I’ve been thinking about moving my entire website over to WordPress lately, mainly because it would be nice if I could get someone else to do some edits now and then for me, and I can’t decide whether I need to get a pro theme or not.
I’ve checked out both Thesis and Studiopress themes since they are the popular ones, and they do indeed look great, but I wonder if a regular free theme would suffice? I do have a “coding” background and I can often sneak into the back end of things and make what I want to happen actually happen. But not many other people will be able to, which brings me back again to getting someone to do some edits etc. for me. And I do know that with the pro themes there is support available, and that’s always a good thing.
What is the general consensus? Free theme or Pro theme?
I’d love to hear everyone else’s opinions…
Sarah,
As you already know I’m an advocated for WordPress. I love the platform,the clean aspect of it, and the ease to update and manage the site.
While there are great free themes out there, I’m huge fan of Thesis, I love the ability to customize it to anything you want. The ease in which you can customize it and how friendly it is for the search engine. I prefer Thesis for the simple fact that it makes it easier for me to do my job and I don’t have to worry about going into the background to make an coding changes if I don’t want to…
My two bits….
