INSPIRO THEME (Hestia vs Inspiro)

In this Inspiro Theme review we take a look at the most important features of this theme . It has recently made a rapid rise to a high listing on Wordpress.org. This suggests that we are dealing with a very good theme here.

Inspiro Theme review: Rating

Inspiro Theme review rating


If we check Inspiro's rating on Wordpress.org, we see that practically all raters gave 5 stars except for a few haters. The theme has now been installed on more than 10.000 websites. That is a pretty high number for a relatively new theme.

Inspiro Theme review: Demo's

Inspiro Theme review demos


The Inspiro theme offers 10 beautiful demo layouts. We are talking about the pro version here, the free version only has 1 I believe. The free version is often downloaded because despite the lack of many demos, this theme is extremely suitable for people who want to work with a Youtube or Vimeo background or slider. That is the specialty of this theme.


Inspiro Theme review: Webshops

Inspiro doesn't excel at building webshops but the pro version doesn't come alone, you can choose from 36 different themes that are included in the WP-Zoom membership, many of which are better equipped for webshops than Inspiro. The theme is 100% compatible with Woocommerce, but if you are going to build a webshop then choose a theme like Astra or another theme from my top 10 for webshop themes.

Inspiro Theme review: Speed

Inspiro Theme review loading times


The Inspiro theme is a minimalist theme and can therefore be called fast. The bare theme with no extra 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.


Inspiro Theme review: Pagebuilders

Inspiro Theme review Elementor pagebuilder


The Inspiro theme uses its own page builder by default, but is compatible with the Elementor page builder, Beaverbuilder, and practically all top page builders out there for Wordpress. I recommend installing Elementor for free, but much better of course the pro version.


Inspiro Theme review: Style Kits

Inspiro offers 6 different very extensive Style Kits. In the image below you can see how easy this works, choose a style and you're done. Smaller adjustments can be made to the style later.

Video Autoplay op Mobiel & Tablet

In its own words, Inspiro is unique in the fact that both self-hosted, Youtube and Vimeo videos play automatically on all devices. So also on tablet and mobile.

Inspiro Theme review: Conclusion

It is clear that a lot is possible with Inspiro. In terms of video backgrounds and video slider, this theme is at the highest level and is therefore often downloaded as a free version via Wordpress.org. The autoplay function on mobile devices is of course also great.

As soon as we talk about the pro version, we are suddenly talking about 36 different niche themes that are included in the membership. Although each theme can be purchased separately, this is so stupid because the price difference is very small. In the pack are themes for every task and niche you can imagine. WP-Zoom has put together a very complete selection here. Memberships usually deliver a lot more bang for the buck than just a theme, just like Divi is the case.

HESTIA THEME (Hestia vs Inspiro)

Hestia Theme review


HESTIA THEME REVIEW

In this Hestia Theme review for [2024] I discuss all the great features it has. This theme was built by ThemeIsle which is one of the best theme and plugin builders for Wordpress. Other very popular themes from them are for example Zelle and Neve.

HESTIA RATINGS

Below you can see the rating and active installation where I have placed arrows.

HESTIA AND ELEMENTOR

This appreciation applies to the free version of Hestia, which is of course much less extensive. I will of course discuss everything Hestia has to offer here, the pro version. The theme works perfectly with Woocommerce, WPML and the Elementor page builder. The additional installation of Elementor is definitely recommended, there is no better page builder. Get the pro version right away if you don't have problems spending some money.

HESTIA AND WOOCOMMERCE

For a top theme it is important to have a great presentation when it comes to web shops. Without it you will not achieve any rankings. Hestia just like the other themes from ThemeIsle have this. Below I show you how well everything is arranged in the shop pages.

HESTIA REVIEW: STARTER SITES

Just like any good theme, Hestia has a library of starter sites. So you do not have to start working on your site from scratch, but there is immediately a design that you will adapt to your corporate identity. As can be seen in the picture below, designs for all types of niches have been built with Elementor. To be honest, I have to say that the number is low compared to other themes.

HESTIA SPEEDTEST

Let's see how the theme performs in a test for download speed. We already know that all themes from ThemeIsle are built on speed. The results shown below were achieved with a good cache and compression plug-in installed of course.

PRICING

Hestia theme review pricing


I think the prices are a bit expensive compared to other themes. Also the fact that no starter sites are included in the free version or for 1 website.

HESTIA THEME REVIEW: CONCLUSION

I have to say that I think it is a good theme but too expensive. A much better alternative from the same builder is the Neve theme which I even rank high in my list fo best Wordpress themes for [2024]. There are more than a hundred starter sites even in the free version. I advise you to read that article of mine if you are looking for the best themes for a good price.

HESTIA VS INSPIRO CONCLUSION

First of all, thank you for reading this Hestia vs Inspiro comparison to the end. There are no major differences between Hestia and Inspiro, they are both very good themes. But even though both Inspiro and Hestia are worth their money, I have to advise against them both because there are much better themes available for the same money. My tip is buy Divi, the best sold and valued theme in the world or possibly Astra if you want to work with a lightning fast theme.
