Original design v. design theme template

  • Unknown's avatar

    We’re re-designing my site (using WordPress.) My web designer wants to build his own design theme from scratch rather than choosing a design theme template – like from StudioPress (which is what I was thinking to do.)

    What are the pros and cons either way?

    Here’s my concerns. (Are they founded?)

    1. If he builds his own will I have problems later on with plugins not working and WordPress upgrades not working?

    2. How do I know his design will work on mobile?

    3. How do I know his design will be fast loading?

    4. If there are things that need to be fixed or I need to make changes later, does it mean I’ll probably need to go back to him for help?

    Thanks! Advice welcome.

    Hi there,

    That’s wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting.

    I’m sorry but you are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here at wordpress.COM because that site is not hosted here, our support docs do not apply to it, and we do not provide support for sites we do not host.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
