:25I just like the look and feel of this e-commerce style.
22:28Here's some example shop pages and product pages.
22:31There's a lot more, but I'll let you check it out on their website.
22:34I randomly stumbled across this theme a year ago, and it felt like it has everything.
22:38It's great for blogs, great for e-commerce, and great for modern websites with these modern,
22:42amazing designs.
22:44I felt like it was a no-brainer.
22:46I would give this WordPress theme a solid 10 out of 10.
22:49The only thing I would suggest is adding a table of contents element for the blog.
22:54Very similar to the JNews theme, but overall, it's an amazing WordPress theme.
22:58Next up, the Divi theme.
23:00The Divi theme has been one of the most popular WordPress themes in the industry for quite
23:04some time, and with good reason.
23:06The Divi theme has its own visual drag-and-drop page builder, and most beginners can learn how
23:10to use this right away.
23:12When I first started using WordPress, I mainly used Divi to build my websites.
23:16The funny part, back then they didn't have a visual builder.
23:18But as time went on, they developed their own visual builder.
23:21The Divi theme also comes with more than 1,700 templates, which is just staggering.
23:26So what makes the Divi theme so good?
23:28Well, let's talk about it.
23:30Now before we go into this theme, the pricing for this theme is incredible, and I think
23:33this is why it's chosen among the community.
23:36You can get lifetime access for unlimited domains, or $249, which makes it an ideal theme for
23:42any web designer in the industry.
23:45When you first install Divi, you'll need to activate your license.
23:47This is not required to use the builder, but it is required to get access to their templates.
23:52When you create a page, you'll first be prompted to start from scratch, import a premade templates,
23:57or clone a website.
23:58You first start by selecting how many columns you want.
24:01Then you click on the plus icon and select a module.
24:04When you select a module, there'll be three different styling tabs.
24:06The Content tab, the Design tab, and the Advanced tab, and this is universal for all elements.
24:12You simply add in an element, adjust it to your liking, and then you just keep adding in elements.
24:16The key difference with Divi versus Other Page Builder is there is no left sidebar, so
24:20it's a bit easier to get a visual representation of how you want your website to look in real
24:25time.
24:26So here you can add icons, you can add backgrounds, and also import your own images and get total
24:30freedom to build your websites.
24:34There are a lot of amazing features that come with the Divi theme like copy and paste, find
24:38and replace, and other amazing features in order to speed up the design of your website.
24:43I can't cover all of the features this theme offers, but I do have a dedicated tutorial
24:47on Divi, and I'll leave that in the description below of this video.
24:50Once you are done designing your website, you can click on the save icon and your website
24:54is published.
24:55Divi also has its own theme builder, WooCommerce builder, and dynamic content.
24:59With the theme builder, you can create custom headers and footers on various parts of the website.
25:04You can also create your own shop page using Divi from the ground up.
25:08And the Divi theme also has its own product builder where you can build products from scratch
25:11using the Divi builder.
25:13You can also set conditions like all products, specific categories, or just one product.
25:18I do like this theme builder because I feel like the interface is simple and easy to learn,
25:22and it's really organized.
25:24Going back to the templates, Divi has more than 230 template kits available with more than 1700
25:29template pages.
25:30They also do have a design initiative where I believe they make two template kits every
25:34single month.
25:35The Divi theme has everything.
25:36It's simple to use drag and drop builder, a theme builder, blog post builder, WooCommerce
25:41builder, and a visual builder that most beginners can adopt right away.
25:45When you purchase Divi, you also get access to the Bloom plugin and the Monarch plugin.
25:49This plugin is a great email capture form, and the Monarch plugin is a social sharing plugin.
26:01I would give this theme a solid 10 out of 10.
26:03I think the future is very bright for this theme, and as they develop and stabilize the
26:07theme, it's only going to get better.
26:10Next Hello Elementor with the Brizzy page builder.
26:13Now the next one is sort of a crossbreed between the Hello Elementor theme, which is basically
26:17a blank canvas theme.
