In two days you could create a similar WP theme without all the unnecessary gubbins that theme creators add... Bottom line is you probably spend more time customising an existing theme than building your own from scratch.. it can be a pita back tracking someone else’s code to to make small changes when you could quickly knock out an html template of exactly what you want and slice the html and css into a bare bones WP theme..

@FatFred Yes it is a heavily modifed version of avada theme that @supaskrub posted.

@supaskrub creating your own theme is only possible if you have coding knowledge tho. So that might not be an option for everyone.

That’s true, but WP codex is super helpful and there are a ton of websites and community support out there for learning up on html, css and mobile screen css queries.

I started with little knowledge when WP was just a blog so take it for granted at times how easy it is once you’ve got the hang of it. Coding custom plugins is when you start hitting real hurdles because php is a pretty big jump from html and you need to be very careful that you don’t leave your site open to injection as most plugin tutorials do not include security. That said there’s really no need to custom code plugins as the WP library of free ones covers just about everything imaginable but again one needs to be careful of what they install, not all plugins are friendly..

@supaskrub ye, if you have time to learn it then it is good, but does not happen from one day to the other. For example, I would LOVE to learn how to code, but I am still doing my bachelor and have to run all the other content things for ESO, so very little time to learn something next to that. However, once I am finished with my Bachelor I definitely want to learn to code things step by step, looking forward to that
