Free vs Paid WordPress Theme

There are a lot of Free WordPress theme that is available online, but as I used more and more of the Free WordPress themes, you come to a point where everything is pretty common and all used up. When you check websites online, you’ll find that not everyone is comfortable in spending money for a WordPress theme. But I must say that paid WordPress themes are way better than the free ones…

… WordPress themes are known to be free, but as always, you do get what you pay for. What you’ll find is that if you pay for a theme, the designs and layouts are definitely way more advanced.

One thing I like about the Paid WordPress theme is that you definitely have a wider selection with a more professional look and feel to it. What’s also nice is the functionality that they’ve added to the theme, where they even make a theme option in the admin to allow you to customize without coding. The developers are also involved in the support forum where you can ask questions and anything relating to the theme. Updates are also free, so when a new version comes out, you get it for free. The overall look and feel of the website becomes new, there will be times that you won’t even feel that it is a WordPress based Website. The most obvious disadvantage is that you’ll be spending at least $50 or more (especially if its for multiple sites), but if you know how to make money, you’ll get it back in a very short period of time.

I’m starting to like paid wordpress theme, instead of tweaking for hours, I get more time on fixing the ads and focusing on ad placements. With my minisites, I get back what I paid for in a month or 2 for the website I place it on.