26:19Then we have Brizzy, which basically acts as a theme.
26:22The Brizzy page builder is definitely one of the most user-friendly builders for WordPress.
26:26With a variety of blocks, it makes making a website so simple.
26:29When you first install Brizzy, all you need to do is create a new page.
26:33Once you create a page, you can simply insert a block.
26:35There are two different kits for the blocks.
26:38They also come in a light scheme and also a dark scheme mode.
26:42When you select a block, you can simply click on the element and then design it.
26:45Brizzy also offers various elements.
26:47You can take these elements and drag them anywhere you want on your website.
26:51You can then design them, style them, click on update, and that's it.
26:54Your whole page is made.
26:56You can also create custom headers and footers on your website.
26:59In the free version, you'll need to click on a row and make it global, and then just
27:02add it to every page.
27:04In the pro version, you'll be able to set the condition on the entire website.
27:08I actually recommended this same builder to my friend's girlfriend for her accounting
27:12business, and within one hour she had her website up and ready.
27:15On the left side, you'll be able to reorder the blocks on your website, and this will actually
27:19adjust and change your websites.
27:22You can also change the current styling to different styles to get a better idea of what
27:26you want for your websites.
27:27It also has a few options like a role manager, maintenance mode, an area to save templates,
27:33and a few other options, but I'll be saving that for a whole other video.
27:36I would give the Hello Elementor theme a solid 7 out of 10.
27:39It's just a blank canvas for the page builder to do all of the work.
27:43I would give Brizzy a solid 8 out of 10.
27:46The Brizzy page builder development has been slow, but it still reigns as one of the most
27:50popular page builders in the WordPress community.
27:53Next up, Bloxy.
27:54Bloxy is a great multi-purpose theme.
27:57It works with all page builders like Elementor, and especially Gutenberg.
28:01When you first start with Bloxy, you'll be prompted to install the Bloxy Companion.
28:05This gives you access to the starter sites, extensions, and other useful plugins.
28:10Bloxy does also offer various starter templates for the Elementor page builder, Brizzy, and
28:14Gutenberg that range from basic websites to blogs to e-commerce websites.
28:19The Bloxy theme customizer is in a really nice clean format.
28:22They have a section for general options, post types, pages, and core.
28:27It also comes with a dark mode, which is pretty helpful.
28:30Bloxy does have many unique layouts where you can adjust the max size width, and the content
28:34area spacing, and also the narrow container width in the free version.
28:38You can also adjust the buttons and design them in the general options.
28:41And it does also have options for breadcrumbs.
28:43What's cool is Bloxy generates its own breadcrumbs right on the blog page, making it visible and
28:47easier to customize.
28:48It also has features like scroll to top, and a really cool feature is the website frame,
28:53which allows you to add a frame on your website and adjust it in other various colors.
28:58Bloxy has a simple-to-use header builder where you can drag the elements onto your header builder.
29:02If you want to customize an element, simply click on the elements.
29:06This is where you can have all the design options for each element.
29:09It also comes with canvas mode, where you can design and customize your headers for mobile
29:13devices.
29:14For the Bloxy theme, you can design the background and style for each row.
29:17You can give each row a specific background color, a transparent state, or even a gradient
29:22color.
29:23The footer with Bloxy also works the same as the header, making it pretty simple to learn.
29:28The blogging features with Bloxy is where this theme tends to shine.
29:31It has a beautiful format and also a really nice sidebar that you can customize with four
29:36different styles.
29:37You can also adjust the post structure with four different layouts.
29:41You can choose a wide layout or box.
29:43You can also hide specific elements on the blog page as well.
29:47Bloxy does also offer two different post title styles.
29:50But I think type 1 is more ideal.
29:53The second type, you might need to find an image that really fits the background.
29:56Bloxy has several different page structures, making it ideal for all page builders where
30:00you can choose narrow, normal, left sidebar, and a right sidebar.
