WordPress offers a large selection of free themes on the official site. Each theme is rigorously screened to meet WordPress standards. They have a different set of features. If the features of the free theme is not enough, you can install plugins. The more complex the site, the more additional files will have to be installed.
Sometimes there can be a conflict between the topic and plugins, because of which the site is slow to load, or even stops working. In this case, it is worth using paid themes (premium) WordPress, as many of them are supported by developers and you can ask them for help.
Premium themes can be purchased from the sites of developers. The advantage of such themes is the original layout and high functionality. You do not need to install additional plug-ins, which can also be paid.
Some premium themes can be found online for free. However, we strongly recommend not using them. Often the code of these themes has been modified by third parties. In addition, using paid themes obtained from unofficial sources is dangerous for the following reasons:
- High risk of hacking your site and stealing sensitive information.
- Themes may contain malware.
- Scammers can make redirects from your site to your site or spam.
