When you're building your website, it's hard to decide between a good
Wordpress theme and a bad one until you've installed it and gave it a go.
There are so many themes to download for free or to buy. I personally don't use free templates, they are too much trouble in most cases. And you have to filter through a lot of them to get anything original.
Here are some of the issues with Free Templates:
- Don't have good code
- use old technology
- aren't SEO friendly
- have links in them that you can't get rid of
- potential spyware
- Have limits on what you can edit
- aren't compatible with latest versions of Wordpress
- menus don't work properly
That's not to say that there aren't good free templates/themes out there, the only thing you need to be aware is that you need to check the code and ensure that it is actually free, and not have strings attached to it. Some companies release
free templates, so you can download them, install them, and then they have an additional link from your website to theirs, this is great for
SEO and link backs but you are stuck with some company's link on your website that you are not allowed to remove.
