the comments below and with that said 00:01:45.000 let's take a look at the top 10 best 00:01:46.799 WordPress themes first up the spectro 00:01:49.640 one theme if you are using the Gutenberg 00:01:51.719 editor or you've always wanted to try it 00:01:53.960 this is a good theme to start with along 00:01:55.640 with the Spectra one plugin that the 00:01:57.520 theme recommends the theme does its best 00:01:59.880 to simplify the design process with the 00:02:01.640 Gutenberg page builder I'll be honest 00:02:03.799 I'm not a big fan of Gutenberg but this 00:02:05.680 theme and Builder definitely streamline 00:02:07.240 the process to make it easier when you 00:02:09.199 first install the theme it recommends to 00:02:10.919 install the Spectra Builder which is a 00:02:13.120 plug-in this gives you access to the 00:02:15.280 columns rows and all the elements that 00:02:17.519 correlate with the theme before going to 00:02:19.519 the page editor in the Spectre section 00:02:21.800 you can enable specific block extensions 00:02:23.840 in the settings they also have various 00:02:26.400 other options like templates Version 00:02:28.599 Control performance performance 00:02:30.599 Integrations and a few other features 00:02:32.920 when you first go to the editor you'll 00:02:34.519 see different design options like 00:02:36.080 navigational Styles Pages templates and 00:02:38.920 also patterns there'll be options for 00:02:41.239 the template and the blocks the Spectra 00:02:43.080 one plugin also offers a scroll to top 00:02:45.000 feature on the right side the Spectra 00:02:46.959 theme comes with a list of patterns and 00:02:48.640 styles you can use for your website here 00:02:50.720 is a list of some elements like the post 00:02:53.000 Carousel the marketing button and 00:02:55.200 various other elements you can add in 00:02:57.400 the pattern section this is where you 00:02:58.920 can have access to more of the templates 00:03:00.599 that come with Spectra here I'll insert 00:03:02.480 a hero Banner then I can change the 00:03:04.239 width to make sure it's full width and 00:03:05.840 on the right side this is where the 00:03:07.319 Spectra one theme comes into play here 00:03:10.159 under the settings tab you can adjust 00:03:11.640 the layout on the section such as the 00:03:13.360 contents and also the width of the 00:03:14.959 section you can also adjust the 00:03:16.680 justification of the elements in the 00:03:18.360 block there are also some responsive 00:03:20.599 settings that allow you to hide specific 00:03:22.280 sections for specific devices this is 00:03:24.680 very similar to the Elementor page 00:03:26.040 builder you can also make specific 00:03:27.959 blocks sticky right under here under the 00:03:29.760 the positions tab by clicking on the 00:03:31.239 sticky section this will make specific 00:03:33.239 blocks sticky within the editor and for 00:03:35.439 those developers who want a little bit 00:03:36.920 more in detail there are some other 00:03:38.560 options to change the HTML elements for 00:03:40.519 the Block near the bottom of the options 00:03:42.480 they also do have display conditions 00:03:44.159 that allow specific users operating 00:03:46.599 systems browsers systems to see specific 00:03:49.760 blocks in the editor on the Styles tab 00:03:52.159 there are several options to change the 00:03:53.560 color text and also the background of 00:03:55.480 the block it also showcases a small 00:03:57.680 topography section where you can control 00:03:59.319 the font F within the block and also 00:04:01.239 adjust the dimension for the block 00:04:02.680 settings the Spectra 1 theme does offer 00:04:05.120 various unique blocks and styles for 00:04:06.760 your websites creating a website with 00:04:08.599 the spectral one plugin is pretty simple 00:04:10.879 you simply insert a pattern then you can 00:04:12.879 adjust the width and keep going as usual 00:04:15.159 you can also make the menu transparent 00:04:17.079 and also sticky there is definitely a 00:04:18.798 learning curve with the Gutenberg page 00:04:20.358 builder but the Spectra one theme does 00:04:22.320 its best to bridge the gap to make it 00:04:24.040 easier for all users who want to use 00:04:25.759 Gutenberg as their default page builder 00:04:28.280 I don't think there is a provision for 00:04:29.639 this theme just yet however there is an 00:04:31.759 option to upgrade the Spectra 1 plugin 00:04:34.039 which gives you access to the pop-up 00:04:35.560 Builder Loop Builder and also Dynamic 00:04:37.840 Contents I would give this theme a solid 00:04:40.120 eight out of 10 it's very helpful when 00:04:42.280 building websites with Gutenberg but I 00:04:44.199 would like to see more features in the 00:04:45.600 future next up is the Ohio theme the 00:04:48.600 Ohio theme hands down is one of the most 00:04:50.560 creative and modernized WordPress themes 00:04:52.320 on this entire list it truly shines as 00:04:54.400 something different and creative that 00:04:55.919 you can showcase your projects 00:04:57.520 portfolios or just bring a modern twist 00:05:00.000 to your websites the theme has elements 00:05:02.320 and styles unlike any other WordPress 00:05:04.240 theme on this entire list it also comes 00:05:06.520 with several demos that look stunning 00:05:08.360 that are unique for showcasing projects 00:05:10.280 or portfolios so let's take a look at it 00:05:12.960 when you first download and install the 00:05:14.280 Ohio theme you're greeted with a 00:05:15.720 dashboard where you can look at the 00:05:17.160 registration system status and a few 00:05:19.520 other support articles you can also go 00:05:21.400 over to the demo

