JNEWS: RATING
If we check on Themeforest.net JNews's rating, we see that practically all raters are 5 stars gave up except for a few haters. The image above also shows that the theme has now been sold on more than 11,365+ times. For a relatively new theme, that is a very high number, which is expected to increase quickly. Many good themes are sold on Themeforest despite the extremely bad reputation of the Themeforest marketplace, the themes are good.
JNEWS: DEMOS
The JNews theme offers a series of beautiful demos that can be installed with 1 click. Since it concerns blog websites, the variety in homepsge is the most important. They state that they offer more than 150+ homepages. There are very nice examples and the number will be further expanded in the course of time.
The nice thing about demos is that you can make a quick start with them. The website is already but with the wrong photos and texts in principle. So place your logo in it, adjust texts and photos and you are well on your way to having your own site.
JNEWS THEME REVIEW: WEBSHOPS
The theme is of course 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. One can certainly build a good webshop with the JNews theme, but there is simply much better than this. There is very little to be found on their own website about the webshop or Woocommerce theme, so it is certainly not the specialty of this theme.
JNEWS: SPEED
The JNews theme is one of the fastest themes out there for Wordpress and should actually be in my list for fast WP themes. The bare theme with no extra plugins with just a optimized cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself for loading time. Follow this advice here.
JNEWS: PAGEBUILDERS
The JNews theme uses the Gutenberg pagebuilder by default, but is compatible with WP Bakery Pagebuilder and Elementor Pro page builder, one of the best out there in the field. I also definitely recommend installing Elementor for free, or even better the pro version.
JNEWS: PREMIUM PLUGINS INCLUDED
JNews offers an insane amount of 3rd party plugins that you can get with it. I know of no other theme where this offer is so high. Impressive in itself, but the value should not be overestimated as they would have you believe. Other themes also come with plugins that work very well and too many plugins often do not benefit a site.
JNEWS: HEADERBUILDER
JNews offers something that has so far only been seen with top themes like Divi, a real HeaderBuilder with which you have practically no limits when it comes to the construction of your header. Technical knowledge such as HTML or PHP is not necessary for this, a child can do the laundry.
JNEWS: MORE BUILDERS
Nice such a HeaderBuilder? JNews offers a whole host of other "Builders" that I won't list all of them here, check them out on their own site if you have time. They are pictured below.
Apart from the Builders Series, the theme is packed with all kinds of great features that one would want in a blog or news website such as: Scrolling Mobile Menu, Podcast System, Subscription System, Sponsored Posts, Subscribe to Download, Multiple Authors Post, Video Preview on Hover, and much more.
JNEWS THEME REVIEW: CONCLUSION
The JNews theme is very well put together. It's an impressive blogger theme, exactly what it was built for. I would also like to see Woocommerce options that are this extensive, then it will become a high-quality multipurpose theme and will sell even better than it already does.
The price is always the problem with themes that are sold via Themeforest because they require a separate license for every website that someone has. JNews certainly offers value for money, although I would rather spend that money on one of the themes in my top 10 for WP themes this year that is even better and can all be used on as many sites as you like. I would definitely buy JNews, but for only 1 website, and for a great blog of course.
BE-THEME (BeTheme vs JNews)
BeTheme comes with more than 600+1 1-click install demos...
In this Be Theme review, we're diving into the good, the bad, and the stylish of this fabulous theme. First thing you'll notice? Its design is like the little black dress of themes – simple yet oh-so-chic. Once you start tinkering with it, you'll find that tweaking this theme is easier than teaching a cat to nap. It's that user-friendly! Stay tuned as we unpack the cornucopia of features this theme has tucked under its elegant sleeve in the rest of this review.
Be Theme review lay-out
The Be Theme is like a digital buffet with an all-you-can-eat offer of 600+ different demo websites, all installable with just one click. It's like having a wardrobe with an outfit for every occasion – you'll find several fitting themes for each niche to kick-start your own digital fashion show. As a web designer, it's like having a secret treasure chest; I can always find the perfect layout for client websites faster than a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat!
A few demo-examples
Let's keep it real: the Be Theme is like the perfect buddy for creating a cool, functional site. But, if you're aiming to craft a website that's the digital equivalent of a Hollywood blockbuster, with all the glitz and glamour, you might want to explore other premium theme stars. For reviews of those red-carpet-ready themes, check out our overview of top themes for [2024]. Think of the Be Theme as the friendly neighborhood hero, perfect for beginners and those looking to make a solid, good-looking website without the complexity of a blockbuster production.
