Best Page Builders 2019
1. Elegant Themes Divi Page Builder
Update: Divi 4.0 is here! Now with Theme Builder
The brand new version Divi 4.0 is here! This release finally releases the long awaited Divi Theme Builder. Divi is no longer just a WordPress theme with Page Builder, but it lets you control the look and feel of the entire site with the Theme Builder.
The Divi Theme Builder is a website template system that allows you to use the Divi Builder to structure the website and edit any part of the Divi theme, including headers, footers, mail templates, category templates, etc. Each Theme Builder template is used for the header, footer or body. These three sections can be created and customized with the Divi Builder and its modules and the so-called Dynamic Content.
Now, when creating a new Theme Builder template, the template can be assigned to specific parts of the site. For example, you can create a template for blog posts, creating a completely custom structure and design for your blog with the convenience of Divi’s drag-and-drop system. Once the template is assigned, every blog post on the website will be updated immediately.
So the Theme Builder templates can be used to customize any part of the site by either assigning the template to it or excluding it from certain locations. The use of assignments and exclusions allows fine-grained control over the design of your website.
Finally, own headers and footers!
With the Theme Builder you can finally create custom headers and footers for every part of the website. You are no longer limited to the default header of Divi!
All in all, a really successful update of the already great Divi theme!!
Best Multipurpose WordPress Themes
1. Bridge
Bridge is a premium-level theme that stands out above all for its extraordinary number of customization options and for offering more than 200 different demos to easily design almost any project. For only $ 39 you get a multi-purpose theme that you can use versatile. Bridge is extremely customizable and allows you to create everything from the minimalist WooCommerce Shop to the elaborate Fullwidth Portfolio. A wealth of content elements leaves no wish unfulfilled. In addition, there are four premium plugins when buying Bridge. One of them is the Timetable Plugin, which allows you to integrate a calendar function into your WordPress project.
2. Salient
Salient is familiar to many of us from past years. That should be about five years ago. Since then, however, Salient has changed fundamentally and greatly expanded. Last year, I had the pleasure of being able to implement a project again with the Salient Theme. Typography on point, great animations, and many innovative, ready-made layouts are just a few features of the theme. The demo layouts of Salient are definitely among the best designs on Themeforest. Granted, whoever does not know Visual Composer will initially be confused by the many options in the layout. The demo layouts, however, offer a good starting point. Also, I first installed a demo layout and then, starting from this, adapted the project. Since you can see exactly how the web design looks, you can adjust it to your liking.
3. Uncode
Uncode is a fairly new and modern style template, with 32 very powerful demos to design anything you can think of. Includes Visual Composer so you can design your sections in a really simple way. Just the various demos of the Uncode theme show the flexibility of the theme and make it interesting for many areas. Whether a start-up, designer or musician – it offers you all the possibilities in the design and implementation of your ideas with WordPress. Although the developers advertise with a page score of 98%, Uncode is a bit slow at least on the go. In times of mobile-first, the developers here have to improve! Despite the slow performance, it has earned its place on the list, as it is extremely flexible. Fullwidth, Metro, Grid, Masonry or Fluid – with Uncode you have great possibilities.
- Adaptive images
- Great demo designs
- 6 different menu layouts (including left or off-canvas menus)
- 6 premium plugins inclusive
- 50 demo layouts makes it easy for beginners
- WooCommerce and WPML-ready
- Responsive design
4. Impreza
The Impreza Theme is increasingly climbing its way to the top of the Themeforest sales charts. Understated for a long time as an underdog, it offers everything you need for your new WordPress project. That is why many web design agencies like this theme. If you see the demos of Impreza, you’ll know why: It is extremely versatile. Whether minimalist portfolio theme or wide, bold restaurant theme – Impreza is extremely versatile. The Visual Composer ensures that you can drag and drop your layouts – without any programming skills. The theme options are also clearly structured and offer a refreshing change from numerous options such as in the Avada theme.
