Did you know that over 43% of all websites on the internet are created with WordPress?
It’s no wonder, because it’s a very good, intuitive platform that offers enough flexibility to develop any website.
When creating a WordPress site, you have two options:
01
a 100% personalized website
or
02
a website created based on a purchased theme
Which option is more suitable for you?
First of all, you should know what these two options entail.
Custom WordPress website
If you want a website that stands out, is unique, and truly reflects your brand identity, a custom theme is the ideal choice.
Why? Because the design is created from scratch, starting from a graphic concept drawn by our design team in Photoshop and later transformed into a unique theme for you.
Advantages of a custom theme
Respects brand identity
You can have a design that exactly reflects the vision of your business.
Creativity without limits
Any creative idea or graphic concept can be implemented without compromise.
Optimized code
Custom themes come with “clean” code, written strictly for your needs, without unnecessary additions.
Unique website
Without the risk of having a site that looks like thousands of other sites on the internet.
To benefit from all these advantages, you must keep in mind that the process involves higher costs because an entire team works on the project:
- designers,
- front-end and back-end programmers,
- marketing specialists,
- and a project manager.
Typically, a custom website takes between 2 and 3 months to complete, but the result will be worth the wait!

Websites with purchased theme
On the other hand, if you have a smaller budget or need a website in a short time, then creating a website with a purchased theme may be the right solution.
The available themes come with predefined structures, are tested and optimized for a variety of devices, and can be implemented in just a few weeks.
Advantages of websites created with purchased themes
Short implementation time
You can have your website ready in 2-3 weeks.
Reduced costs
Perfect for startups or small projects where the budget is limited.
Variety
You have countless themes to choose from.
However, if you opt for this option, which is faster and more affordable, you will have to sacrifice loading speed.
Some purchased themes are loaded with unnecessary functionality, which can affect site speed.
There may also be limitations in customization because not all themes allow advanced changes, so your site may resemble others that use the same theme.
If you want to see websites made with purchased WordPress themes, we invite you to take a look at our portfolio.

Can I add new features to a website with a purchased theme?
Yes! You can add additional functionality to a site with a purchased theme, but we need to verify their compatibility with the already installed theme.
Can I migrate from a purchased theme to a custom one later?
Absolutely! If you have a site with a purchased theme, you can always migrate to a custom theme as your business grows and you need more flexibility.
What do I need to do to keep the website updated and functional?
A WordPress site requires constant maintenance to run at peak performance. This includes updating your theme, plugins, and WordPress itself, regular backups, and optimizing for speed and security.
What impact does website loading speed have on my business?
A fast-loading website can improve user experience and increase conversion rates. Studies show that 53% of users abandon a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
What happens if I want to change the design after the website is completed?
Changing the design after the site is completed is possible, but we need to discuss the details. If you have a site with a custom theme, changes can be made without affecting the original code structure. In the case of purchased themes, major changes can be more complicated due to theme limitations.
