In this OceanWP Theme review we discuss the free and premium versions of this beautiful theme. The OceanWP Theme has been installed on 1.000.000+ Wordpress websites and downloaded 2.5 million times. Those are numbers that will stand out. Why is this theme so popular? When looking at OceanWP's rating, it is immediately noticeable that it is also very high. The rating that can be practically rounded to 5/5 as shown in the picture below is of the quality of that of Astra and Generatepress which are also OceanWP's closest competitors.
OceanWP: Strengths
OceanWP Theme review: Speed
The main difference between OceanWP and the 2 aforementioned closest competitors is that OceanWP has put the emphasis more on top design (especially for web shops) and Astra and Generatepress on speed. OceanWP is also built on speed but not as forced as the other 2. The image above shows that OceanWP scores 98%, ie of 100 sites, 2 were faster than OceanWP. It is important to consider for yourself what is more important. A site that loads everything within a second can of course be called top fast and speed is one of the good features of OceanWP which makes it so popular.
OceanWP: Beautiful design
So the design is something that has been given more than enough attention by the OceanWP team and it shows. The theme shows a beautiful design on all devices and the demo websites offered are of very high quality. See photo below.
And for Woocommerce...
OceanWP: Woocommerce extensions
The OceanWP theme has also been perfected on Woocommerce, the most popular webshop system in the world for Wordpress. Not only for customization of its design, but it offers a host of conversion enhancing gadgets. For example the so-called native cart pop-up. After you put an item in your basket, a pop-up will appear to encourage you to pay. This alone would bring about 8% more conversion. There are a number of Woocommerce modules that you can view on their own site.
To be fair, we have to admit in this review for OceanWP that the theme is one of the best for creating webshops. If you want to have a perfectly working shop that looks fantastic, OceanWP is your theme.
OceanWP: Core extensions
The premium version offers access to all core extensions (see photo below). The possibility to build a full screen site with scroll, the practically mandatory cookie notification, a customizable pop-up login, the removal of the OceanWP label in the footer, beautiful portfolios, the aforementioned Woocommerce extensions, a sticky footer , and hooks (more for professional builders).
OceanWP review: Video
In the video below from OceanWP itself, you will quickly be made aware of the benefits of the OceanWP theme. The video only lasts 48 seconds.
OceanWP: Pricing
The regular "to-go" premium price is $ 54 for 3 sites. Especially if you are going to use the theme for a shop, this is a very good price. There are practically no better themes for building web shops.
OceanWP theme review: Conclusion
You have come to the end of our OceanWP theme review. In the first place thanks for reading the complete article. My conclusion is that OceanWP is a fantastic theme that is definitely worth the money. The theme is perfect for web shops, has a great design, is easy to operate and loads very quickly. That's basically all a good theme needs. It just lacks a good page builder to finish it.
OceanWP works perfectly with Elementor, but also with one of the following elite page builders: Divi Builder, BeaverBuilder and Thrive Architect.
KADENCE THEME (Ocean-WP vs Kadence)
In this Kadence Theme review we take a look at the main features of this theme. It has recently made rapid progress to a high ranking on Wordpress.org. This suggests that we are dealing with a very good theme here.
Kadence theme review: Rating
If we check on Wordpress.org Kadence's rating, we see that practically all raters gave 5 stars except for a few haters. The image above also shows that the theme has now been installed on more than 200.002+ websites. This is a very high number for a relatively new theme.
Kadence theme review: Demos
The Kadence theme offers a series of beautiful demos that can be installed with 1 click. The choice is not too large, but since the theme is still very new, this will probably be expanded soon. The theme also has a few special Woocommerce demos, which is always nice.
The nice thing about demos is that you can make a quick start with them. In principle, the website is already showing the wrong photos and texts. So place your logo in it, adjust texts and photos and you are well on your way to having your own site.
Kadence theme review: Webshops
I only count 2 demos for web shops in total. The theme is 100% compatible with Woocommerce but if you are going to build a webshop choose a theme like Astra or another theme from my top 10 for webshop themes. With the Kadence theme you can certainly build a good webshop, but there is simply better than this.
Kadence theme review: Speed
The Kadence theme is one of the fastest themes out there for Wordpress and should actually be in my list for fastest WP themes. The bare theme with no additional plugins using only a well-configured cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself on loading time. Follow this tutorial here.
Kadence theme review: Page builders
The Kadence theme uses the Gutenberg page builder by default, but is compatible with Beaverbuilder and Elementor Pro page builder, one of the best in the field. I also recommend installing Elementor for free, but much better of course the pro version.
Kadence theme review: Colors
Kadence offers 12 professional looking color palettes but you can create any color you want as shown below. Kadence also offers special options for fonts such as the choice of 12 font pairs that are used site-wide.
Kadence theme review: Header Builder
Kadence offers something that has so far only been seen with top themes like Divi, a real HeaderBuilder with which you have practically no limits with regard to the structure of your header. Technical knowledge such as HTML or PHP is not necessary for this.
Kadence: More features
Kadence also offers the following features that I will not go into more detail: Transparent backgrounds, a very good SEO with Schema MarkUp, 100% Responsive on all devices, Sticky Header, CSS Pre-loading, and a good Footer Builder.
Kadence theme review: Conclusion
Thank you for reading my Kadence theme review for [2023] to the end. I think the Kadence theme is a very good theme. The demo layouts are great, the theme set up is quick and easy, and it has an antisocial loading time. The theme is also very suitable for building shops with it, although it only offers 2 demos. There is of course more to say about Kadence, but I want to keep it short and sweet. If you want to know more, take a look at their site from the links below.
The price for the pro version is a bit on the expensive side, which is a shame, but everyone is free to ask what they want for their theme. The pro version certainly offers value for money, although I would rather spend that money on one of the themes in my top 10 for this year's WP themes.
Ocean-WP vs Kadence conclusion
You have come to the end of my Ocean-WP vs Kadence comparison. On loading speed Kadence wins from Ocean-WP, it is one of the fastest loading themes available for Wordpress. Ocean-WP beats Kadence on all other fronts. It is not without reason that Ocean-WP is in second place in my best Woocommerce themes for [2023]. Finally, I would like to mention that Ocean-WP is cheaper and that makes it an easy choice in all. If you are looking for a good theme for your site, especially when it comes to a shop, take Ocean-WP.
