When you’re building a site that truly reflects your brand and works just as hard as you do, it starts with the right tools. At Bloom, we believe good design isn’t just about looks. It’s about function, flexibility, and future-proofing. That’s why choosing the right WordPress theme is a critical step in creating something that can grow with your business.
Whether you’re running a startup, a consultancy, or a creative agency, we’ve rounded up the top WordPress themes that can support you in 2025 and beyond. These themes aren’t just pretty templates. They’re thoughtfully designed foundations. We’ve tested them, explored the code, and looked at what makes them work so you don’t have to.
Let’s explore some standout options together.
We obsess over the details so you don’t have to.
Kadence continues to set the standard for flexibility and performance. It’s fast, accessible, and works beautifully with block editors like Gutenberg. It’s especially great if you’re working with a designer or developer. You can fine-tune layouts, typography, and color schemes without any heavy lifting.
We appreciate that it doesn’t lock you in. It’s built to adapt, so your site can evolve as your business grows.
Best for: Agencies, consultancies, and teams that want design control without a bloated builder.
Let’s be honest. Fast sites win. Astra’s focus on performance means you can worry less about loading times and more about your message. It also plays nicely with nearly every page builder including Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Gutenberg.
This is one of those themes that just gets out of your way so you can focus on your work.
Best for: Service-based businesses and entrepreneurs scaling quickly.
If you’re excited about using the WordPress block editor but still want something that feels custom, Blocksy might be the right choice. It’s modern, lightweight, and deeply integrated with dynamic content tools.
We’ve used Blocksy in several client projects where we needed both speed and style, and it delivered on both.
Best for: Creative businesses, photographers, and educators who want clean design and custom layouts.
Sometimes, you want a blank slate. Hello is exactly that. It’s a stripped-down WordPress theme built by the Elementor team. It’s perfect if your team is building everything from scratch in Elementor and doesn’t need extra theme features.
That said, it isn’t for everyone. If you’re not fully committed to Elementor, this theme might not be the right fit.
Best for: Full custom Elementor builds where total control is needed.
Here’s how we got to this decision: We don’t always recommend this theme unless the project is fully Elementor-based. Otherwise, it can feel limiting. We’re transparent about that from the start.
Neve has a reputation for being beginner-friendly, but don’t underestimate it. It’s also a solid performer. With a mobile-first design, fast load speeds, and WooCommerce compatibility, it’s ideal for businesses that need a quick yet professional launch.
We often recommend Neve for early-stage clients who want polish without the stress.
Best for: Startups, nonprofits, and solopreneurs looking for fast setup and simple customization.
We know that sorting through WordPress themes can feel like a lot. And while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, there is a right fit for your team and your goals.
Here’s how we approach it:
These decisions work best when they’re collaborative. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own and we’re not here to push a solution that doesn’t serve your needs.
We’d love to connect. Sometimes, the hardest part is just knowing where to start. We’re happy to walk you through the options, help weigh trade-offs, or simply listen to what’s working and what isn’t. Ready for help finding your perfect theme?
