It’s 2024 and you are looking for the best WordPress Theme that does it all, is great value, feature packed….and specialises in E-Commerce.
Sound right? Well keep reading.
At Boostcommerce, our aim is to find the best of the best in E-Commerce and take the guess work out of it for you. That’s why at the moment, we find it hard to overlook the Blocksy Pro Theme. It is a theme we have become very familiar with and have now used it in multiple projects.
It is lightening fast, has clean coding throughout, is fully responsive and most importantly is ecommerce ready.
Now, while there is a Free Version of the Blocksy Theme which is stacked with features and plenty to get your site up and running for E-Commerce we are going to concentrate on the paid Blocksy Pro version here. The reason for this being its Pro extensions, which are available in the Business and Agency plans.
The Pro Extensions cover a huge range of added extras,
The beauty of this plugin is it’s ability to cut the need for so many extra plugins. It is one of the most feature packed Themes we have used for site creation.
Elements such as Variation Swatches, Wishlist and Compare View for instance always used to mean at least 2 extra plugins for your online store so to cut down on the bloat and therefore increase site speed is a gamechanger.
On top of all the Pro Extensions you will get access to some beautiful Pre Built Starter Websites that you can install with the click of a few options and make your own. These range anywhere from a slick looking E-Bike Store to a product ready clothing store.
They are the ideal starting point for any user and you can make them your own simply by changing branding and imagery and then adding your stores products.
As WordPress Themes go Blocksy Pro is great value for money considering all you get under one roof. And if you want the ultimate value package you can also opt to go for a Lifetime Licence.
For $99 (approx €90) p/a you can grab the Business Package which will give you access to all the Pro Starter Kits and the Shop Extra Extension. Should you choose to go Lifetime this works out at just $299 (approx €275).
Bearing in mind both these options give you the licence for 10 Separate Site Installations the Business Package is incredible value.
If you are looking to start a Web Design Agency there is one more package that may interest you. Their top tier package offers all the above plus Unlimited Site Installations, and the ability to White Label the product to your own branding. This again has an annual and lifetime licence option working out at $149 (approx €140) and $499 (approx €460) respectively.
They are two very low risk options based on price and what’s on offer and based on my dealing with the company itself so far they are on the ball in every aspect whether it be customer service or updates.
The latest update pushed out added the ability to have an ‘added to cart pop up’ and a stock scarcity module. Both super options for elevating UX (user experience) and engaging the customer.
In summary, Blocksy Pro offers a comprehensive package for e-commerce sites to get your online store up and running, combining flexibility, performance, and advanced features to help you build a professional and efficient online store. Whether you’re starting a new venture or looking to upgrade your existing site, Blocksy Pro provides the tools and options to create a standout e-commerce presence.
