The Showdown: Free WordPress Themes VS. Paid WordPress Themes. WordPress<\/a> (WP) is a wonderful, robust, and FREE content management system (CMS). It has provided many people a personal blogging platform (like this one<\/a>), and also made available so many free open source plugins, themes, and the like; to the wider public.<\/p>\n Many WordPress users start off simply by stumbling upon it whilst looking at getting themselves online. In my case, I was first introduced to WordPress whilst outsourcing a web build.<\/p>\n The best thing about WP is the fact that there are tons of different ways you can use it; Build yourself a company website, create member only areas, build a community forum, or create an online shop; the web is your oyster.<\/p>\n Often when you start exploring WP you are faced with a myriad of free themes and 20x the amount of paid themes. Sometimes just googling \u2018best WP themes 2014\u2019 will present you with the best PAID themes available. It can be harder to find the right free theme to suit your taste or requirement thus the large industry supplying paid themes.<\/p>\n So the question then is:<\/p>\n In my case the paid themes seemed to look so much better, offered a wider variety, and had so many customisation options. Pricing varied from a few dollars to upwards of $100 per theme.<\/p>\n The free themes (via WordPress.org or Google Free WP Themes) seemed few and far between, lacking in design elements, and always had strings attached i.e. pay to upgrade or unlock additional features including support etc\u2026<\/p>\n I am still inclined to choose free themes over paid and here are my reasons.<\/p>\nWhich is better, Free or Paid Themes?<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s in the Spirit of WordPress<\/h4>\n