30:05Bloxy also has unique features that allow you to design the author page.
30:09This is great if you have multiple authors.
30:11Bloxy does also have a special extension for affiliate marketing.
30:14They have a special feature called the product reviews.
30:17This enables you to generate reviews for products.
30:20Bloxy will auto-generate a template with custom post types that make it really easy to add reviews
30:25for any product.
30:28And lastly, the WooCommerce features.
30:30The Bloxy theme does have several different styles on how to display your products.
30:34You can adjust the rows, columns, or at a sidebar.
30:38It also gives you two different titles for your product pages and the single product page.
30:43You can also hide features like the reviews, star rating, meta, and a few others.
30:48The Bloxy theme also comes with a really nice login page for your customers.
30:53The Bloxy theme is a great multi-purpose theme for any type of website, whether you're running
30:58a normal website, an e-commerce website, or a blog.
31:02There are some notable features in the pro version, but I think I'll save that for another
31:05video.
31:06Bloxy does have really good pricing.
31:08You can purchase the HD plan for unlimited websites for $100 a year.
31:12It also offers lifetime plans just in case you don't want to be stuck on a subscription.
31:17I would give the Bloxy theme a solid 10 out of 10.
31:19It offers so much in the free version, and it's a multi-purpose theme for any type of
31:23website.
31:25Next up, the Elementor Royal Kits.
31:27If you guys like to use the Elementor page builder, then this theme might be for you.
31:31This theme is 100% dedicated only to Elementor.
31:35In fact, they don't have any theme customization options except for the basic defaults for this
31:39theme.
31:40So let's explore this theme a bit and see why it's different.
31:42Now when you first install the theme, you'll be prompted to install their plugin, the Royal
31:46Elementor add-on plugin.
31:47This essentially gives you all the features, and it also integrates with the theme.
31:51When you first install the theme, you'll be able to search various elements and template
31:54kits.
31:55They have about 30 kits, and they look pretty good.
31:57These are fully completed websites that you can import on your websites.
32:00The Elementor Royal Kits also comes with 50 plus new elements for the Elementor page builder.
32:05Some of these are available in the pro version of Elementor, and others are unique like an
32:09Instagram feed or image hotspot.
32:12When using Elementor, you'll have access to import pages and blocks with the Elementor page builder.
32:17Many of these are in the pro version, but there are still a good amount you can use in the
32:20free version.
32:22One noticeable feature in the style section is the ability to add particles and parallax
32:26to every background.
32:28This allows you to make some creative landing pages using these elements.
32:32In the advanced tab, you'll be able to use the sticky section to make any element sticky.
32:37You can also use custom CSS using the Royal Add-ons plugin.
32:40Now what makes this theme really unique?
32:42Well, it's their own custom theme builder.
32:44You'll be able to make custom headers, custom footers, custom archive pages, custom single
32:49post pages, custom product pages, and custom shop pages all using the free theme builder.
32:55However, if you want specific conditions for each section, then you'll need to upgrade
32:59to the pro.
33:00If you're not familiar with the theme builder, the theme builder allows you to build custom
33:03parts of the website and display them with specific conditions.
33:06The theme builder overrides the theme settings, allowing you to add any section you want on
33:10your website.
33:11This is great because it doesn't limit you to the basic WordPress defaults and helps
33:15you get more creative when you build your website.
33:17While creating a custom header, you'll also have the option to create a mega menu using
33:20all of the elements or elements in the free version of this WordPress theme.
33:24As far as WooCommerce goes, the theme builder also supports creating custom product pages from
33:28scratch.
33:29You'll have a list of elements where you can design the shop page or any page you would like
33:33using the custom elements.
33:34You'll have a list of elements where you can design the shop page or single product
33:38page using the custom elements.
33:40However, you can only have one in the free version.
33:42If you want multiple product pages, then you'll need to upgrade to the pro.
33:45You'll also be able to make your own custom popups in the free version of this WordPress
33:49theme.
