Read the Review of WP-Prosperity
The earlier design of this blog was a custom design for which I paid a good amount of money, and I had to email the designer to get something changed, or it required a lot of coding to do a simple thing like changing the header color or font.
Now that I am using WP-Prosperity, all has been done right from the Theme Options area, in fact I customized my theme into the current design in just 70 Minutes. Not only that, I was able to get different design on different website, using the same WordPres theme, WP-Prosperity.
So, when you are looking to buy a WordPress theme, make sure it has got the easy theme options to get the kind of design you are looking for.
Customizing with Simple Drag n Drop
If you are going to setup up different types of pages with different layouts, customizing them via Theme Options can be very time consuming as you have to keep refreshing the page to see the changes made. Front end editors help you get rid of all the to and fro changes and enable you to customize directly from the page itself.
There are different panels on the page where you can add the desired elements, but very few WordPress themes offer that kind of functionality. But you can get amazingly nice looking pages designed within few minutes.
I have created a collection of WordPress themes that can be customized by simple drag n drop of elements. You may take a look and decide which one is for you.