theme is mainly 00:05:30.560 geared for portfolios and projects but 00:05:32.680 you can pretty much use it for anything 00:05:34.400 like a blog or even at e-commerce 00:05:36.319 websites the theme settings with Ohio 00:05:38.520 can be a little clustered at first it'll 00:05:40.280 take time to get used to it each option 00:05:42.479 has tabs such as the topography menu the 00:05:45.240 header the footer and so on and so forth 00:05:48.680 the options with this theme are 00:05:49.840 extremely robust there are tons of 00:05:51.720 features for each specific section the 00:05:54.000 one

00:06:01.720 course it has all the basic options like 00:06:03.720 page layouts logo upload and all the 00:06:06.440 basic necessary options you need for a 00:06:08.400 WordPress theme what's interesting about 00:06:10.479 this theme well it sort of has a theme 00:06:12.520 Builder you can assign specific headers 00:06:14.319 and Footers for each individual page or 00:06:16.800 categories like blogs posts and shops 00:06:19.400 but you can't create one from scratch 00:06:21.039 not unless you're using Elementor Pro 00:06:23.440 for each page and section there are 00:06:24.960 options to enable preloaders and dark 00:06:27.039 toggle mode and also a color mode 00:06:29.039 Switcher 00:06:30.440 what's really awesome about the color 00:06:31.759 mode switcher is you can actually make 00:06:33.479 the light and dark mode switch to any 00:06:35.080 color that you want in the theme options 00:06:36.919 in the color mode section all you need 00:06:39.080 to do is change the dark mode background 00:06:41.160 color to any desired color that you'd 00:06:43.080 like then when you go to the light and 00:06:45.199 dark mode it'll then be the new color 00:06:47.160 that you selected in the theme 00:06:49.240 options the Ohio theme comes with five 00:06:51.720 different blog post layouts that you can 00:06:53.520 apply for each individual blog post you 00:06:55.960 can also make

websites I would 00:11:20.519 give this WordPress theme a solid 9 out 00:11:22.480 of 10 the only thing it's really lacking 00:11:24.639 is the copyright for the images in the 00:11:26.480 demo importer and it should offer a 00:11:28.399 little bit more templates however 00:11:30.160 upgrading to the pro would solve all 00:11:31.760 these problems next up the Astro theme 00:11:34.720 the Astro theme is the most popular 00:11:36.200 WordPress theme on wordpress.org asra is 00:11:38.800 known for having more than 250 templates 00:11:41.360 that you can easily import on your 00:11:42.639

00:11:51.399 in the general options to enable the 00:11:53.000 brzy templates I'm not sure why they did 00:11:54.839 this the theme comes with a robust 00:11:56.760 header and footer Builder that's really 00:11:58.240 simple to use 00:11:59.480 it allows you to drag and drop elements 00:12:00.959 to build out your header and footer plus 00:12:02.800 it offers the canvis mode where you can

allow you to globally 00:12:26.800 change all the buttons on your websites 00:12:29.000 it offers a scroll to top feature and a 00:12:30.959 few other features like spacing for 00:12:32.360 Gutenberg and smooth scroll Astra also 00:12:35.079 comes with several different container 00:12:36.480 options for Pages posts blog pages and 00:12:39.360 archive Pages which allow you to add 00:12:41.240 different container layouts for each 00:12:42.720 page next let's talk about the blogging 00:12:44.680 features Astra does have some options 00:12:47.040 for the blog page and post page you can 00:12:49.320 hide elements or show them like the 00:12:51.279 comments categories authors date and 00:12:54.519 time which is pretty cool however it 00:12:57.079 really lacks as far as design Astra only 00:12:59.440 offers one blog layout that doesn't 00:13:01.079 really look that nice the single post 00:13:02.920 page is also very generic and there's no 00:13:04.720 way you can adjust the image size in the 00:13:06.360 free version leaving you with a pretty 00:13:08.399 large featured image my honest opinion I 00:13:10.600 never like the look of Astra for the 00:13:12.160 blogging features I do think there are 00:13:13.720 better options out there but it still 00:13:15.600 does provide a solid foundation for 00:13:17.199 beginner bloggers and lastly let's talk 00:13:19.920 about the e-commerce features the 00:13:21.839 e-commerce features with Astra are 00:13:23.360 pretty basic the theme customizer allows 00:13:25.360 you to fully adjust the shot Page by 00:13:27.079 adding in rows columns changing the 