Is this site a WordPress theme or a custom design?

Hello everyone,

I've found a website and I'm curious about if this site is a WordPress theme or a custom design. I really loved the design and I'm planning to use it in one of my projects. Here's the link of it: https://get.properties/

If you have any insights or thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Also, if you know of any other similar themes or resources, you can share them with me.

Thanks for your help!

 

This is a WordPress website and is using premium theme.

 

This theme name is "LEVELUP - Responsive Creative Multipurpose WordPress Theme" and you can find many other multipurpose theme easily there. This theme is available on Themeforest.

 

Here's a useful website to know the theme on a website: https://whatwpthemeisthat.com

 

I think this is good one.

 

this is a common WP theme.
either the theme itself is sloppy or the implementation is sloppy

 

The Digital Point Forums website appears to be a custom design, not a WordPress theme. It runs on XenForo, a popular forum software.

 

Good one, what?
That site design?
Are you kidding?
That design is all sorts of awkward, crooked, and sloppy, the margins are not aligned....
...

 

Looks as if they bought a theme and didn`t understand how to use the tools available within the theme builder or page builder so they just installed the demo data and changed the content.

 

How can you call it a good WordPress theme if its design relies on third-party constructors and elements?
All these theme developers just create a simple base and then add third-party builders, elements, and plugins that stop working after each major update.

 

We have to keep things in context think of Bane and Batman in the Dark Knight Returns, for the initiated good and theme don`t belong in the same sentence generally speaking so this would not even be a conversation but when we are talking the uninitiated, there`s still a criteria even if we are saying a bad option is better than the worst option. The things that makes theme`s terrible choices for us are the very things that are appealing to people who are in the market for $60+ themes and who think that they can buy a theme, click demo import, change some photos and text and everything will work out perfectly. Generally speaking they`d probably be in more trouble with a custom build that used only 2 or 3 plugins and a lot of code and CSS because its still Wordpress and s**t still goes sideways with just about every major update and most of them won`t want to pay for managed maintenance...

 

The problem isn’t WordPress, it’s the user who doesn’t want to learn and expects everything to work with one click.
I've never had any problems with WordPress, not with free themes, not with premium ones, not with my own.
And yes, I do updates.

 

Exactly and those are the people the bloated themes are targeting. People who don`t want to learn the basics of the system and just want everything to work when they push the install demo button and also people offering design services who don`t want to or can`t build their own elements. With that said these types of themes can be useful to people who are interested in learning and the process or are just running a low cost site farm/monthly site service as they will use the elements to put together their own pages and templates as opposed to just relying on the 1 click demo install.

 

The thing is, it's not enough to just buy a theme and be done with it.
Either you need to find a specialist (and that's hard because everyone calls themselves a pro), or you need to learn it yourself...
In any case, you have to understand WordPress like an advanced user.
Even if you don’t have the time and delegate the task to someone else, you still need to understand how WordPress works.
It doesn't work only for the lazy ones, who always blame WordPress, the theme author, or claim the stars weren't aligned when the theme was installed.
Paid themes, in 90% of cases, are the same basic layout with a lot of bugs and glitches as free ones but with a bunch of third-party plugins and a page builder...
You’ll still have to work if you want your website to work correctly.

Before I created my own theme, I checked more than 200 different themes (both free and premium).
And although they all worked fine for me (because I fixed all the code), the quality of all these themes was still terrible.
The layout wasn’t clean, too many divs one inside another one and they both inside another one, no logic in the structure, often elements had different paddings and margins...
In my 10 years of working with WordPress, I haven’t seen a single theme where I didn’t have to fix something.

BTW, I'm not a WordPress specialist, especially wasn't 10 years ago, but even then I could fix and launch the site because I spent a few days learning the WordPress structure.
All people need is to spend a few hours understanding it, but they don't want to...
The only thing they want is a big red button to press and make everything professional.
But it doesn’t work this way... not in WordPress, nor in anything else.
