The best things in life are not always free. If you want to personalize your website and tailor fit it to your business needs, you need to invest a little in premium themes.
5. Stand Out
• Gives you so much flexibility in
terms of design
• Easy to customize
• Great example: OptimizePress
6. Better Functionality
• Easier, more functional user
experience
• Easier to setup
• More streamlined
management of your site’s
day-to-day requirements
7. Better Security
• Premium themes are supported by
coders and developers who are
always looking out
• Case Study:
The “TimThumb” Vulnerability
• Premium theme users had resources
& support. Free themes? (Not so
much.
8. Access To Tech Support
• Premium WordPress themes tend to
have plenty of support behind them.
• Not just the developer…
• As developers receive feedback from
their users, your chosen theme will
likely have updates to fix bugs and add
new features
9. Variety
• Depending on your business needs
and personal taste, you will be able
to find something that will fit your
needs
• Premium themes can:
Support the ease of navigation
Give the speed needed for
magazines or news sites
Fit the personality of your own
blog site (photo gallery vs. news)
Reflect the simplicity of corporate
sites
10. Save Money
• Ask yourself: How much is your time worth?
• Free themes require you to be more hands-on
with the entire process of creating and
maintaining your site
• Most premium themes are one time
investment and can start as low as $25.
• Why choose to spend thousands of dollars for
a custom-made website when you can get the
same efficiency with a WordPress premium
theme for a tenth of the price?

of your website as well as how much time and
