Is there any difference for my ranking on google if i buy a for example an avada theme or if i build my own WP site from scratch.

Will avada theme have any disadvantage for ranking ?

THANKS

    Some people swear by a theme and/or wordpress but you can rank almost any theme any theme. However unless you have something very special I can't see a good reason to build a theme from scratch.

    NO pre-created themes wont have any issues over rankings. If you really want after purchasing theme you will also get all the files you can easily edit it out as per your needs.

    I dont think you creating a new theme would be any helpful or a good decision as it will cost you more money than already created theme and will also take a bit of time.

    Themes like Avada are built for the masses so odds are the theme will be bloated with stuff you will never use.

    Look at the text version of the theme demo (example) and compare it to the live demo. Is content/links hidden on the text version (ex: javascript)?

    Usually themes are built to be pretty because pretty sells to the masses and SEO is only an afterthought.

    Do your own research.

      what do you want it for? simple blog, landing page, ecommerce , magazine? No one theme is good for everything. Frankly i think Avada is no big deal

      For something like that I'm partial to Ultimatum theme for maximum customization and features - with a booking plugin

      Thats if you insist on Wordpress. Nowadays I'd probably build my own solution but either way SEO wise they are almost all fine.

      To be honest a CMS (Wordpress) is probably overkill for that type of project considering odds are it will be a handful of pages that never needs updated.

    I think it would be a waste of time to create new theme from scratch. Well if you're a dev, its another thing

    Definitely save your time and purchase a beautiful theme. I've used avada and they are quite excellent and they won't hurt your SEO at all. Its about the content you put on your site, inbound links etc.

    “Drag and drop” themes make big promises. But what you need is a page builder that’s easy to get started with, yet robust to scale as your business grows. You need something that lets you sell products, promote services, and engage customers. You want something that delivers clean code — not shortcode — to build any page layout.