00:13:29.639 width and showing and hiding in elements 00:13:31.880 such as the price or reviews The Single 00:13:34.320 product page is a bit limited you can 00:13:36.279 adjust the container layout and sidebar 00:13:38.199 but that's pretty much it it's not a bad 00:13:40.120 option for those getting started with an 00:13:41.639 e-commerce website the Astro theme 00:13:43.839 pricing offers an annual and lifetime 00:13:45.880 plan the templates and Astro Pro are 00:13:47.920 sold separately the basic Astro Pro Plan 00:13:50.480 gives you access to only Astro Pro if 00:13:52.800 you want the templates with Astro Pro 00:13:54.720 you'll need to purchase the essential 00:13:56.000 plan if you want all the Astro plugins 00:13:58.240 the theme and the templates you can go 00:14:00.000 with the growth bundle and this will 00:14:01.560 also give you access to all of astra's 00:14:03.440 future products I do have a discount for 00:14:05.519 all these plans and I'll leave that in 00:14:07.000 the description below of this video I 00:14:08.800 would give the Astro theme a solid 8 out 00:14:10.600 of 10 the code quality is stable and 00:14:12.600 reliable it's also a fast lightweight 00:14:14.560 theme that's good for SEO as far as 00:14:16.759 feature goes I think Astra does fall 00:14:18.519 short in this 00:14:19.680 category next up Rishi now before I talk 00:14:22.959 about this WordPress theme I just want 00:14:24.399 to let you guys know that this was 00:14:25.759 recently removed from wordpress.org a 00:14:27.519 few months ago apparently there was some 00:14:29.240 drama but you can still download the 00:14:30.680 WordPress theme for free on their 00:14:32.240 websites so let's talk about it when you 00:14:34.759 first install the REI theme you can 00:14:36.320 import some of their starter templates 00:14:38.079 they offer around 25 templates ranging 00:14:40.199 from agencies software companies 00:14:42.480 photography websites or digital 00:14:44.160 marketing you can import just one page 00:14:46.279 or you can import the entire pack on 00:14:47.839 your website making it really convenient 00:14:49.759 in order to access all the features with 00:14:51.199 Reet you'll need to go to the extensions 00:14:52.920 Tab and activate them and they also have 00:14:54.680 additional features like cookie consent 00:14:57.079 reading progress bar so social sharing 00:14:59.480 and a few other features the theme 00:15:01.440 customizer for Rishi is a bit more 00:15:03.160 unique and well structured unlike the 00:15:05.000 other themes on the list they structure 00:15:06.880 the theme by the general options post 00:15:09.160 pages and the WordPress defaults the 00:15:11.480 header and footer builder for this theme 00:15:12.880 are a bit more intuitive and user 00:15:14.399 friendly compared to Astra you do get a 00:15:17.079 lot more elements to use in the free 00:15:18.519 version of this theme the footer Builder 00:15:20.720 is also simple to use because it follows 00:15:22.519 the same format as the header Builder 00:15:24.560 the REI theme supports up to six tags 00:15:26.480 where you can customize them 00:15:27.600 independently it also has some SEO 00:15:29.800 options where you can add a separator 00:15:31.720 breadcrumbs and a few other various 00:15:33.800 basic options that you guys can mess 00:15:35.399 around with with reishi there's various 00:15:37.800 ways on how to design the blog and the 00:15:39.680 archive page they give you four 00:15:41.319 different layouts it also allows you to 00:15:43.480 adjust your page title for your blog 00:15:45.040 page and change the alignment and style 00:15:47.199 where you can add a Blog description and 00:15:48.920 fully design everything in the general 00:15:50.600 options you can also fully design the 00:15:52.880 archive Pages author pages and the 00:15:55.079 search page for the single post page you 00:15:57.319 can adjust the size of the feature your 00:15:58.759 image to other various sizes you can 00:16:00.680 also adjust the post meta and the title 00:16:03.399 within every option with these options 00:16:05.720 you can further customize each element 00:16:07.839 which does give Rishi a bit more 00:16:09.240 customization for blogs versus other 00:16:11.440 themes now one template I really did 00:16:13.639 like from Rishi was the affiliate 00:16:15.199 marketing template they have one demo of 00:16:17.319 it where you can install a plugin and 00:16:18.720 create a beautiful affiliate marketing 00:16:20.120 blog post that's all ready to go next 00:16:23.120 let's talk about the e-commerce features 00:16:25.800 the e-commerce features with Rishi are 00:16:27.560 pretty ideal they give you various 00:16:29.440 layouts like a left side bar right side 00:16:31.440 bar or a full with approach for a single 00:16:33.360 product page there are some cool options 00:16:35.600 like enable light box and also a zoom 00:16:37.600 effect but you cannot adjust the product 00:16:39.680 width to be quite Frank I didn't really 00:16:41.880 see anything out of the ordinary with 00:16:43.399 the newcommerce options they do seem a 00:16:45.240 