EXTRA THEME (Minimog vs Extra)

Extra Theme Review


The Extra Theme excels in options for blogs and magazines...

The Extra Theme was introduced to the public in 2015 by Elegant Themes marketed as the second most important theme next to their bestseller, the Divi Theme. Extra comes with the same page builder and structure as the Divi Theme, which is highly praised for this. The DiviBuilder, together with Elementor, is the best available in this area. I personally rate the Divibuilder a bit higher. Elementor works very nicely but it doesn't have a real inline text editor (yet). The Extra Theme is therefore equipped as standard with the best possible components.

Extra Theme Ratings

Elegant Themes does not have a rating system on its own site like many other themes, but their rating is maintained by independent websites, which is much more impressive. Click here to take an instant look at the ratings on these sites. Let's set the average rating at about 4.93 out of 5. Those are such great numbers that no other theme or company can match. There are at most a few free themes that have such ratings on Wordpress.org.

Elegant Themes took the fast loading of their themes pretty seriously about a year ago and made remarkable improvements. Both Divi Theme and Extra Theme have benefited greatly from this and scored fast loading times.

They call it the Category Builder themselves. With this tool you can build exactly that homepage or other pages as you had in mind. At the top, of course, features posts and in the columns post from different categories or carousels with posts. All very clear, a great tool.

Extra Theme: Woocommerce Webshop

Some of you will certainly want to sell things through his website in addition to having a blog. The Extra Theme is of course at home in all markets and offers particularly attractive layouts for shops. Of course you have all possible Woocommerce elements and options at your disposal via the DiviBuilder. I'm not going to show all of that here, but rather read my Divi Theme review, the Extra Theme has the same options, such as different shop styles. Incidentally, you also get Divi if you want to purchase the Extra Theme.

Extra Theme review conclusion

Extra left a very good impression on me. The Theme has impressive and many options for blogs and is an absolute must. The fact that the DiviBuilder is already optimized in this theme is of course also great. There is no better page builder to work with and exceeds even Elementor. The Extra Theme is not for sale separately but comes for only 89 dollars minus discounts that are often there together with Divi, the DiviBuilder as a separate plugin + a number of other elite plugins and 86 other themes as a package. I don't think there is a better deal in the web design world, an absolute must for every design agency.

MINIMOG THEME (Minimog vs Extra)

Minimog Theme review


In this Minimog-WP Theme review we take a look at the most important features of this theme. I can't promise it will stay that way, but the theme is currently being sold for a very low price. This theme is perfect for building webshops, especially in combination with their videos on how to set up everything down to the last detail.

Minimog Theme review: Rating

Minimog Theme review rating

The rating of the Minimog theme is unprecedentedly high as there was no one yet who did not give 5 stars. The low price that the theme uses will certainly only serve as an introduction because the theme can compete with other top Woocommerce themes that simply demand the full price.

Minimog Theme review: 60+ Demos

Minimog Theme review demos


Nowadays it is almost absurd to start from scratch with a website or shop. By installing a demo website, you immediately have a design that can then be adapted to your own house style. The Minimog Theme has a 60+ number of these demos. The special thing is that they are all for webshops. This is a fantastic collection of shopping demos.

Minimog Theme review: Speed

Minimog Theme review speedy loading times


The Minimog Theme can certainly be called fast for a Woocommerce Theme. The bare theme without additional plugins with just a well-configured cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself for loading time. Follow this tutorial here.


Minimog Theme review: Pagebuilders

Minimog Theme review Elementor pagebuilder


The Minimog theme uses the Elementor page builder by default, but is compatible with all top pagebuilders out there for Wordpress. I recommend installing Elementor for free, but much better of course the pro version. All demo websites for shops are made with Elementor and you can immediately continue working on them with this page builder.


Minimog-WP professionele shopping features

As befits a real Woocommerce Themes, it overflows with professional shopping features such as Wishlist, Product-360-degrees, Product-Swatch, Quick-View and many more. The number of features is insane and for each of them they give you a video on how to best use them.

Minimog Upsale Features

To make it even more professional, the Minimog Theme comes with a number of Upsale Features. It is of course aimed at generating more sales with your shop and winning more customers. We can now almost call this theme great. In any case, I'm already excited.

Minimog Shopping Lay-outs

Different layouts are available for both the product pages and the category pages. For the product pages alone, there are 10 variants that you can set with 1 click. No matter what style you are looking for, there is sure to be something to suit you.

Minimog Review: Mega-Menu

Because of the many categories it is often useful to use a mega menu for webshops. Mega Menu can display a lot of information, which even contains advertisements and images. Minimog offers some wonderful styles for this.

Minimog Theme Review: Mobile

Nowadays it is very important to have a well-functioning, good-looking and error-free mobile layout for websites and shops. And I must say that the Minimog Theme has also done everything perfectly.

Minimog Header-Styles

You have a direct choice of 7 different ready-made header styles and 30 different footer styles. Below I only show the headers, you can view the footers on your own site of course.

Minimog Theme review: Conclusion

It is clear that a lot is possible with Minimog. The demo layouts are very good and with Minimog one can build great shops and of course it is a pleasure to use the Elementor page builder to work with. The only downside to Minimog is that you need an extra license for every shop you want to build with it. Memberships usually deliver a lot more bang for the buck than just a single theme, like is the case with the Divi Theme. There you pay a little more, but the use of it is for an unlimited number of websites.

Minimog vs Extra conclusion

First of all, thank you for reading this Minimog vs Extra comparison to the end. The first thing that strikes me is the difference in page builders. Extra comes with the Divibuilder and Minimog with the Elementor page builder. Divibuilder can at most be compared with Elementor Pro, and not with the free version. In terms of designs and options for webshops, they are almost equivalent as far as I'm concerned. The themes also load about the same speed.

I strongly prefer the Extra Theme because of the much better page builder and the price/quality ratio. Extra is not just a theme but a membership where Divi Theme, the best theme that comes with it and 86+ other themes and plug-ins. If I also tell you that a separate license is required for Minimog for every site you have and Extra can be used on as many sites as you want, then I think the choice will be very easy.
