Best Wordpress Theme For Offline Clients?

I had looked at Themeforest a few months back and they had quite a lot to choose from. Are they good with support?

I've been using the new ElegantThemes Divi theme. As you can basically drag and drop design the webpage.

And if I am working in 1 vertical and have a theme that is converting well, I use the free Duplicator Plugin and just clone the site over into a new city.

That way I don't have to redesign and new site every city I'm going in to.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried elegantthemes about year ago and had trouble setting it up. I am not a techie person and it just wasn't easy to follow their setup instructions. I will check out the others.

Thanks so much for the feedback about Themeforest. I'm seeing it mentioned quite a bit so I will definitely be checking them out. Support, setup and navigation are all very important to me.

I second Digichik, your best theme will be that which fits your website's needs, topic and other details.

I'd recommend Themeforest. They have great support in general, but you SHOULD spare some time reading feedbacks, checking their support forums (some have threads publicy viewable), and see some samples of what others have done with a particular theme.

If you are looking for great support you should do that.

As example I would say that the theme Sterling and Avada are good. But while Sterling includes a lot of videos to set up, my personal experience is that support lacks. While Avada support seems to be better.
In any case you should keep in mind many Wordpress theme marketplaces point that they are not responsible for support or updatings. Nor authors are obligated to update their work.

Other options are Inkthemes and Elegant themes. Good support too.

Judging from the comments, it seems to be a favorite among many. Is X theme one of the themeforest ?

Divi theme was mentioned by someone else. I will look at it, although I didn't have much success with Elegant themes in the past. I will look at Inkthemes. Thanks for the suggestions.

Another one for Themeforest. Easy to customize is very important for me because I am not techie at all. If Themeforest passes this test, looks like I will give it a try.
Thanks so much.

Looks like these were the main two suggestions. Looking at both but I think I'm leaning towards Themeforest. Thanks

Just a reminder that Theme Forest isn't a theme maker. It's a market place. Theme makers create accounts and sell their themes there. There's just as much good and bad in there as the rest of the world.

One thing I'd advise any theme buyer to do is check to make sure that it works in IE8 (test it side by side). No business will be happy if you deliver a theme that doesn't work unless their clients have to download special software to see it (i.e. Firefox).

I've busted more than too many johnny-come-latelys-cum-theme-"makers" in there (and in here) who just test their themes on one of their favourite latest version browsers and scoff at anyone who complains. These are back-yarders without a clue and need to be steared well clear of.

Another thing I'd check is their communication skills by asking them if it's been (fully!) tested in IE8. If they start giving you excuses and saying rubbish like "no one uses IE8 anymore" run (don't walk) away. Also check their loading times. Do they load massive pngs as background images? If so, they have no idea what they're doing and need to be stayed well clear of as well.

A good theme will load fast, work in every modern browser and will have decent rapid support. Expect that and nothing less.

Themes may seem cheap (even at their top dollar) but when you have to spend wasted hours and days fixing themes and waiting for answers from developers they soon become very expensive.

Ok great, I will check it out. Thanks

Thanks for those suggestions. I hadn't even considered WP. You are right, there are a lot just on that platform.

Thank you, I will look at those two.

I've tried theme forrest, the support is hit an miss... my last experience was a big miss.... wasted a lot of time on a theme that wouldn't work.

Elegant themes support is very good, but I find a lot of their newer themes quite slow... their fancy sliders are very heavy.