bit basic there is one cool unique 00:16:47.160 feature in the extensions for the 00:16:48.759 performance tab you essentially have a 00:16:50.680 built-in Optimizer where you can adjust 00:16:52.519 lazy load and exclude specific images 00:16:54.560 from lazy load overall I would say Rishi 00:16:57.319 is an ideal WordPress theme theme for 00:16:58.839 anyone building a basic website however 00:17:01.600 I will say the REI theme does shine in 00:17:03.440 the pro version with the advanced 00:17:04.839 blogging features they have tons of 00:17:06.599 features like ad blocker multiple author 00:17:09.959 credibility sticky promo affiliate 00:17:13.319 disclosure and many many more features 00:17:16.559 the reishi theme offers three different 00:17:18.119 plans a personal for $49 professional 00:17:21.039 for $99 and agency for unlimited 00:17:23.640 websites for 00:17:25.079 $149 they also do offer lifetime plans 00:17:27.839 that require only a onetime payment I 00:17:30.400 would give the Rishi theme a solid 10 00:17:32.200 out of 10 there are many free features 00:17:34.240 available in the free version and 00:17:35.760 there's a lot more available in the 00:17:38.120 Pro hey party people real quick I just 00:17:40.600 want to give you guys a quick heads up 00:17:42.679 if you guys do like a lot of these 00:17:44.080 WordPress teams that we're showing you 00:17:45.600 we definitely recommend cyron web 00:17:47.320 hosting now cyr web hosting is among the 00:17:50.000 fastest and the most reliable web 00:17:51.480 hosting out there now how do you guys 00:17:53.280 know I'm not just lying to you right 00:17:55.280 well we've actually tested cyron for the 00:17:57.200 last 6 months so here you'll see that we 00:17:59.400 recorded the web host for pyr and we've 00:18:02.640 only had 34 minutes of downtime over the 00:18:04.919 course of 6 months with a 00:18:07.200 99.99% up time which is very good our 00:18:10.520 sites also load at around 1.5 seconds 00:18:13.320 with syr so you'll see here that we're 00:18:14.960 modering the entire test speed with 00:18:16.480 cyron so just to know that you guys will 00:18:18.640 get a fast and reliable web post with 00:18:20.960 cyron web hosting now some of these 00:18:23.039 themes actually require specific PHP 00:18:25.039 levels and memory limits with cyr you 00:18:27.520 can adjust the HP and also the memory 00:18:29.919 limit to accommodate a lot of these 00:18:31.720 WordPress themes now there is a link to 00:18:34.000 cyon in the description of this video 00:18:36.000 and if you guys do use our link to sign 00:18:37.600 up with cyron you guys will also get a 00:18:39.520 free domain now cyron has three 00:18:41.600 different plans and we always recommend 00:18:43.320 the grow big plan because with this plan 00:18:45.400 you guys can host unlimited domains 00:18:47.200 which is a pretty big difference from 00:18:48.840 just one single domain right so many of 00:18:51.159 the themes that we showed you guys do 00:18:52.559 require solid web hosting so again if 00:18:54.520 you guys are using other host companies 00:18:56.400 like Blu host or page we definitely 00:18:59.280 recommend to make the switch to syr.com 00:19:01.320 and again you guys can use our Link in 00:19:03.280 the description of this video and you 00:19:05.000 will receive a free domain with that 00:19:07.000 said let's jump back to the video next 00:19:09.760 up the essentials theme the essentials 00:19:12.520 theme is definitely one of the most 00:19:13.880 underrated themes on this list I 00:19:15.840 personally use this WordPress theme on 00:19:17.520 my WordPress website and I'll explain 00:19:19.640 what I like about it and why it made the 00:19:21.280 list when you first install the 00:19:22.760 essentials theme you're greeted with a 00:19:24.039 setup wizard you'll need to choose your 00:19:26.000 page builder Elementor or WP Bakery 00:19:28.919 it also recommends to have some plugins 00:19:30.600 installed but it's not required you're 00:19:32.559 going to need to link your pixord 00:19:34.200 account with your WordPress theme in 00:19:35.840 order to activate it you can first 00:19:37.640 import some of their templates on your 00:19:39.280 website and I'll be quite honest this 00:19:41.360 theme has some of the best starter 00:19:42.760 templates I've ever seen on any 00:19:44.440 WordPress theme design the designs are 00:19:47.039 modern nice and they really

website so next let's 00:20:06.000 talk about the theme options these can 00:20:07.919 be a little confusing for firsttime 00:20:09.440 users on the left side you'll see popups 00:20:12.520 headers and Footers this is essentially 00:20:15.000 the theme Builder where you can apply 00:20:16.679 different headers on various Pages you 00:20:19.000 can also import pre-made templates from 00:20:21.039

