Design your way

It seems like good, common sense to avoid any products that claim to be able to do everything you need to get done. The claims might be true. But the results could range from satisfactory to a mix of good and bad to uniformly terrible.

It’s the “Jack of All Trades, Master of None” thing. The Swiss Army knife is an exception, but some of its tools still have limitations due to their small size.

Other exceptions to “Master of None” can be found in multipurpose WordPress themes. Especially those that have earned a “premier” rating. There are plenty of these “premier” products on the market. So many, in fact, that finding one that will best fit your needs can involve a significant amount of time.

Our goal is to make it easier for you to find what you want. This is the reasoning behind this list of our 12 top choices for 2019.

Starting with:

Be Theme

With its 40+ website-building core features that include a powerful new Header Builder a host of design elements, aids, and tools, and its library of 400+ customizable pre-built websites, Be Theme easily qualifies as the biggest WordPress theme ever.

In the world of multipurpose WordPress themes, size does matter on occasion in that it gives web designers more options, greater flexibility, and with so many features to work with, the ability to build a relatively complex website in as little as 4 hours.

Be Theme is retina ready, responsive, and SEO friendly. Of equal importance, each of its pre-built websites contains the foundation for creating a website that will be characterized by featuring a high-quality UX, thanks to its format and embedded functionality. The pre-built websites cover more than 30 different industry and business sectors as well as one-pagers and other website types and styles.

Be Theme gives you the opportunity to create one stunning website after another, easily and quickly.

Jupiter

The Jupiter X all-in-one website-building platform is fast, light, and powerful. It’s so powerful and flexible that if you can visualize a website or app you want to build, Jupiter X will enable you to do so.

Not only does Jupiter X do away with the limitations you sometimes encounter when using a website theme, its visual editor, working in combination with the WordPress Elementor page builder and its Customizer technology lets you totally customize your website. At the same time, you’ll have total, seamless control over placement of your global and local design elements.

Another positive is the ability to design headers and footers from scratch as opposed to having to work around the limitations a theme’s options sometimes impose; plus, the Shop Customizer lets customize eCommerce shop details such as carts, that typically couldn’t be touched.

Uncode – Creative Multiuse WordPress Theme

If your goal is to build responsive, high-performance, smooth and sleek and pixel perfect websites time after time, your best chance of meeting that goal is to invest in a WordPress theme that features the same characteristics.

Uncode is just such a theme. Its advanced grid system with dozens of options enables its users to create virtually any possible layout and a few “impossible” ones as well. You’ll be able to trace back the secret of your successes to your creative talents and a theme that gives you total control over your design activities from start to finish.

Creating exceptionally impressive blogs and portfolios are certainly two of Uncode’s strong points, but the best way to see if Uncode is for you is to browse their showcase of user-built websites.
