Choosing, customising and replacing WordPress themes.
Plugins
Beaver Builder's reputation is for stability and for behaving reasonably when you remove it. Both are real, and neither means a builder-built site is portable in the way people assume.
Themes
GeneratePress is deliberately small. Its free version is a genuinely complete lightweight theme, and its premium tier is a set of modules you enable only where you need them.
Themes
Kadence is a light theme with its own header and footer builders and a block library alongside it. That split is the thing to understand: the theme is portable, the blocks are the dependency.
Themes
The7 is a multipurpose theme built around bundled page builders and a very large options panel. Its strength is that it does everything; its cost is that everything it does becomes yours to maintain.
Themes
Divi is a theme and a page builder sold as one product on an unusually generous licence. Both halves of that sentence explain why people stay with it and why leaving is expensive.
Web Design
There is no honest one-click path from a design file to a maintainable WordPress site. What there is, is a handoff that turns a design into a system — tokens, components and states — which a theme can then implement.
Themes
A photography theme has one job: deliver large images fast and without mangling them. Most fail on the same three points — the crop, the compression, and where the gallery data lives.
Themes
Screenshots tell you nothing. What decides whether a theme is a good one is how it behaves on a phone, what it weighs, how it is maintained, and how much of your content it holds hostage.
Website Building
A one-page site is a design decision with SEO consequences. It works beautifully for a single offer and badly for anything that needs to rank for more than one thing.
Themes
The words are used interchangeably and they are not the same thing. One is the software that renders your site; the other is a starting layout you import into it. Confusing them is how people buy the wrong thing.
Themes
A child theme is two files and a header comment. The part that goes wrong is not creating it — it is how the parent stylesheet gets loaded and what happens to your customiser settings on activation.
Themes
Astrology sites are three different businesses in one aesthetic. Publishing, consultations and reports need different templates, and the celestial look most themes sell actively harms all three.
