OceanWP is specialized in webshops and speed...

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.
ULTRA THEME (Ocean-WP vs Ultra)
In this Ultra Theme from the builder Themify we take a look at the main features and upgrades of this theme. It has been making rapid strides lately and this suggests that we are dealing with a very good theme here. Themify started a promotion in 2016 that is still valid today. When submitting the invoice, you can switch from another theme to Ultra or another Themify theme for 50% of the price. You can find the complete information for this topic here.
ULTRA THEME REVIEW: 60+ DEMO'S
The Ultra themes has a collection of 60+ niche demo layouts. The Themify Builder offers an high amount of demo layouts, no less than 40+ Demos and is integrated in every Themify theme, so also in Ultra! Of course 40 demos are more than enough, but if you want 140+ more the Builder Pro is a good option. By the way, the Builder Pro is automatically included in the Master and Lifetime version for an additional cost of $ 30, so don't buy it separately. You then immediately have access to all their 48+ themes instead of just Ultra. A great offer!
ULTRA THEME REVIEW: WEBSHOPS
The Ultra theme offers a Woocommerce add-on and various shopping layouts but if you are going to build a shop then Themify's Shoppe Theme might be a better choice. It offers practically the same features but is more oriented towards E-commerce sites than Ultra. For the $30 surcharge, I would in any case opt for the Master package with 48+ which of course includes Ultra and Shoppe.
Shopping features in Ultra
Ultra has even more shopping features, but you can find more information about this on their own site. Follow the link in the button at the end of this article.
ULTRA THEME REVIEW: SPEED
The Ultra theme has very fast loading times and good SEO. In the speedtest result above, we used a good cache plugin and a fast server. The faster websites load, the better visitors stay engaged. This lowers your bounce rates and ensures that you are found better in Google (Google Rankbrain).
ULTRA'S PAGEBUILDER
The Ultra theme works with the page builder already briefly discussed above called Builder-Pro. Builder-Pro is free in every theme of Themify but the Builder-Pro can be ordered separately as a separate plugin to use it in competitor themes.
ULTRA'S BUILDER ADD-ONS
The Themify Builder comes standard with 12 additional add-ons that will make styling your pages easier. If you choose the Master option instead of a separate theme, you will lose $89 instead of $59, but you will not only have 25 Builder Addons but also immediately access to all 48+ themes from Themify, and the Builder Pro and more. many more extras. This is a perfect deal because all their themes are very good.
ULTRA THEME REVIEW: MEGAMENU
Mega menus give websites a good look and are fashionable. Ultra offers a variable mega menu where you can choose the number of columns and optionally use texts or images. This can be seen in the video below.
ULTRA'S IMAGE FILTERS
Ultra theme is equipped with a number of Image Filters so that it is not necessary to apply these kinds of things directly to images in a program like Photoshop. This saves a lot of time and if you want to apply a different filter later it is very easy as the original photo is not affected.
ULTRA'S SECTION SCROLLING
Above and below you can see Ultra's vertical and horizontal Section Scrolling at work. I believe I have never seen this feature in themes before. No idea what it's for, scrolling down seems just as good to me, but it sure looks nice.
ULTRA'S HEADER OPTIONS
Ultra offers a large number of standard header layouts. You can choose 1, 2, or 3 menus and their location. Also logo in the middle, left or right can be chosen. In addition, 6 header background options for the header: image, video, transparent, slider, animated color, and fixed color.
Ultra theme review: Conclusion
The Themify themes are very good to say the least. I would never pay $59 for a single theme but definitely go for the membership for $89 with all themes and extras as shown in the image below.
Themify Master is a complete collection of everything one will ever need to build beautiful websites super fast. Every web design agency should have this package in their arsenal. The same goes for Divi and Astra... Listen Ultra has a lot more than I have told you here. I have explained the most important features, if you want to know more, read more on the Themify site.
Ocean-WP vs Ultra conclusion
You have come to the end of my Ocean-WP vs Ultra comparison. I have Ocean-WP in my list for best Woocommerce themes for [2023]. Not for nothing, because Ocean-WP is perfect for creating webshops and is also very fast. So it will be difficult for most themes to compete with this, but perhaps not for Ultra. Ultra comes with 48 other high-quality niche themes + plugins and more for a small additional cost. As a single theme I prefer Ocean-WP, especially for shops, but Themify as a package offers much more value for money of course. The choice is yours. Web design agencies should have both systems in their arsenal, of course.
