If you have a WordPress website, you’re no doubt enjoying its ease of use, intuitive functionality, sharp-looking design, and many other benefits. WordPress is the world’s most popular Content Management System (CMS) for those very reasons. However, there always comes a time when a website needs an updated look and feel and refreshed content. If it’s time to explore a new website, beware of the pitfalls of out-of-the-box, pre-made WordPress themes, and check out Xcite’s Xpress Themes.
First, there are plenty of these out-of-the-box products available online for as little as $50, which you can install and be off and running. However, while inexpensive and easy to install, many themes suffer from poor optimization and contain an overkill amount of plugins that lead to poor (slow) performance, which can be detrimental to your website. In addition, the editing interface for pre-made themes can often be convoluted in how you add and edit content and lay out the page how you want it, which offsets the greatest benefit of WordPress — ease of use.