The mastermind behind the BeTheme is Muffingroup, an elite seller on Themeforest, strutting their stuff with around 15 products, mostly themes. Muffingroup has racked up accolades like 'recommended author', 'monthly bestseller', 'power elite author', and 'weekly bestseller'. It's like they're the rock stars of the theme world! With an average rating of 4.62, which is like getting a standing ovation in the theme community, the Be Theme has been the star of the show, with 267,893+ sales since 2014.
Muffin Builder, a drag & drop pagebuilder
The Be Theme comes with its own backstage crew, the Muffin Builder, to quickly zhuzh up your site. This drag & drop page builder is more than just satisfactory – it's like having a magic wand for your website. With all the necessary options and the choice of 600+ layouts, adding items to your pages is as easy and fun as playing with LEGO bricks – but with more impressive results!
Be Theme review: WP Bakery Pagebuilder
If you're not a big fan of the Muffin Builder, don't fret – the Be Theme also rolls out the red carpet for the WP Bakery pagebuilder. This page builder is like the Hollywood celebrity of page builders, famous for its versatility and ease of use. Imagine having the option to choose between a cozy coffee shop (Muffin Builder) and a fancy café (WP Bakery) – both serve great coffee, but the ambiance is just a tad different.
WP Bakery also uses a drag & drop system and is a fantastic tool for creating stunning pages with artistic freedom. To buy it separately would cost you a pretty penny – $64, to be exact. Personally, it's one of my favorite page builders, as it struts its stuff in practically all the top themes and comes with a plethora of add-ons. It's like the Swiss Army knife in the world of page builders!
New: Elementor compatibility
Since [2024], the BeTheme has also been equipped with Elementor, and with quite a few extra widgets as shown below.
Video and Parallax Backgrounds
The BeTheme is like a magician with its parallax backgrounds, creating an enchanting experience for your site's audience. Imagine your website as a stage, where full-width and video backgrounds are the spotlight that adds drama and flair. With a well-styled page, your site can don a tuxedo and look as professional as a James Bond movie. During the writing of this BeTheme review, it's clear that this quality really makes the theme stand out in the crowd.
20+ Different Header Styles
The Be Theme brings more versatility to the table than a chameleon at a color festival. With over 20 standard header styles, it's like having a wardrobe full of hats – there's one for every occasion. The logo and menu aren't just stuck at the top; they're free to roam left or right, giving you the creative freedom of a jazz musician. The customization doesn’t stop there; fonts, sizes, colors - it's all malleable. The Be Theme even lets you mix and match headers and logos on different pages, like a DJ mixing tracks.
Shortcode Generator
Imagine having a magic wand for your website – that's the shortcode generator in the Be Theme. It can conjure up a shortcode for practically every function in the theme. You can sprinkle these magical codes across pages, posts, or widgets, integrating features with the ease of a fairy godmother waving her wand.
BeTheme Extras
The Be Theme is like a Swiss Army knife for your website, packed with features. Picture this: 600+ different fonts (that's more fonts than a typographer’s dream), custom Widgets for every nook and cranny of your site, and the Revolution Slider, which is like the roller coaster of sliders – thrilling and dynamic. WooCommerce Ready?
Check. It's like setting up shop in the busiest digital marketplace. Got content in a different language? No problemo, RTL support has got your back. The Mega Menu is like an all-you-can-eat buffet for your navigation needs, and the visual icon selector is like picking candy from a candy store.
Unlimited sidebars? It's like having infinite shelves for all your goodies. And let’s not forget the cherry on top: Bonus Premium Plug-ins, a maintenance mode that's as sleek as a 'We'll be back soon' sign, Google Maps Styles that dress up your location pins, and BuddyPress Ready for social butterflies. Plus, styles for ContactForm7 and Gravity Forms, making forms feel like a walk in the park. It's like having a digital tool belt with all the fanciest gadgets.
Compatible with WPML
BE-THEME VS JNEWS CONCLUSION
First of all, thank you for reading this BeTheme vs JNews comparison to the end. Both BeTheme and JNews are very good themes. Both themes are packed with functions and settings and beautiful demos. Both themes are also very suitable for building blogs and load quickly in a browser. So they are very similar, but there are some differences. For example, I would certainly not use JNews for the construction of webshops at the moment, because the theme lacks options. Be-Theme is okay for building shops but there are better themes for.
If you want more value for your 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, the best selling and valued theme in the world or possibly Astra if you want to work with a lightning fast theme.
