Free WordPress Themes: when to use them?

in #wordpress5 years ago

We all like to receive free stuff but not all free stuff is good. Especially in this digital era, you have to be careful with the offers you receive. If it looks too good like winning an iPhone, there is a high probability that it’s a trap to infect your system once you click on it.

Online there are free programs. These free programs are available to everyone including those that are able to exploit these programs. These programs are free for hackers to use so be aware when using these free programs online. They could be able to steal your information. Especially when you decide to build a website make sure to create a plan to have some money available sure to create a plan to have some money available for the first stage of your website building.

Know that if are serious about building an online business you will need some money to start. But don’t panic, the costs of domains are usually between 12 to 20 dollars a year. Once you’ve bought the domain you will need a hosting platform who could cost monthly between 10 to 50 dollars. I started with a free theme and started creating content for the website.

After some time when I started getting more traffic, I started having issues related to the theme. Fortunately, I had a back-up of all my pages and posts because I had to choose another theme. There was nothing else that could be done other that overrides the free-theme.

The process of choosing another theme was difficult. I was strongly advised not to choose a free theme that didn’t have an upgrade or pro-version because I could be facing the same problems again so I choose one with an upgraded version and eventually bought this version. What is the benefit of this upgraded version?

They come with several applications that you would otherwise find by installing plug-ins. As we know having too many plug-ins installed on your site is not good. But free themes are not always that bad if your main goal is to share stories and information like upcoming events and informative articles with a not for profit goal then using a free theme may be a good option.
