Brenda Michelin: Stay away from anything Themeforest. IF you are choosing a Page Builder to help, select either Elementor or Beaver Builder exclusively. Start with a great, professional base them like GeneratePress Pro or Astra Pro. And have fun.
Craig Anthony: a page builder vs a pre made theme ? How editable are themes ? If they have 4 rows then 3 then 2. I guess i can change them ? would i need a page builder to fo that or do i do it within the theme ?
Brenda Michelin: Craig Anthony Cannot give you a blanket answer. All themes are created differently with different features/abilities.
Ata Ur Rehman: I would say, you know note down your requirements and then find out best theme for you that actually fits to your requirements. Before buying a theme, do check its loading time with the help of GTmetrix. Also make sure to choose a theme with easy navigation. You wouldn`t wanna lose any user on your website just because of bad ux.
