Need a new more advanced WP site and I am lost.

  • Hi Folks,

    I have no technical knowledge of coding at all. None. I am going to hire a professional developer to install a new premium theme on a new WP site.

    I have had a very simple WP site for ten years (Theme is Twenty-eleven). This WP site is hosted by Go Daddy I think on linux or older platform, NOT managed hosting.

    It has about 8 pages. Many photos and a couple of Vimeo videos embedded. The site has never had a problem in all these years. Very easy to add to etc. and never down and also fast loading.

    I now need a WP website for an independent film that will start a major film festival run. The new site must have a much better look to it and it is crucial that the new bought premium theme performs and is always up, and will be easy to add to without any problems.

    Can anyone tell me if buying a premium theme from the Envato site is risky? I have seen many many posts saying not to do this, and also within comments on themes I like, it may take days to get a support response if something goes wrong.

    The developer has a going concern business (not someone from Fiver) can install the premium bought theme for me for a reasonable price. Building a custom theme is way out of my budget.

    Can anyone advise Please? Also how to host this site I have heard that any “managed” hosting may slow down the site which I can’t risk.

    Many Thanks for any responses

    Can anyone tell me if buying a premium theme from the Envato site is risky?

    I’m sorry but this topic is getting closed and here’s why.

    We have a similar rule on the subreddit, which boils down to “no find my theme for me questions”. Essentially you are asking an open ended question which has no end goal in sight. Everybody has opinions on what thing is better than other things, so such a conversation lasts forever and really helps nobody.

    It’s also an open invitation for authors to hawk their wares, and basically advertise their themes. It’s not a productive conversation for “support forums”.

    If you want to find a theme that you like, then my advice is to setup a test site and install a bunch of free themes on it, and try them out. Look at the results, test the layout, examine the code, etc. Asking other what theme they use is going to get you a lot of responses, few of which will actually help you.

    Also, these are support forums, not a blog. Generally speaking, we prefer people to ask specific questions, which will have specific answers. Questions that rely on opinion based answers just end up spiraling out of control.

    You’re asking about something outside of these forums and that’s not how these forums work. Please consider asking on another site.

    If you have a support topic about code on this site then yes, please start a new support topic.
