WordPress is a magical website building system. At present, 43% of websites in the world are built by WordPress, and the number is still growing. One of the reasons why WordPress is so popular is that it has a flexible theme and plug-in mechanism. For example, plug-ins with different functions can extend WordPress to extremely powerful, and themes with different styles can make WordPress's foreground interface ever-changing.
As a result, many WordPress enthusiasts have developed thousands of excellent themes. Among them, Avada, The7, Beththeme and other powerful intelligent themes have gradually become the leaders of many themes. The biggest feature of this type of theme is that it provides users with a drag and drop operation interface. That is, although users only install one theme, they can design hundreds or more styles of interfaces by dragging and dropping without writing a piece of code. This is really a good news for many programmers. In addition, these smart themes with good sales volume are generally maintained by a professional team, so the interface design is very exquisite, and the responsive multi end adaptation is also impeccable. Therefore, many site building enthusiasts and even some professional company teams are increasingly interested in intelligent themes.
So, is the smart theme of WordPress really perfect? Of course not. We often say that every good thing has its disadvantages. For example, the visual drag and drop operations of WordPress intelligent themes are actually based on a large number of logical judgments. These seemingly easy and simple operations are actually at the expense of operating efficiency. Although these sacrifices are not obvious to users in terms of computer speed, they will be highlighted in the case of high access and high concurrency. In addition, based on the current development status, the most excellent intelligent themes are developed abroad, and most of the foreign themes will call Google fonts, so putting these themes on domestic servers will greatly affect the access speed and display effect. Although we can solve these problems by modifying the source code or plug-ins, the subsequent effort is not worth the effort, considering the continuous update of the official.
In addition, it should be noted that no matter how flexible the drag and drop operation of WordPress intelligent theme is, it is still within the framework designed by the developer in advance, and is still subject to many restrictions. And it can be imagined that if we really intend to operate a website in a down-to-earth manner, after the website is built, our main energy should be focused on the content and operation, and once the website interface is fixed, it will not change frequently. Therefore, for a specific website, only one of the multiple interface styles of intelligent theme is really used.
Therefore, if there are higher requirements for efficiency and personality, I think customized website building is a better choice. As customized station building is designed one-to-one directly according to individual requirements, it does not need to judge the redundancy of code, and is the most direct and efficient in operation efficiency; The corresponding interface and function design also operate the underlying code directly, and can have the highest level of control. These advantages are incomparable to intelligent themes. Of course, customized website construction requires relatively high technology. If it is self-developed, it needs to master relevant technology. If it does not have its own conditions, reliable third-party cooperation is also a good choice.
These are the advantages and disadvantages of WordPress intelligent theme and customized theme. The final choice depends on your own actual needs.
