Free vs Paid WordPress Theme

 Programing Coderfunda     June 16, 2021     Wordpress, wordpress-tutorial     No comments   

 

Free vs Paid WordPress Theme

As you already know there are two types of WordPress themes, one is paid (premium) and other one is free. Both are from WordPress community but they possess some differences in their functionality. For some users free themes may be suitable and for some users premium themes may be suitable. It all depends upon their need. A huge number of WordPress themes are available as free but still people go for premium themes. There are multiple reasons why one should go for paid one.

Let's have a look on some of the functions of free as well as premium themes. It will help you in choosing a theme for you.


Cost

Free themes of course as name suggests are absolutely free. You can use them any time without any money.

For premium you have to pay. Its range starts from $1000 which varies depending upon the designing of theme. It is good when you are earning enough from your site but if you are using your site just as a hobby then it may cost you a lot.


Quality

If you want your site at a good rank then you need to improve its quality.

Free theme will not make your site unique. Same theme will be used by other sites because it is free for everyone.

To make your site unique go for the premium one. There are some other qualities which need to be fulfilled. Like your site has to be responsive and should support different browsers. Free theme is not guaranteed to provide these qualities.


Support

In free themes if you need any type of help, you have to search for help and ask on forums. If someone will be willing then you may get your answer but it will take some time.

Premium themes designer offer some support system. You will get timely support from reliable developers. Your problem will be solved very quickly.


Update

WordPress is constantly updated in every few months, so your themes and plugins need to be compatible with the updated version.

Free themes may not be updated regularly. If you are using a free theme and an updated version comes, then you have two options. Either don't update your site or install a new them. Both the options are not right.

Premium theme developers update it on a regular basis to make it compatible with the new WordPress version. So if you are using a premium theme, then it is the responsibility of company to update it. You don't have to worry about it.


SEO

SEO plays an important role in the ranking of your website. It is important for your site to have an SEO options and clean code.

In free themes there are many structural bugs and they don't provide inbuilt SEO options.

Premium themes provide better coding which helps to load your site faster.


Features

Theme developers have to offer latest features for their customers according to the trend.

Free themes provide limited features. Their developers do not update their theme. They are more compatible to the plugins than premium themes.

Premium theme developers provide latest features and much more functionality than free themes. They provide an easy user interface that allows users to make any type of changes in the design of their site.


Encrypted Links

In free themes there are some unwanted links in the footer area. These links are irrelevant from the content of your website. It seriously affects the SEO of your site.

Free themes developers add some links at the footer of their themes which is very annoying.


Security

Security should be of a high level in order to prevent your site. wordPress provides a better security by updating it every few months. An out dated theme may cause a lot of security issues.

Free themes generally have high security threat.

On the other hand, premium themes give high security standards to their customers.

WordPress Themes

With the help of WordPress theme, you can design the layout and appearance of your website in the front-end.

When WordPress is installed, it has a pre-installed theme which is very simple and unattractive. But no one wants a website to be that much simple. To make it more attractive one can install and apply different themes from WordPress.

Themes provide a style (including font styling), colors, page layouts, widget positions, etc. You can change the theme of your site without changing the content of the site. Themes provide a unique look to your site.

Types of WordPress theme

There are thousands of themes available on the WordPress. Some are free and some are paid. You can choose a theme according to your choice.

Free

WordPress provides many good looking themes absolutely free in the WordPress theme directory. If you are using your site for a small audience or yourself, go for free one. Because there are some chances that same theme is being used by another site.

Premium

Premium themes may cost you starting from $1,000. Prize varies depending upon the design and requirement of your site.

One advantage in premium themes is that they provide a reliable code base and offer support. It gives you a more enhanced security.

How to make a WordPress theme

Building a WordPress theme is somewhat technical work. To build a theme you should have a little knowledge about the following development languages.

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • PHP
  • Database

You should know how to use a web server.

Selecting WordPress Theme

WordPress theme should be selected very wisely, so that it perfectly fits on your site. You can select any one either paid or free. It should be complemented to your site.

Themes affect a website in a lot of way. Heavy themes which look great may slow down your website and Google will degrade its ranking. If a theme is not coded properly, it becomes difficult to add any plugin or change that theme.

Theme selection is very important as everything for your website depends upon theme.

Given below are some of the points which may help the users to select a theme for their website.

Look for Simplicity

Your website should look good, but for that you shouldn't compromise with your site's functionality. Theme styling should not be complicated. Complexity will make things difficult for your users. All you need is a good theme, so don't go for an attractive one compromising your users.

Responsive

Your theme should be compatible with all type of screen sizes. A large number of traffic generates from devices other than laptops and PCs. Google also gives better ranking to the responsive sites. Lot of themes is by default responsive but still there are some themes which are not responsive. So look for a theme which is responsive to make your website accessible by all device users.

Browser Support

Make sure the theme you select is supported by all the browsers. Before selecting it, test it on different browsers for mobiles as well as laptops like Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox.

Plugin Support

Plugins are very important for a WordPress site. They enhance the functionality of your site. Make sure that your selected theme must support all the popular plugins.

Multilingual Support

Your theme should support multilingual to support different languages for users.

Help Option

Only some developers provide support option with free themes, not all. So, if you messed up with your site then you may have to solve it on your own. So rather than facing all these problems, you should better choose a theme which has a good documentation and support help option.

SEO Friendliness

To increase your site performance on search engines, choose a theme which is SEO friendly. Many theme developers will let you know whether their theme is SEO friendly or not.

Ratings and Reviews

Before downloading a theme, have a look on its rating and reviews. A theme has both good and bad reviews, but if there are more negative reviews then read it carefully and consider it once again.
