Where to Buy Pretty Website/Blog Themes

Once you have your community website/blog or any other site set up, it’s time to choose a pretty theme! We have a few recommendations, mostly depending on the WordPress framework you use:

Restored 316 (named after a verse from the Bible) offers beautiful themes run on the free Kadence framework. This is super-fast and includes lots of features like automatic related posts, repairs broken links and is also faster than Genesis.

These themes are more expensive (due to lots of bells-and-whistles that you don’t have to use). It also offers more affordable starter themes, if you prefer to keep things simple.

Code + Coconut themes are built on the free Genesis Framework, these are really affordable themes, with a feminine touch. They are easy to use and customise, without extra code or bulky features.

Most themes let you add an online shop, using a free plugin. If you wish to make the default underline thicker, use this code in your CSS box (change the number to match colour hex code):

.entry-content a, .entry-summary a, .nav-links a {
border-bottom: 3px solid #f6cdb6;}

17th Avenue (also sold at Etsy) offers nice feminine themes. The premium themes (now on Kadence) are around £100 or so, while the simple themes run on Genesis, and are more affordable.

Bluchic themes run on Elementor, a page-builder that works very differently, but gives lovely designs. This brand’s themes are used by tens of thousands of entrepreneurs worldwide, are super-easy to use, and way more affordable than hiring a web designer!

Studio Gem offers nice budget Kadence themes, with minimalist details (around $50). These are very simple, but also very SEO-friendly, fast-loading and professional.
