⁉️🤔 FAQ

Which theme should I choose if the store is just launching and the budget is minimal?

You can build a professional store on WooCommerce without an astronomical budget: the majority of themes in the selection cost the same, which simplifies the choice. With a limited budget, pay attention to WoodMart: you get 80+ ready-made demos and the best documentation among competitors. For a multi-vendor marketplace, take Martfury, Dokan out of the box saves weeks of setup. If the store already has turnover, look at Porto or Flatsome with deep customization.

What's the difference between themes on Elementor and themes on WPBakery?

Elementor, a visual frontend builder: you edit the page and immediately see the result. WPBakery (formerly Visual Composer), a backend editor with frontend mode. For a store, Elementor is more convenient: faster to assemble a product card. But Salient with 300+ templates and Avada with its own builder based on WPBakery are also strong. The choice of builder is a matter of habit and specific tasks.

Is Elementor Pro needed to work with these themes?

Most themes from the list work with the free version of Elementor. But for full use, theme builder, dynamic widgets, popups, Elementor Pro is desirable. Three themes from the selection don't depend on Elementor Pro at all: Avada comes with its own builder, Shopkeeper and Salient offer WPBakery as an alternative.

How do I check that the theme won't slow down the store?

Open the live demo of the theme, run it through PageSpeed Insights. Look at FCP under 1.8s, TBT under 200ms, DOM size under 1500 nodes. Compare 2-3 candidates, the numbers will show the real picture. After installation, configure caching and image optimization.

Can I use one theme for two different stores?

According to the ThemeForest license, no. Regular License covers one project, meaning one domain. For a second store, you need a second license. Exception, multisite on WordPress: some themes, including Porto and Avada, allow using one license on subdomains of one network. Check the license description of the specific theme before purchase.

What to install on your store in 2026

The choice comes down to three scenarios. Niche store, sporting goods, furniture, interior, take Sportie, Auros or Hugge: they are tailored for a specific product type. Universal powerful theme, Porto, WoodMart or Flatsome. Porto for fans of Elementor: 90 demos, layout studio. WoodMart for those who want maximum ready-made solutions: 80+ demos, Mega Menu, AJAX shop and 100,000+ users. Flatsome for those ready to work with custom UX Builder for the sake of 232,000+ sales on ThemeForest. Budget start, practically any theme from the bottom half of the list.

Run live demos of 2-3 candidates on mobile, look at product cards and cart. Take the one where the interface is intuitively clear.