5. Enfold
The Enfold Theme is one of my favorite WordPress themes, and not just since 2019. For many years now, I swear by the Avia Page Builder of Enfold, which I find much more user-friendly than the Visual Composer other WordPress Themes shows up. It makes a solid impression and offers many common content modules (Slider, Tabs, Accordion menus, etc) to design your new WordPress site. So you are very flexible and can create many different layouts with Enfold. The code has gained a lot of clarity in recent months and is occasionally cleaned up by the developers. This certainly can not claim every theme, e.g. Avada’s code is pretty messy and huge, as it has never been cleaned up properly. The nice thing about Enfold is also that new, meaningful functions appear again and again. Also, there are always new demo layouts added that provide the perfect framework for almost every industry. No matter if it’s Photography, Restaurant, Wedding, Landing Page, Hotel or Consulting – with Enfolds Layout demos you have a good starting point for your next WordPress project.
6. Jupiter
Jupiter belongs to the newcomers but already looks very promising. It comes with its visual page builder and includes over 160 demos to help you get started. Also, Jupiter offers a shop customizer (based on WooCommerce). Thus, it is particularly well suited for prospective shop owners who are looking for an e-commerce theme. The special advantage of Jupiter, however, is the performance. Certainly a multi-purpose theme and thus always a tick slower – but Jupiter has an innovative technology that loads only currently used modules. This means that your theme does not load all functionalities that are integrated, but only those that are in use right now. Besides, Jupiter contains the exclusive Edge Slider (parallax scrolling is also possible). This was coded especially for the Jupiter Theme and is also optimized for performance. Jupiter is worth a look.
7. BeTheme
The BeTheme is one of the best-selling themes on Themeforest and has long been one of the top dogs in the theme jungle. As a Layout Builder you can choose between the Muffin Builder 3 or the well-known Visual Composer. The Muffin Layout Builder is only partially suitable for complex layouts and does not make a stable impression.
But with the Visual Composer (which is integrated in many premium themes) you can easily and quickly reach your destination. Another advantage: When changing the theme, chances are that your future theme will also work with the Visual Composer. So you save the training period in a new Visual Layout Builder. Especially noteworthy for this theme is the free style Google Map. The BeTheme also offers endless options but clearer than the Avada Theme. In addition, there are over 200 demo layouts that can be activated with a 1-Click installation.
8. The7
The The7 Theme is one of the top sellers Themeforest. It offers a Design Wizard, with which you can put together your website with just a few clicks. The developers advertise with over 850 theme options – many setting options, which in turn press the usability of the theme. After all, everything wants to be loaded. To get an overview here, you first have to familiarize yourself with The7, if you do not want to use the ready-made demos. But if you’ve set everything up, it can be a long time friend on your design road. I especially like the smooth animations as well as the typography, which is very balanced in this theme. The demos are all beautifully designed and make a good starting point for your new project. The7 – worth a look!
9. Brick
A truly superior template with great styles for portfolios and pages that focus on the visual. Contains Visual Composer for easy layout and plugins like LayerSlider to create animated galleries.
10. The Total
A classic without a doubt. Rarely you find such a balanced template between visual quality, personalization, premium plugins like Visual Composer, various demos, loading speed and support. I especially recommend The Total when you start a project from scratch, so you can adapt it as you like.
11. Angle
Angle is a multipurpose theme with which you can create almost any type of web project. It comes with a wide range of customization options, demo content, graphic effects, libraries of icons and fonts, mega menus, etc. And, of course, it includes Visual Composer to design with creativity and style.
12. Oshine
Another WordPress template of an excellent level, which stands out above all for its high quality and its number of different layouts to create your pages and your portfolio and blog sections, which you can install in one click. All this accompanied by Visual Composer so that designing is very easy and comes with a lot of options.
13. Avada
After the Avada Theme did not show up in the best WordPress Themes list last year, I decided to mention it again this year. One thing is certain: No matter which project you want to launch – Avada is pretty much for everything. Whether portfolio, restaurant, dentist, blogger, etc. – Avada offers you almost endless possibilities. Since it is very popular, it also has good support and is constantly updated. The developers advertise with Avada not only as a theme but as a powerful design tool. So the developers are right. But with all the advantages of Avada, there are also the disadvantages: long loading times, too many options make it difficult to keep track, etc. Nevertheless, it is worth taking a look at the Avada WordPress Theme.
