True that the market is flooded with premium WordPress themes trying to add every possible feature available. But out of those premium themes one has to decide which one suits their design and aesthetics style as well as which features are really needed. We have gathered a list of the major features which one may check out apart from the ones we mentioned now:
1.Slider compatibility: This is an important feature because many times we have to change the default slider with something fancy. Or sometimes clients need a simple image carousel slider and the complex layered sliders dont fit the bill. One should notice the WordPress themes which allow for easy change of their sliders.
2.Plugins compatibility like WooCommerce: There are several thousand WordPress plugins available in the market. But for opening a shop one relies on the popular plugin like WooCommerce. Similarly for opening a photo gallery one checks NextGen Gallery. Hence premium WordPress themes which are compatible with majorly popular plugins are obvious choice for customers.
3.Multilingual plugins compatibility like WPML or qTranslate X: This is a major feature since most users might need a multilingual website where the company offices are in different location or they have to cater to different sets of users from different countries. Hence check for the WordPress premium themes which are compatible with WPML or qTranslate X majorly as these 2 plugins are very popular.
4.Customer Support: Customer support if is bad for any theme one should avoid those types of themes from those developers. Also one should check the type of support provided. Many theme developers just point to a documentation and dont bother properly answering questions for theme users.
5.Security and secured coding: Security of a theme is of utmost important. Because many WordPress themes can be hacked. Hence try to choose a theme with minimal bundled plugins in it.
6.SEO Standards: Check if proper H1, h2 and meta and alt tags have been used in coding or source code of a theme.
7.Speed: It is very important that one has a fast loading website because the faster the website loads, the faster people can access information and contact you in case of business websites. Hence page speed and load time are very important in considering a premium WordPress theme.
8.Responsive and Google mobile friendly: Most of the premium WordPress themes nowadays are responsive and Google mobile friendly. But still if the themes are developed prior to 2014 and look good one should check it and ensure that the theme is responsive and Google mobile friendly as this is important post 2015 Google mobilegeddon update.
9.Lesser use of shortcodes and custom post types: It is true that many themes load their content from several shortcodes and by the use of custom post types. Try to check documentation for these themes and find out if most of the content is loaded using them. It should be a tendency for customers to avoid using such WordPress themes with premium features because if you change the theme all your changes and content also loses along with the theme.
10.Color change options: Color changing options are very important while considering a premium WordPress theme so that one can change the look and feel of the theme as per requirement.
