I’m building a site for my Creative Agency and
I’m having a hard time with the theme, because a lot of the templates offered by most themes feel very basic and unoriginal/uninspired.
I was initially considering Astra or OceanWP, but after more research it seems there may be better options like Phlox or Jupiter X.
I want a visit to my website, if even for 30 seconds, to feel like an experience – not just any other business website.
While I want the site to be creative, I also don’t want to spend a ton of time on it. I’ll put in the work but this can’t be a monthlong project.
I’ll likely be creating some sort of hero video/photo montage with text layover, and also be incorporating parallax effects and mouse hover interactivity. I’ll be using Elementor Pro, as it looks to be able to achieve many of the features I want, without a steep learning curve.
Any suggestions between these themes to achieve the level of creativity I’m aiming for, without heavy customization?
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t have experience with Phlox / Jupiter, but do with Astra and OnceanWP. Of the 2 I prefer Astra as the lighter weight option. I used Elementor + OceanWP heavily a few years back and it was a huge performance drag. Can’t knock how easy it makes design for the average person, but it’s it comes with serious trade offs.
Lol
