AVADA WEBSHOPS
Webshops are sprouting up on the internet faster than cat videos go viral. So, it's no shocker that Avada is all geared up and ready to build some shop-tastic sites. In the bustling world of online shopping, Woocommerce has become the go-to dance partner for both rookies and pros. And Avada? It's like Woocommerce's perfect prom date – compatible, charming, and plays well with all the popular Woocommerce plugins. It's like having a fairy godmother for your webshop, but with better tech support.
Imagine lining up your products in up to six columns on category pages – it's like having your own digital storefront window. While penning this Avada Theme review, I couldn't help but tip my hat to the smorgasbord of special Woocommerce options Avada brings to the table. We're talking product sliders and carousels that make your items look like they're on a fashion runway, quickview for the speedy shoppers, and search functions that could find a needle in a haystack. And this isn't just a happy accident; the Avada and Woocommerce teams are like peanut butter and jelly, working together in perfect harmony to bring you these snazzy features.
AVADA'S FUSION BUILDER
Avada claims their Fusion Builder is the best page builder in the galaxy, but hold your horses – let's add a pinch of reality here. Sure, Fusion Builder is a star, but it's not quite in the constellation of the top 3 page builders. Those spots are reserved for the likes of the Divi Builder, Elementor, and Thrive Architect. But hey, let's not dim Fusion Builder's shine – it's still a pretty nifty tool for crafting websites.
Imagine Fusion Builder as your friendly neighborhood drag-and-drop architect. It's got some cool tricks up its sleeve, like saving layouts to reuse on a rainy day. Need a button? A slider? An image? Titles? Fusion Builder’s got more than 60 different elements, ready to jazz up your site like a band at a Mardi Gras parade. And shortcodes? Throw them in the mix and watch the magic happen. It's like having a magic wand for your website's design!
AVADA'S FOOTER BUILDER
Avada's like the Willy Wonka of web design when it comes to crafting 404 pages, search pages, and the whole shebang of footers and headers. You get the golden ticket to design freedom – sprinkle your personal flavor on every page like a master chef seasoning a gourmet dish. Avada elevates these functions to a culinary art form compared to most themes. But just when you think you've seen it all, along comes Divi, strutting in like a gourmet critic, subtly reminding us that it still holds the Michelin star in this department.
AVADA'S DEMO IMPORTER
Think of Avada's demo importer as your website's fairy godmother. With just a click, it transforms a complete demo website into the starting blocks for your own web creation. Swap the logo, update the images, tweak the text, and voilà – you're halfway to having a website that screams 'you'. But let's be real, this is a party trick that all the top themes have up their sleeve.
Avada brings 66 complete website demos to the table, not to be mistaken for mere demo pages – that’s like comparing a full-course meal to a snack. While 66 might sound like a lot, Divi struts in with a whopping 120+. But hey, it's not just about numbers; both themes pack a punch in demo quality, like comparing two top chefs' signature dishes.
AVADA THEME REVIEW: SETTINGS
With Avada, managing settings is like sorting your socks – easy and straightforward. They've cleverly separated page settings from the whole website settings, making it a no-brainer even for beginners. It's like Avada's got a filing cabinet where everything's neatly labeled. And when it comes to completeness, Avada's settings are like a Swiss Army knife – they've thought of everything!
After years of tinkering and tweaking by their all-star team, it's no wonder everything in Avada clicks just right. Whether you're a seasoned web designer or just starting, navigating through Avada's settings is as smooth as scrolling through your favorite social media feed.
AVADA'S MEGAMENU
Who needs a separate plugin for a mega menu when you've got Avada? It's like having a secret weapon in your web design arsenal. Avada comes with one of the slickest mega menus out there for Wordpress – no extra shopping required. This mega menu is like a yoga instructor – super flexible.
