You’ve picked your CMS – WordPress.
You’ve got your domain name and WordPress hosting.
You’ve installed WordPress and you’re wondering – which theme should I be using?
Up to this point, setting up your website has proven to be a breeze. Now you’re lost in a sea of thousands of different themes, templates and page builders.
In most cases, when someone is looking for a WordPress theme that offers flexibility, they want a theme they can use for many different purposes and that allows them to create exactly the site they want.
To do so, it needs to be adaptable enough to let you realize any vision you have for your site and pages.
In addition to that, it will preferably allow you to do so yourself, without the help of a developer or needing to learn PHP. Because, let’s face it, if you wanted to customize WordPress with the help of a professional, you would simply hire one.
So, a flexible WordPress theme needs to be highly customizable and allow you to change whatever you want about your site without creating new templates or diving into code. Alternatively, a theme can also be considered flexible if it does require coding but makes this exceedingly easy. You will find examples for both in the list below.
Alright, now that we have the definition out of the way, let’s get to the actual themes.
We are starting off with one of the most successful themes on the market. The Divi theme alone boasts half a million users.
For good reason. Divi is flexible and powerful, comes with its own drag-and-drop page builder and allows you to build any type of website: portfolios, business sites, online shops, blogs and more. To make this exceedingly easy, it has modules and layouts for many different purposes and customization options that let you create unique page designs at will.
Features
Next up is a completely free multi-purpose theme with a wide range of features and full 5/5 rating in the WordPress directory.

This one is one of my favorite options. I use it for pretty much all websites I build. Genesis is a framework on which you can create any type of website. The company also offers a wide range of child themes for many purposes that act as jump-off points.
However, Genesis is generally not very beginner friendly. While it makes customization easy for developers with its huge number of hooks, less tech-savvy users are better off using one of the child themes that let you customize your site via widgets and the Customizer. Or use the next option.
Features
For those who want to use the Genesis theme but aren’t into coding, there is Dynamik. Technically a Genesis child theme, it’s a powerful website builder for the Genesis framework.