14. PILE
PILE is a WordPress Portfolio Theme with high standards. Granted, the price of it is very high – if you want to leave your potential customers or prospects with open mouths, then it is your first choice. PILE is styled to the smallest detail – it shows the love of the designers for small things. This love is also reflected in the price: $ 225 is probably one of the highest prices for a WordPress Portfolio Theme, but worth every penny here. Parallax Scrolling should have every WordPress theme in 2019 – PILE goes one step further and offers parallax scrolling for content elements. PILE is definitely worth a look. The following video allows a look behind the scenes of it:
15. Proton
The Proton Portfolio theme is not a multi-purpose theme, so it’s only suitable as a portfolio theme. But it is ideal. Thus, the proton theme dispenses with complex content elements that you do not need for your portfolio, which in turn benefits the performance since no 90+ content elements need to be loaded. I especially like the typography of the proton themes, which was chosen with much love. Also, setting up Proton is very easy, as there are not 800 different options. In this respect, every freelancer should take a look at the proton theme in search of a minimalist portfolio theme. Incidentally, WooCommerce is also supported. If you want to offer your work as a freelancer in the future via your WordPress website in your online shop.
16. TheGem
TheGem – a few years ago it was very popular. Unfortunately, the disappointment came with the wonderful demo layouts in the backend. The adaptability of the TheGem theme was limited and so managed the theme Although the entry in the most popular Themes 2017 – but it could not maintain the success. Too many critical voices came up. The TheGem theme is still a good choice and is one of the best WordPress themes this year, but it has a bitter aftertaste. What happened? The more than 200 demos look all top – but lives a theme of his pictures (which in most cases just do not belong to the demo). If you start to fill the theme with your own pictures, which were not made by a designer, meets the great demo layout on the reality. Nevertheless, the TheGem Theme (just because of the ready-made demos) worth a look and has made this year the way to the list.
17. Brooklyn
Brooklyn is not one of the big themes in the scene – yet it has made its way into the list of great WordPress themes. The aesthetics and functionality of the theme do not need to hide behind its big theme brothers. Brooklyn was coded with love and you can see that in the details. And so the CSS3 animations are extremely smooth and the scrolling on the subpages of the Brooklyn theme is extremely fun. It has everything you need: parallax scrolling, a powerful grid system, FullWidth content, Video Backgrounds, Particle System, Team Sliders and Fullwidth Backgrounds. The demo layouts of the Brooklyn Themes also show the manifold possibilities of the layouts with the theme.

Our huge review provided you an overview of the latest and greatest WordPress Themes in 2019. The success story of WordPress does not end in 2019. Premium WordPress themes are springing up – but beware, not every WordPress theme does what it promises.
Almost 29% of all websites are now based on the successful CMS WordPress. WordPress is not only for beginners but also for advanced and professionals. The open source application initially starts as pure blog software. In 2019, however, WordPress has evolved into a Content Management System (CMS). Old CMS fell victim to WordPress, so CMS like Joomla or Drupal are a thing of the past. Even the highly complex Typo3 trembles before WordPress and has crept into its own CMS niche.
If you have not yet worked with WordPress, you should know that for designing a web page you only need 3 steps:
1. Learn WordPress
2. Install WordPress
Important: In order to enjoy your project in the long run, I recommend that you buy a professional, secure, fast and specialized wordpress hosting that offers excellent quality at an affordable price.
3. Buy the best WordPress Theme for your project
This is an essential factor. Choosing a good template or theme for WordPress will allow you to work easily and achieve a truly professional result. I do not recommend that you use free templates, as they are quite limited. For an approximate price that ranges between $ 40-60 $, you can purchase a premium professional WordPress Theme with which you can design a web page easily and in a short time.
How to choose a template or theme for WordPress?

WordPress Themes 2019 Conclusion
These were the best WordPress Themes 2019. The development of WordPress Themes is getting faster and faster. A “normal” theme hardly pulls anyone off the stool today. However, this has several advantages for you as a customer but also disadvantages. On the one hand, there are always great innovations in the themes, such as the header builder, live code editing but also countless demo layouts. On the other hand, the theme developers sometimes advertise with false or misleading statements (“Best WordPress Themes”, Google Pagespeed Scores, SEO-optimized, etc.). This makes the WordPress theme scene extremely confusing, especially for newcomers. Therefore, you should always enjoy the statements of some theme developers with caution.
If you are looking for your Super WordPress theme, have a look at the overview – in general: All WordPress themes are similar! They are based on WordPress. If you have something specific in mind (special navigation or special layout) just look at the theme demos and make sure that your desired elements are included in the theme.
Otherwise, I hope I could help you with the list and maybe you still have a suggestion for a great, new theme.
