How do you create a beautiful, customised WordPress website, without having to write code? WordPress, and particularly WordPress themes, came of age about 2/3 years ago. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I found the template that I use on this site, and almost every site I create for clients. The template is the secret sauce…

The last WordPress template you’ll ever buy

Let me start by making it clear that not all WordPress templates are equal. Most certainly not. The free ones are free for a reason (no-one will pay money for them). The one’s that have a cost are usually better BUT even amongst the PRO templates, not all are equal. For me, there is one template that is head and shoulders above the rest.

It is called Divi and you can get it from Elegant Themes. And here is why I love it.

When it comes to template settings, this one has everything you want. Including neat little boxes where you can write custom CSS. And others where you can paste in things like Google tracking codes. It doesn’t get much easier. It integrated to Aweber and Mailchimp, and you can easily link to your social profiles.

Then there is the customisation options. This is where it get really crazy. It allows anyone to easily customise the look and feel of their website.
