In this Be Theme review we pay attention to the pros and cons of this great theme. What is immediately striking is that the design is fairly simple but very stylish.

BeTheme review layouts


To be honest, I have to say that the Be Theme is perfect for creating a cool site that works really well, but for a real top website where they want to pay a lot of attention and make a great impression ... it is better to use a different premium theme. Reviews for such themes can be found in our overview of top themes for [2023]. The Be Theme is perfect for the beginner!

Be Theme review: WP Bakery Pagebuilder

BeTheme WP Bakery Pagebuilder


Instead of using the Muffin Builder, use the WP Bakery pagebuilder, a page builder with more fame then this is possible, this is also supplied in the Be Theme. The choice is yours. This page builder also works with drag & drop and is also a great tool to be able to build beautiful pages with great freedom and to purchase them separately, you have lost no less than $ 64. Personally, this is one of my favorite page builder because it features practically all the top themes and there are many add-ons for it.

New: Elementor compatibility

Since 2021, the BeTheme has also been equipped with Elementor, and with quite a few extra widgets as shown below.

The BeTheme supports the use of parallax backgrounds that will leave a pleasant impression for your site with your audience. Full width and video backgrounds are also possible.

X-STORE THEME (X-Store vs BeTheme)

X-Store Theme review


X-STORE THEME REVIEW

X-Store is one of the Woocommerce themes that stand out due to its high number of shop demos and numerous special shop features. The theme comes with the most popular page builder out there, Elementor and the Bakery page builder. This theme was specially developed for the construction of web shops and that is noticeable. I can tell you in advance that this is a fantastic theme because I have created a number of shops with it.

X-STORE: RATING

Below you can see the rating that X-Store Theme gets from people who bought the theme, and an average of 4.85 is a score that is rare with themes on the Themeforest Marketplace. This usually means that except for a few haters, everyone gave 5 stars.

X-STORE: INSTALLATION AND DEMOS

Installing X-Store Theme is very easy. The theme does not have a free version so you will have to buy it first and it can simply be installed via the standard Wordpress theme installer.

It is recommended to install one of the many ready-to-go designs. X-Store offers no less than 100+ webshop demos. These are beautiful complete designs for web shops in many niches such as furniture, tools, clothing, etc. In addition, there are 350+ complete sections that you can use in your designs.

X-Store Theme comes standard with the Bakery Pagebuilder and the Elementor page builder. Elementor is one of the best page builders out there and especially when we talk about the pro version, so it certainly stands out for my choice. But all 100+ shop demos have both an Elementor and Bakery version as seen above, the choice is yours.

X-STORE: SPEEDTEST

We perform a speed test on X-Store under quite optimal conditions, so with cache plug-in and all images optimized. This theme does not indicate that it is specialized on loading times, but the results are excellent as can be seen in the image below.

X-STORE REVIEW: CSS/JS GENERATOR

One of the top features that the theme offers to achieve great loading times is the option to only be able to pack the necessary CSS and Javascript together. Thus, your pages will not load any code that is not used on the page.

X-STORE: HEADER BUILDER

Advanced styling options and multiple HTML elements in the headers, anything is possible. X-Store also has a lot of standard header styles that can be installed with 1 click.



X-STORE: WOO PRODUCT PAGEBUILDER

Okay, let's start with the countless Woocommerce features that X-Store offers. With the Woocommerce Product Pagebuilder you can really customize everything on the product pages without having any technical knowledge. You will be amazed at the ease with which you can style your page yourself.

X-STORE: WOOCOMMERCE AJAX FEATURES

Ajax more or less means that you do not have to go to another page for certain actions, but that they run via a pop-up. Search, filter, wish list and shopping cart can all be opened in a pop up. You can set all this yourself, what is and what is not.

X-STORE: WOOCOMMERCE EMAIL BUILDER

I have been a web designer for 15 years and many customers want to be able to check the emails sent by their shop. There have been plugins for this for a number of years, but this is the first time that I see that a theme has integrated it. X-Store thinks of everything you could wish for in your shop, we have a top Woocommerce theme to do here.



X-STORE: WOO OFF-CANVAS FEATURES

A number of topics have already been discussed above at "Ajax features" so I will not list everything. Below in the image you can see that products can be viewed quickly, your account information or your shopping cart.

X-STORE REVIEW: PREMIUM PLUGINS

To be honest, I don't know of any other theme that has over $ 500 worth of 3rd party plugins in its arsenal. Of course there are certainly themes that have practically all functions of these plugins and more just as standard in their theme, such as with Divi Theme is the case.

X-STORE THEME REVIEW: PRICING

In my opinion, the price of $ 39 is very okay, but only if you are looking for a good webshop theme for only 1 project. In the case of 2 or more web shops, other themes are much more attractively priced and in some cases even better than X-Store. Check here the best webshop themes for [2023]. X-Store is so specialized in the webshop that if you are looking for a theme for a different type of project such as a blog or company website, I would certainly choose another theme.


X-STORE THEME REVIEW: CONCLUSION

There is nothing bad to say about this theme. This is one of the best themes there is to build web shops and it is rising in the rankings and it is better with every upgrade. It works perfectly with the Elementor page builder and that's great too. Yet it is true that, as I indicated in the chapter for the price above, that boss is boss.

The perfect theme for shops & websites is Divi and Astra is a very close second. These themes can be installed on multiple sites and the Divi Theme for example costs only $ 89, and comes with the Divibuilder full version! X-Store comes with Elementor, but that's the free version we're talking about, not the pro version.

X-Store vs BeTheme conclusion

First of all, thank you for reading this Be-Theme vs X-Store comparison to the end. The Be-Theme excels in its huge number of demo designs for every niche and that is very practical for many web designers who can assemble any type of website so quickly. When we talk about quality, however, X-Store is much better off when it comes to building web shops. The designs are nicer and more professional, especially for shops. Both the Be-Theme and X-Store are compatible with the Elementor page builder. We recommend installing Elementor Pro if you can spare some money. Both themes are worth their money if you are looking for a theme for just one website.

In case you want to provide 2 or more websites with a theme, I do not recommend both of these themes because then it will be much too expensive, since a separate expensive license will be required for each website. In that case, you can much better Astra or Divi as it will save you money for multiple sites. In addition, these latter themes are ranked higher in my top 10 themes for [2023] than Be-Theme and X-Store.
