In this article, we will tell you about custom WordPress theme and how to customize them.
Let’s have a quick look at normal WordPress themes and custom WordPress themes.
Normal WordPress themes are predefined themes that are limited to specific functionality and looks. When you add the extra features and functionality to it, you convert it to a custom WordPress theme.
For instance, we recently purchased the WordPress theme for an e-commerce site and it lacked certain features. Being the team of developers we customized it to the theme we wanted.
When purchasing a theme it’s always best to go for a custom WordPress theme so that it looks like the one you wanted and not just some preset theme. There are three ways in which you can get custom WordPress themes.

Yes, you heard me right. You too can customize your theme. All that require is to learn HTML5, CSS, Javascript and PHP. You will find number of good related tutorials in Lynda, Udemy, tutplus etc. If you’re an inquisitive person like me, you can go for this option. It will save your pocket.

Third-Party Vendor
If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can hire a third-party vendor. All you need to do is tell them your requirements, their team of developers will take it up from there. Most of these vendors are ready to provide their services at genuine prices.