individual module next 00:21:27.640 let's explore the theme 00:21:29.440 options the theme options allow you to 00:21:31.600 do the basic WordPress themes like 00:21:33.320 General requirements sidebars cookie 00:21:36.080 consense and a few others you can also 00:21:39.000 create a custom 404 page they also do 00:21:42.039 have options where you can display a 00:21:43.360 banner this is great because if you guys 00:21:45.440 are having sales you can display this 00:21:47.320 Banner at the top of your website with 00:21:49.640 the essentials theme you'll have several 00:21:51.320 different blog layouts if you choose to 00:21:53.400 use a default theme style they also do 00:21:55.480 have some really nice post Styles and 00:21:57.080 post layouts for your blog here's an 00:21:59.279 example of my website using the blog 00:22:01.039 module as you can tell it works really 00:22:03.120 smooth it looks clean and it's easy to 00:22:05.480 navigate and the essential theme works 00:22:07.679 great for portfolios they offer four 00:22:09.720 different styles to present your 00:22:11.880 portfolios and the theme works for 00:22:13.799 Ecommerce websites the woocommerce 00:22:15.799 options offer unique styling for your 00:22:17.919 products they offer five different 00:22:20.080 styles for your products as you can tell 00:22:23.080 the shop page is really clean and modern 00:22:25.320 I just like the look and feel of this 00:22:27.080 e-commerce Style here's some example 00:22:29.240 shop pages and product pages there's a 00:22:31.240 lot more but I'll let you check it out 00:22:32.840 on their website I randomly sbled across 00:22:35.720 this theme a year ago and it felt like 00:22:37.440 it has everything it's great for blogs 00:22:39.520 great for e-commerce and great for 00:22:41.320 modern websites with these modern 00:22:42.799 amazing designs I felt like it was a 00:22:45.360 no-brainer I would give this WordPress 00:22:47.400 theme a solid 10 out of 10 the only 00:22:49.799 thing I would suggest is adding a table 00:22:51.840 of content element for the blog very 00:22:54.000 similar to the J news theme but overall 00:22:56.279 it's an amazing WordPress theme 00:22:58.520 next up the divvy theme the divy theme 00:23:01.080 has been one of the most popular 00:23:02.240 WordPress themes in the industry for 00:23:03.799 quite some time and with good reason the 00:23:06.080 divy theme has its own visual drag and 00:23:07.760 drop Page Builder and most beginners can 00:23:09.520 learn how to use this right away when I 00:23:12.080 first started using Wordpress I mainly 00:23:13.760 used Dy to build my websites the funny 00:23:16.440 part back then they didn't have a visual 00:23:18.000 Builder But as time went on they 00:23:19.799 developed their own visual Builder the D 00:23:22.080 theme also comes with more than 1,700 00:23:24.039 templates which is just staggering so 00:23:26.760 what makes the divvy theme so good 00:23:28.600 well let's talk about it now before we 00:23:30.640 go into this theme the pricing for this 00:23:32.360 theme is incredible and I think this is 00:23:34.120 why it's chosen among the community you 00:23:36.159 can get lifetime access for unlimited 00:23:38.000 domains or 00:23:39.679 $249 which makes it an ideal theme for 00:23:42.279 any web designer in the industry when 00:23:44.960 you first install divvy you need to 00:23:46.480 activate your license this is not 00:23:48.080 required to use the Builder but it is 00:23:49.679 required to get access to their 00:23:51.000 templates when you create a page you'll 00:23:53.200 first be prompted to start from scratch 00:23:55.360 import a pre-made template or clone a 00:23:57.440 website 00:23:58.440 you first start by selecting how many 00:23:59.960 columns you want then you click on the 00:24:02.000 plus icon and select the module when you 00:24:04.080 select a module there'll be three 00:24:05.360 different styling tabs the content tab 00:24:07.600 the design Tab and the advanced Tab and 00:24:09.960 this is universal for all elements you 00:24:12.200 simply add it in elements adjust it to 00:24:14.000 your liking and then you just keep 00:24:15.440 adding in elements the key difference 00:24:17.200 with divy versus other page buer is 00:24:19.120 there is no left sidebar so it's a bit 00:24:21.120 easier to get a visual representation of 00:24:23.360 how you want your website to look in 00:24:24.880 real time so here you can add icons you 00:24:27.240 can add back backgrounds and also import 00:24:29.200 your own images and get total freedom to 00:24:30.960 build your 00:24:33.360 websites there are a lot of amazing 00:24:35.360 features that come with a divvy theme 00:24:36.880 like copy and paste find and replace and 00:24:39.840 other amazing features in order to speed 00:24:41.559 up the design of your websites I can't 00:24:43.919 cover all of the features this theme 00:24:45.360 offers but I do have a dedicated 00:24:46.960 tutorial on divy and I'll leave that in 00:24:48.799 the description below of this video once 00:24:50.720 you are done designing

