Top 5 Best WooCommerce Themes

1. Divi

Divi is a premium WordPress theme compatible with the e-commerce extension, WooCommerce. This theme, developed by Elegant Themes, includes a page builder called the Divi Builder and hundreds (over 800!) pre-designed designs. If you're new to WordPress or love building pixel-perfect websites, this is THE theme and page builder for you.

As soon as you have installed WooCommerce via your WordPress dashboard, you will be able to find WooCommerce-specific modules in the Divi builder. This will allow you to build custom product pages. It's true that WooCommerce's default product pages aren't very attractive…or flexible for that matter! To customize them with a classic theme, it will often be necessary to use CSS code.

With Divi and the Divi Builder, these galleys are over! You can place your product descriptions, product prices, photos, buy button, etc., wherever you want on your listings. Only your creativity will be your limit.

Moreover, Divi also embeds what it calls a “theme builder” allowing you to even build your header and your footer as you see fit. We already told you, there are no limits with Divi ;-)

Maybe you've heard rumors that Divi is a heavy theme that can make your online store slow to load? Be aware that since the last update (4.10) of Divi, this has become completely false. Divi is now a fast theme, which will allow you to create a professional online store and whose performance will be unbeatable.

If you decide to create your e-commerce for free thanks to EasyHoster's turnkey site, you can benefit from Divi and the Divi Builder for free. Plus, this includes automatic theme updates all year round. The pre-designed shop is free! You only pay for the accommodation costs.

Note that Astra is fully compatible with WooCommerce. It can therefore be part of your considerations for the creation of your online store. Beyond its WooCommerce compatible aspect, it is important to know that Astra offers different modules allowing you to fully customize your e-commerce.

For example, you can configure your own sidebars, you can put a place for product galleries, infinite scrolls allowing you to see all of your products on a single page, and much more.

Brainstorm, the developer team of the Astra theme, puts a lot of emphasis on the fact that thanks to their theme, you will be able to fully customize your WooCommerce store from the structure of your product pages to the purchase channel and variations. shop colors.

3.Flatsome

Flatsome is a WordPress theme which is of course also compatible with WooCommerce and available on Envato's marketplace, ThemeForest.net. This theme was designed by the UX-themes team.

4.BeTheme

BeTheme is a WordPress theme also present on ThemeForest and which was developed by MuffinGroup. It has just been updated a few days ago (October 26, 2021) and now has almost all the features that its competitors have offered until now.

It is an e-commerce theme compatible with Elementor page builder that will allow you to create a stunning online store in just a few clicks.

Indeed, BeTheme embeds, in particular, a “website installer” which will allow you to import the design of your choice among the 600 layouts that they have made available to you. You can even, if you wish, mix and match the pre-designed designs to obtain the shop of your dreams. Do you like the header of this demo but rather the footer of this other demo?

5. WoodMart

WoodMart, the latest WordPress-WooCommerce theme in this ranking, is also a theme for sale on ThemeForest.net. Just like BeTheme, WoodMart has just been updated. Decidedly, the competition is fierce in the world of WordPress themes for e-commerce!

Xtemos, the developers of WoodMart, is proud to announce that they have greatly improved the performance of their theme which is now 2 times faster than before! They have, in fact, reduced the weight of their CSS style sheet. This has gone from 750Ko to only 300Ko! Likewise, they have improved the loading time of JS files.

Moreover, just like Divi in ​​its last update, 4.10, Xtemos has decided to improve the performance of its theme by allowing the theme to only load the necessary CSS for each page visited by the Internet user. The theme, no longer loading the entire CSS on each display, necessarily gains milliseconds in terms of its performance!

WoodMart is compatible with Elementor and WPBakery page builders. On the other hand, unlike the other themes in this ranking, WoodMart only comes with around seventy pre-designed designs… but who knows, maybe you'll still find what you're looking for in this limited choice?

WoodMart is a fully responsive theme, of course, but also “retina-ready” (that is to say compatible with the retina screens of the latest Macintosh computers) and optimized for better results on Google PageSpeed ​​Insights.