You can tweak the height and width down to the pixel, orchestrate rows and columns like a conductor, or just go full width for that grandiose look. Want to add a bit of pizzazz? Pop in some icons or images next to your menu items. And the best part? You can have up to a six-column spread. It’s like setting up a buffet for your website visitors – everyone finds something they like!
AVADA'S SUPPORT
Imagine a superhero team dedicated just to supporting your Avada adventures – that's exactly what you get. Avada has a squad of 20 people, not just any folks, but ultra-professional, seasoned pros in the art of theme support. Need help? It's like having a hotline to web design wizards. You won't be twiddling your thumbs waiting for an answer; these support heroes are on the ball, ready to swoop in with solutions faster than you can say "web design dilemma."
AVADA: MY OPINION
Drumroll, please, for the grand finale of this Avada Theme review for [2024]! Avada is like the Swiss Army knife of themes – you dream it, and Avada builds it. It's so multifunctional, it could probably make a cup of coffee if you asked nicely. The theme builder? It's like a friendly butler, efficient and clear, guiding you through the web design mansion with ease.
Avada is perfect for rookies stepping into the web design ring for the first time, but it's also got enough muscle for the seasoned pros. Shortcomings? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Sure, an A-B test tool and pop-ups like its cousin Divi might be the cherry on top, but let's be honest – Avada's already a pretty sweet deal without them.
AVADA PRICING
Pricing up the Avada theme at $60? Sounds like a deal. But here’s a twist – throw in an extra $30, and you can snag the Divi Theme, the James Bond of themes. While Avada gives you a license for one website, Divi is like an all-you-can-eat buffet – use it on as many sites as your heart desires.
And speaking of alternatives, let's talk about the world's best-selling theme, Divi. It's like comparing a luxury car to a reliable sedan. For a bit more cash, Divi doesn't just give you a theme; it's like a golden ticket to a theme park, with 86 other premium themes and a bunch of fancy plugins. Opt for the lifetime support at $249, and it's like having a web design butler for life. And hey, if you're humming and hawing, take a gander at our Divi Theme or waltz over to the real Divi website to see the glitz and glamour for yourself.
JUPITER THEME (Jupiter vs Avada)
This Jupiter review will show you what a great theme Jupiter is. With 168.104+ sales the Jupiter theme of Artbees from the start in 2013 has been one of the best-selling WordPress themes at ThemeForest. Apart from the fact that it has been in the top for almost 7 years, it has a beautiful 4.75 star rating. More than 5,000 reviews were issued at the start of [2024], which means that practically all buyers are extremely satisfied with the theme they have purchased. Jupiter not only has everything to be able to build a stunning website, it was built on speed. The pages load very quickly and it has a good SEO.
Artbees is steadily continuing to improve this theme and provide more demos. So the totally new version Jupiter X was recently released with lots of new gadgets and now supported by the Elementor pagebuilder. We are enthusiastic about the use of the Elementor page builder because in principle there is no better one besides the Divi Builder. Elementor also offers extra extensions that will be of great help to you when building your blog, webshop or website. The Elementor pagebuilder offers enormous flexibility and together with the Customizer tools in Jupiter X is that everything you need for your project.
Jupiter X-theme review complete list of functions
Jupiter X currently has no less than 240+ different demo sites . These are divided into 8 categories. These demo sites are built using the Elementor page builder which means that this can also be used to edit the demos. Elementor page builder is the tool for making quick adjustments and building new content.
Jupiter X comes bundled with a number of top extensions to give even more power to Elementor:
- Raven - Raven has been developed by Artbees itself to add extra widgets to Elementor with which one can adjust the header & footer without having to buy the PRO version from Elementor.
- Jet add-ons - More of the same, also the JET plug-ins add more widgets and functions to Elementor to make editing your site even easier.
Built into Jupiter X are a number of premium plug-ins - including, for example, the 3 best slider plug-ins that can be found for Wordpress: Revolution Slider, LayerSlider and Master Slider, and the Bakery pagebuilder.