Builder you can also set conditions like 00:25:14.399 all products specific categories or just 00:25:17.279 one product I do like this theme Builder 00:25:19.840 because I feel like the interface is 00:25:21.240 simple and easy to learn and it's really 00:25:23.200 organized going back to the templates 00:25:25.320 divy has more than 230 template kits 00:25:27.320 available with more than 1,700 template 00:25:29.480 Pages they also do have a design 00:25:31.600 initiative where I believe they make two 00:25:33.200 template kits every single month the 00:25:35.279 divy theme has everything it's simple to 00:25:37.080 use drag and drop Builder a theme 00:25:38.760 Builder blog post Builder woocommerce 00:25:40.919 Builder and a visual Builder that most 00:25:43.080 beginners can adopt right away when you 00:25:45.279 purchase divy you also get access to the 00:25:47.120 bloom plugin and the Monarch plugin this 00:25:49.720 plugin is a great email capture 00:25:53.080 form and the Monarch plugin is a social 00:25:55.600 sharing 00:25:56.679 plugin 00:26:01.159 I would give this theme a solid 10 out 00:26:02.799 of 10 I think the future is very bright 00:26:04.880 for this theme and as they develop and 00:26:06.559 stabilize the theme it's only going to 00:26:08.440 get better next hello Elementor with the 00:26:11.679 Brizzy page builder now the next one is 00:26:13.799 sort of a crossbreed between the hello 00:26:15.480 Elementary theme which is basically a 00:26:17.520 blank canvas theme then we have Brizzy 00:26:20.200 which basically acts as a theme the brzy 00:26:22.480 page builder is definitely one of the 00:26:23.960 most userfriendly builders for WordPress 00:26:26.159 with a variety of blocks it makes making 00:26:27.919 a website so simple when you first 00:26:30.080 install Brizzy all you need to do is 00:26:31.880 create a new page once you create a page 00:26:34.120 you can simply insert a block there are 00:26:35.919 two different kits for the blocks they 00:26:38.360 also come in a light scheme and also a 00:26:40.520 dark scheme mode when you select a block 00:26:42.840 you can simply click on the element and 00:26:44.440 then design it Brizzy also offers 00:26:46.480 various elements you can take these 00:26:48.120 elements and drag them anywhere you want 00:26:49.720 on your websites you can then design 00:26:51.520 them style them click on update and 00:26:53.880 that's it your whole page is made you 00:26:56.039 can also create custom headers and foot 00:26:57.559 Putters on your website in the free 00:26:59.520 version you'll need to click on a row 00:27:01.039 and make it Global and then just add it 00:27:02.840 to every page in the pro version you'll 00:27:05.720 be able to set the condition on the 00:27:07.320 entire website I actually recommended 00:27:09.760 the same Builder to my friend's 00:27:11.039 girlfriend for her accounting business 00:27:12.880 and within 1 hour she had her website up 00:27:14.640 and ready on the left side you'll be 00:27:16.760 able to reorder the blocks on your 00:27:18.360 website and this will actually adjust 00:27:20.039 and change your websites you can also 00:27:22.240 change the current styling to different 00:27:23.760 styles to get a better idea of what you 00:27:26.120 want for your websites it also has a few 00:27:28.559 options like a role manager maintenance 00:27:30.720 mode an area to save templates and a few 00:27:33.440 other options but I'll be saving that 00:27:34.960 for a whole another video I would give 00:27:36.960 the hello Elementor theme a solid 7 out 00:27:39.120 of 10 it's just a blank canvas for the 00:27:41.240 page builder to do all the work I would 00:27:43.360 give Brizzy a solid 8 out of 10 the 00:27:46.000 Brizzy page bilder development has been 00:27:47.760 slow but it still resigns as one of the 00:27:50.039 most popular page Boulders in the 00:27:51.320 WordPress Community next up bloxy bloxy

learn the blogging features with bloxy 00:29:29.559 is where this theme tends to shine it 00:29:31.720 has a beautiful format and also a really 00:29:33.799 nice sidebar that you can customize with

specific 00:29:44.600 elements on the blog page as well bloxy 00:29:47.200 does also offer two different post title 00:29:49.919 Styles but I think type one is more 00:29:52.240 ideal the second type you might need to 00:29:54.240 find an image that really fits the 00:29:55.880 background bloxy has several different 00:29:57.960 page structures making it ideal for all 00:30:00.000 page Builders where you can choose 00:30:01.360 narrow normal left side bar and a right 00:30:04.440 side bar bloxy also has unique features 00:30:06.919 that allow you to design the author page 00:30:08.960 this is great if you have multiple 00:30:10.360 authors bloxy does also have a special 00:30:12.720 extension for affiliate marketing they 00:30:14.720 have a special feature called the 00:30:16.039 product reviews this enables you to 00:30:18.080 generate reviews for products bloxy will 00:30:20.880 autogenerate a template with custom post 00:30:22.919 types that make it really easy to add 00:30:24.799 reviews for any product 00:30:28.120 and lastly the woocommerce features the 00:30:30.159 bloxy theme does have several different 00:30:31.840 styles on how to display your products 00:30:34.039 you can adjust the rows columns or at a 00:30:37.240 sidebar it also gives you two different 00:30:39.159 titles for your product pages and the 