As a graphic designer. I sometimes do WP websites for small clients. WordPress was a godsend for me as a non-coder. Many years ago I started with some themes, but gradually they all went out of business and I had to move the websites. Was a pain!
So I looked around and went with Avada (user base numbers and reviews at the time). Since then, I made many websites using Avada. Made a reasonable amount of money and clients were very happy.
I don’t hate Avada as some here do and I find it very easy to use, maybe muscle memory. I can use my creativity to mould the website completely away from the theme-template look most go for.
**My main crit of Avada-**
\- Bit bloated, but the performance thing that they introduced, does help a bit by turning off unused elements.
\- Desktop performance numbers excellent, but mobile numbers drop like stone!
**So, I want to put some of my eggs in a new basket. The important question for me is-**
**1)** Which WP theme is better and can be moulded to any graphic needs and has user numbers, I don’t want to go with some theme that will be here today gone tomorrow.
**2)** Great performance on Mobile and Desktop + no SEO issues.
**3)** WP or no WP? One designer was telling me that Squarspace is the future?\*? I like control, and not sure that I like the whole concept of Squarespace and the likes. Would still appreciate your input.
Thanks for your time.

Since you’re a designer I would say possibly look at web flow. I don’t mind square space but you are locked in a lot more.
Genesis is also a good theme but might be too skeletal
