Wordpress or site-builder

I can't find a good theme for a wordpress install.

Is it advisable to just use a site builder instead?

I will probably have 10 pages plus adding one every month.

    There are thousands of free themes available out there ...I am surprised you can't find one you like.

    You can always design your own .. try Artisteer.com I use this program for all my own themes.

    Is it? ...well I consider it a good investment myself..... nothing to stop you designing themes for others once you have mastered it.

    Despite the huge selection of Wordpress themes that you can have, you can’t find one that works for your taste? That’s unusual. There are so many Wordpress theme providers out there where you can get templates for free. I really don't think that it is still smart to pay for a theme.

      There are loads of features that you'll find in paid themes that you'll never find in free themes.

      Smartcode support? Responsive design? on-going theme updates?

      On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    WordPress is the way to go... There's a lot of great premium themes in WSO section plus tons of free themes available on WordPress dashboard. Somebody mentioned the Artisteer, it's also a very good theme builder specially the latest version.

    Or if you really don't want to use WordPress for some reason then get XsitePro.

    Wordpress is the easier and cheaper if you know how to treat it well.

      Exactly. Just be patient enough in looking for Wordpress themes. I mean, it is just too impossible that no existing Wordpress theme is working for you. Plus, you can always customize the closest one that you can find. If I were you, I would do the extra work than pay extra cash for the service of others.

    Wordpress is definitely the way to go! If I'm struggling to find a theme I like on the Themes page then I just google 'best wordpress themes' and loads of different websites with good themes comes up.