00:30:41.240 single product page you can also hide 00:30:43.559 features like the reviews star rating 00:30:46.720 meta and a few others the bloxy theme 00:30:49.240 also comes with a really nice login page 00:30:50.919 for your 00:30:52.200 customers the bloxy theme is a great 00:30:54.559 multi-purpose theme for any type of 00:30:56.480 website whether you're running a normal 00:30:58.799 websites an e-commerce website or a Blog 00:31:01.720 there are some notable features in the 00:31:03.200 pro version but I think I'll save that 00:31:04.799 for another video bloxy does have really 00:31:07.039 good pricing you can purchase the HC 00:31:09.120 plan for unlimited websites for $100 a 00:31:11.960 year it also offers lifetime plans just 00:31:14.480 in case you don't want to be stuck on a 00:31:15.840 subscription I would give the bloy theme 00:31:18.000 a solv 10 out of 10 it offers so much in 00:31:20.600 the free version and it's a 00:31:22.039 multi-purpose theme for any type of 00:31:24.120 website next up the elementary Royal 00:31:26.600 kits if you guys like to use the 00:31:28.440 Elementor page builder then this theme 00:31:30.200 might be for you this theme is 100% 00:31:32.799 dedicated only to Elementor in fact they 00:31:35.399 don't have any theme customization 00:31:36.880 options except for the basic defaults 00:31:38.679 for this theme so let's explore this 00:31:40.440 theme a bit and see why it's different 00:31:42.360 now when you first install the theme 00:31:43.679 you'll be prompted to install their 00:31:45.000 plugin the Royal Elementor add-on plugin 00:31:47.519 this essentially gives you all the 00:31:48.720 features and it also integrates with the 00:31:50.519 theme when you first install the theme 00:31:52.200 you'll be able to search various 00:31:53.480 elements and temp kits they have about 00:31:55.480 30 kits and they look pretty good these 00:31:57.440 are fully completed websites that you 00:31:59.120 can import on your websites the 00:32:00.840 Elementor Royal kit also comes with 50 00:32:02.919 plus new elements for the Elementor page 00:32:04.639 bowler some of these are available in 00:32:06.399 the pro version of Elementor and others 00:32:08.240 are unique like an Instagram feed or 00:32:10.399 image hotspot when using Elementor 00:32:12.840 you'll have access to import pages and 00:32:14.799 blocks with the Elementor page buer many 00:32:17.279 of these are in the Pro version but 00:32:18.880 there are still a good amount you can 00:32:20.120 use in the free version one noticeable 00:32:22.799 feature in the style section is the 00:32:24.799 ability to add particles and Parallax to 00:32:26.880 every background this allows you to make 00:32:29.240 some creative landing pages using these 00:32:31.440 elements in the advanced tab you'll be 00:32:33.559 able to use the sticky section to make 00:32:35.519 any element sticky you can also use 00:32:37.559 custom CSS using the Royal add-ons 00:32:39.720 plugin now what makes this theme really 00:32:41.399 unique well it's their own custom theme 00:32:43.480 Builder you'll be able to make custom 00:32:45.360 headers custom Footers custom archive 00:32:47.880 Pages custom single post Pages custom 00:32:50.559 product pages and Custom Shop Pages all 00:32:53.399 using the free theme Builder however if 00:32:55.679 you want specific conditions for for 00:32:57.200 each section then you'll need to upgrade 00:32:59.000 to the pro if you're not familiar with 00:33:00.559 the theme Builder the theme Builder 00:33:02.000 allows you to build custom parts of the 00:33:03.600 website and display them with specific 00:33:05.679 conditions the theme Builder overrides 00:33:07.480 the theme settings allowing you to add 00:33:09.200 any section you want on your websites 00:33:11.519 this is great because it doesn't limit 00:33:13.000 you to the basic WordPress default and 00:33:14.760 helps you get more creative when you 00:33:15.919 build your websites while creating a 00:33:17.639 custom header you'll also have the 00:33:19.000 option to create a mega menu using all 00:33:20.840 the elements or elements in the free 00:33:22.440 version of this WordPress theme as far 00:33:24.600 as woocommerce goes the theme Builder 00:33:26.200 also supports in custom product pages 00:33:28.159 from scratch you'll have a list of 00:33:29.880 elements where you can design the shop 00:33:31.440 page or any page you would like using 00:33:33.360 the custom elements you'll have a list 00:33:35.159 of elements where you can design the 00:33:36.440 shop page or single product page using 00:33:38.720 the custom elements however you can only 00:33:41.039 have one in the free version if you want 00:33:42.840 multiple product pages then you'll need 00:33:44.440 to upgrade to the pro you'll also be 00:33:46.200 able to make your own custom popups in 00:33:48.000 the free version of this WordPress theme 00:33:50.240 however if you want specific conditions 00:33:52.080 you'll also need to upgrade to the pro 00:33:53.760 the pro version does come with many 00:33:55.080 extra features at your disposal it it 00:33:57.000 