Header, footer and page content can easily be adjusted with Elementor. The same goes for the portfolio and blog pages thanks to the Elementor widgets that were added via the add-on plug-ins. The Worpdress Customizer is used for all other types of adjustments such as global styling, single blog pages or Woocommerce shopping pages.
Importing templates
We will now import one of the demo sites we discussed above in this Jupiter X review. After installing the Jupiter X theme you immediately install the required and additional plug-ins via the installation wizard.
Via the Template Area (Jupiter X >> Templates) you can quickly import a demo website by clicking on "import" and then selecting your desired demo. It is possible to preview the demo first.
New Elementor widgets and templates
Another advantage of the bundled Elementor extensions of the new Jupiter X is that you get a lot of new widgets available:
In addition, you also get new Jupiter X block templates that you can use, as well as:
Elementor Header Builder
To help you create your header, Jupiter X starts with 20 different header-templates to pick from. From there you can further customize things with your new Elementor widgets. Jupiter X supports mega menus, sticky headers, and transparent headers. And you also get the option to use different headers, depending on the device of a visitor. For example, you can choose to use a side menu with sliders on mobile devices.
Blog, archive & portfolio builder
The bundled Elementor add-ons also give you a number of widgets with which you can display blog posts and portfolio items on your website. You can use this to construct special archive pages. For example, first ask yourself what kind of content should be displayed, say blog posts vs portfolio items. Afterwards you can style the rest with Elementor and choose which elements to include such as the name of the author.
Jupiter X WordPress Customizer
For other changes we use the Wordpress Customizer with all elements installed by Jupiter. Instead of using the standard sidebar control in the Customizer, we use the custom pop-up setting frame in Jupiter X which appears as soon as you click on an item in the customizer:
Scrolling vertically can make it difficult to use the WordPress Customizer. The pop-up can be dragged across the screen so that it does not get in the way of what you are doing. The 2 most important functions in the customizer are:
Blog single layout
The first of these 2 functions is the management of your blog posts (including the archive, but adapting with Elementor) regarding layout and design. Jupiter X already comes with different choices of beautiful blog layouts. Multiple functions can be switched on and off and metadata can be added. The buttons for social sites and related messages immediately caught the eye of writer of theme reviews. These can also be turned off if desired.
WooCommerce-shop customizer
Woocommerce shop owners will be particularly pleased with the many customization options for both store pages and product pages:
Other Customizer settings
In addition to the settings for Woocommerce and the single blog page in the customizer, it naturally has many more settings such as: colors, fonts, header behavior, sidebar settings, footer settings.
The 404 and maintenance page can also be adjusted, which even makes it possible to use an Elementor template for these 2 functions. A third-party maintenance mode plugin is superfluous with Jupiter X because that function is already included.
Jupiter X page/post level check
Via the meta-box post options you get additional settings in Jupiter X if you work with a single post or page. This offers extra flexibility when working with the WP editor and Elementor. Settings that can be adjusted here include spacing, sidebar usage, adjusting the layout including its width. Switching styles, header, footer or title bar settings, related posts and social can also be set here.
Compatible with WPML
Jupiter X vs Avada conclusion
First of all, thank you for reading this Jupiter vs Avada comparison to the end. Both themes have a great team behind them and they are very good themes with which you can go in all directions. With the infinite settings, everything can be adjusted in both themes without html knowledge. Both themes offer beautiful 1-click-install layouts. My opinion is that Avada is better known and therefore sells better, the quality is almost the same. Jupiter works with a better page builder than Avada, namely Elementor Free. If you can spare some money make it Pro, Elementor Pro is the pick of the salmon in page builder area.
If you only need to theme 1 single site, these themes are okay. If you want more value for money, it is better to buy a theme that you can use on as many sites as you want and at the same time are even better themes. My tip is buy Divi, best sold and appreciated theme in the world or possibly Astra if you want to work with a super-fast theme.
