|  | | Theme is a required component of WordPress that governs the look of your website. From the footer, footer, single post, archive pages, etc. A WordPress theme allows you to create a unique website in terms of look.
|
In 2018, Elementor 2.0 was released. The release included a theme builder feature, which later became a game changer. With the feature, you can customize every single part of your WordPress website without touching a single line. You can create a custom template for header, footer, blog posts, archive pages, to custom post types. A theme builder offers more design controls than any theme.
|
Elementor is not the only theme builder, though. In late 2019, Elegant Themes (the developer of Divi) also introduced its theme builder for Divi Builder.
|
In case you didn't know. Each WordPress theme has template files that govern the layout of your site parts. For instance, a header.php is a template file that governs the layout of site header. A theme builder works by replacing the default template files of your theme. A theme builder allows you to create a custom template for a certain site part in a visual way.
|
So, is it still relevant to rely on a theme in today's theme builder era?
|
Well, themes still have a place. For casual users who just need WordPress to create a simple blog with minimum customization, theme is a great fit. You can use a theme builder when you need more control over the layouts of your site parts.