comes with more than 90 plus elements 00:33:58.519 for the Elementor page builder it also 00:34:00.559 lets you use the theme Builder on all 00:34:02.159 aspects of your website and gives you 00:34:04.080 access to the 00:34:05.320 conditions it also comes with other 00:34:07.240 various extensions that are only 00:34:08.599 included in the pro version the pro 00:34:10.560 version is fairly affordable you can get 00:34:12.399 the pro version for $30 a year or $60 00:34:15.280 for a lifetime I would give this theme a 00:34:17.399 solid8 out of 10 I do like the idea 00:34:19.719 behind this theme however some might 00:34:21.520 argue they are hijacking the element or 00:34:23.239 page builder which could be an issue for 00:34:24.839 some all right party people so what did 00:34:26.639 you guys think of the top 10 list let me 00:34:28.879 know I want to hear it you know also we 00:34:31.159 do have some honorable mentions and some 00:34:33.599 themes that I wanted to mention but I 00:34:35.320 felt like didn't deserve the list one of 00:34:37.560 them was the ne theme the ne theme has 00:34:40.199 always been a pretty solid theme but 00:34:42.280 they really haven't added anything 00:34:43.679 inside of their theme in fact over the 00:34:45.399 entire year they only added in one 00:34:47.440 noticeable feature so it's hard for me 00:34:49.560 to say like that's the best theme like 00:34:51.599 it is a solid theme but I wouldn't put 00:34:53.359 it in the category of the best and the 00:34:55.960 second honorable mention is the Cadence 00:34:58.480 theme now the reason why Cadence didn't 00:35:00.280 make the list is because it is pretty 00:35:02.240 much the same thing as the bloxy theme 00:35:04.839 now I'm I know I'm going to get a lot of 00:35:05.880 heat from the the the Cadence Community 00:35:08.119 but if you look at Cadence and bloxy 00:35:10.200 there is literally no difference it's 00:35:12.000 very hard to find where these teams 00:35:13.760 differ so when Cadence came out it 00:35:15.960 looked like just a watered down version 00:35:17.599 of bloxy I do believe that Cadence got 00:35:20.040 too much inspiration from the bloxy 00:35:22.640 theme I mean I think they got a lot of 00:35:24.520 inspiration uh from the bloxy theme so 00:35:26.880 so in this case I would definitely just 00:35:28.240 go with the bloxy thing and that's my 00:35:30.160 position on that okay and the third 00:35:32.400 honorable mention is the green shift 00:35:35.040 theme now the green shift theme is a 00:35:36.920 block based theme for Gutenberg now the 00:35:39.240 theme actually has its own builder and 00:35:41.079 it has a lot of really cool block based 00:35:43.000 elements unlike any other Builder and it 00:35:45.280 was neck and neck with Spectra 1 to be 00:35:47.119 honest but while I was using the theme I 00:35:49.520 was getting a lot of fatal errors and 00:35:51.160 PHP problems now this could have just 00:35:53.319 been an isolated incident right with me 00:35:55.520 and my other plugins but it was 00:35:57.760 consistent and I couldn't recommend it 00:35:59.640 as the best theme if I ran into some 00:36:02.160 fatal air problems so again it could 00:36:04.280 have just been an isolated incident but 00:36:05.839 if you guys do use Gutenberg you guys 00:36:07.640 can always check out the green shift 00:36:09.200 theme now this last honorable mention I 00:36:11.359 know I'm going to get a lot of heat from 00:36:12.880 from the community and this is the 00:36:15.319 bricks theme now I tested out the bricks 00:36:17.400 theme I really tried it out and I tested 00:36:19.520 the elements I tried to use the page 00:36:21.200 builder the problem with the bricks 00:36:22.680 theme is that it's just not intuitive 00:36:24.599 enough for the average web designer I 00:36:26.960 think this tool is specifically for web 00:36:29.319 developers who want to edit the CSS and 00:36:31.720 the div lines and move it around but for 00:36:33.880 the average user on WordPress I don't 00:36:36.280 think it's a suitable option but it is a 00:36:38.359 very cool Tool uh if you guys are a 00:36:40.520 developer you can do a lot of really 00:36:42.079 cool creative things with it versus like 00:36:43.800 Elementor but uh for the average user 00:36:46.280 and the beginner with WordPress I would 00:36:48.200 not recommend it but if you are an 00:36:50.400 experienced WordPress user or you're a 00:36:52.400 developer it is worth checking out all 00:36:54.640 right Party People well I hope this 00:36:56.119 video brought a of value to you guys 00:36:58.280 this video took me quite a bit of time 00:36:59.920 to make you know I had to open up each 00:37:02.160 WordPress theme I had to screen record 00:37:04.520 it I had to write down the script as I 00:37:06.440 was like you know writing uh you know 00:37:07.880 learning all the features and stuff so I 00:37:09.839 hope this video did bring a lot of value 00:37:11.599 to you guys well until then make sure to 00:37:13.680 stay safe and I will see all of you 00:37:15.240 party people in the next video guys take 00:37:17.160 care Tactiq Logo © 2025 Tactiq.