33:50However, if you want specific conditions, you'll also need to upgrade to the pro.
33:54The pro version does come with many extra features at your disposal.
33:57It comes with more than 90 plus elements for the Elementor page builder.
34:00It also lets you use the theme builder on all aspects of your website and gives you access
34:04to the conditions.
34:06It also comes with other various extensions that are only included in the pro version.
34:10The pro version is fairly affordable.
34:12You can get the pro version for $30 a year or $60 for a lifetime.
34:16I would give this theme a solid 8 out of 10.
34:18I do like the idea behind this theme.
34:20However, some might argue they are hijacking the Elementor page builder, which could be an
34:24issue for some.
34:25All right, party people.
34:26So what did you guys think of the top 10 list?
34:28Let me know.
34:29I want to hear it.
34:30Also, we do have some honorable mentions and some themes that I wanted to mention, but I
34:35felt like didn't deserve the list.
34:37One of them was the Neve theme.
34:39The Neve theme has always been a pretty solid theme, but they really haven't added anything
34:43inside of their theme.
34:44In fact, over the entire year, they only added in one noticeable feature.
34:49So it's hard for me to say that's the best theme.
34:51It is a solid theme, but I wouldn't put it in the category of the best.
34:55And the second honorable mention is the Cadence theme.
34:59Now the reason why Cadence didn't make the list is because it is pretty much the same
35:03thing as the Bloxy theme.
35:05Now I know I'm going to get a lot of heat from the Cadence community, but if you look
35:08at Cadence and Bloxy, there is literally no difference.
35:12It's very hard to find where these teams differ.
35:14So when Cadence came out, it looked like just a watered down version of Bloxy.
35:18I do believe that Cadence got too much inspiration from the Bloxy theme.
35:23I mean, I think they got a lot of inspiration from the Bloxy theme.
35:26So in this case, I would definitely just go with the Bloxy theme and that's my position
35:30on that.
35:31Okay.
35:32And the third honorable mention is the green shift theme.
35:35Now the green shift theme is a block-based theme for Gutenberg.
35:39Now the theme actually has its own builder and it has a lot of really cool block-based
35:43elements unlike any other builder.
35:45And it was neck and neck with Spectra 1 to be honest.
35:48But while I was using the theme, I was getting a lot of fatal errors and PHP problems.
35:52Now, this could have just been an isolated incident right with me and my other plugins,
35:57but it was consistent and I couldn't recommend it as the best theme if I ran into some fatal
36:02error problems.
36:03So again, it could have just been an isolated incident, but if you guys do use Gutenberg,
36:07you guys can always check out the green shift theme.
36:10Now this last honorable mention, I know I'm gonna get a lot of heat from, from the community.
36:14And this is the bricks theme.
36:16Now I tested out the bricks theme.
36:17I really tried it out and I tested the elements.
36:20I tried to use the page builder.
36:22The problem with the bricks theme is that it's just not intuitive enough for the average
36:25web designer.
36:26I think this tool is specifically for web developers who want to edit the CSS and the div lines and
36:32move it around.
36:33But for the average user on WordPress, I don't think it's a suitable option, but it is a very
36:38cool tool.
36:39If you guys are a developer, you can do a lot of really cool creative things with it
36:43versus like Elementor.
36:45But for the average user and the beginner with WordPress, I would not recommend it.
36:49But if you are an experienced WordPress user or you're a developer, it is worth checking
36:54out.
36:55All right, party people.
36:56Well, I hope this video brought a lot of value to you guys.
36:58This video took me quite a bit of time to make, you know, I had to open up each WordPress
37:02theme.
37:03I had to screen record it.
37:05I had to write down the script as I was like, you know, writing a, you know, learning all the
37:08features and stuff.
37:09So I hope this video did bring a lot of value to you guys.
37:12Well until then, make sure to stay safe and I will see all of you party people in the next
37:16video guys.
37:17Take care.
