The7 and Woodmart are both sold through the same marketplace and are therefore direct competitors. That is certainly the case since both themes can be used for the construction of very nicely looking webshops. The7 vs Woodmart, which is the better theme? We start with The7 which does not mean it would be better.
The7 Theme
The7 Theme Ratings
This The-7 Theme Review will discuss all the positive and negative aspects of The 7. The7 was published in September 2013 by DreamTheme. This theme has been sold 269,297+ times up to today and has a rating 4.76 out 5 (8500 ratings on Themeforest). There are only very few themes that have a higher average rating.
The7 Theme Load Speed
The craze for fast themes started a few years ago when it was understood that fast-loading websites are more successful because visitors have very little patience. The fastest themes such as Astra are still the fastest, but in the meantime each theme has been provided with an update to make it load quickly, and so is The7.
The7 Theme Review: PageBuilder
The7 works perfectly with, in my opinion the best page builder for WordPress, Elementor. Without having to purchase the pro version, The7 provides you with a large number of pro functions such as the ThemeBuilder and a large number of additional elements.
Of course, the theme is 100% compatible with the Gutenberg editor and all its blocks. In addition, there are many demo websites built with Gutenberg.
But there is even a 3rd page builder in The7, the WP-Bakery page builder. As a bonus, this includes an extra plugin for WP-Bakery to significantly expand the number of widgets. And there are also many demo websites built with WP-Bakery. On the image above you can see all the extra plugins you get for free in The7 theme.
Build shops with The7
Even more amazing is that you have access to a real Woocommerce Builder. This allows you to style the pages of your webshop exactly as you had it in mind. In the past one had to be very good with HTML and that was a lot of work, but not anymore. The image above roughly shows how it works.
The7 Theme Demos
The number of 40+ demos is not spectacular, but these are well-built full site demos. We can say that other themes offer more demos, but in most cases much worse demos. The7 thus more than meets the requirements that we set in this review for demos or starter sites that can be installed with 1 click.
The7 Theme Review: Settings
One of the most impressive features of the The7 theme is the large number of settings that exceed your wildest wishes. Everything has been thought of and can be adjusted without technical knowledge. In the image below you can see the numbers that they specify themselves.
The7 Theme Review Conclusion
The7 is of course a fantastic theme and it is not for nothing that the second best-selling theme on Themeforest. I can recommend it 100% for both websites and shops. It does not have a free version, you will have to buy the pro version. As long as you are looking for a theme for only 1 websites, everything is okay, but if you have to provide multiple websites with a theme, so I prefer to buy Astra or Divi, these themes may be slightly better and can be used on unlimited websites.
Let’s continue this Woodmart vs The7 comparison with the Woodmart Theme.
The Woodmart Theme
In this Woodmart Theme Review, the pros and cons of this theme quickly become clear. We discuss all important features in a nutshell so that you quickly have a good idea whether Woodmart is suitable for you without having to read a boring article with endless texts.
Woodmart Theme's Rating
Let’s start with the rating of the Theme. Other people have been using it for years and the rating indicates how satisfied they were with this product. Woodmart gets a 4.94 out of 5 rating on the marketplace where it is sold which I think is the highest rating I’ve ever seen there.
Woodmart Theme Review Demos
Woodmart features beautiful demo layouts. These can be imported into your website within a minute. The number of 70+ complete website demos is above average. The vast majority of these demos are for shops. Of course, Fashion, Electronics and Furniture are also shopping demos.
Woodmart Theme & Woocommerce
As indicated earlier, Woodmart is a real Woocommerce, which means that not only are the demos for shops beautifully styled, but you can easily adjust the layout of the products. In the view below you can see that this is done by means of the Elementor page builder.
The result are beautiful shop pages.
Page Builders
Woodmart Theme Load Speed
Both the CSS and Javascript have been greatly improved since the last version. The theme produces pretty fast loading times, which is more than average. The image shows the results indicated by them themselves. If you do a test yourself, make sure you have installed a good Cache Plugin otherwise you will get distorted results.
Woodmart Theme Header Builder
More and more themes are coming with a real header builder that gives you total control over the header and this is certainly a great asset to a theme. In the meantime, this should not be missing in a theme, and with Woodmart you are in the right place.
Don’t feel like fiddling with the header yourself? Then simply choose one of the many ready-made headers that Woodmart offers you.
Woodmart Review Search
There used to be a plugin for that, now you can just search by product code or SKU code.
Woodmart Theme Review Conclusion
The Woodmart Theme has many more features to offer such as Ajax Cart, Mega Menu, Quick Shopping, Sliders, Social Login, Multi-language, White Label and more. If your interest has been piqued, read on on their own site via the button above. As the rating suggested at the beginning, this is a great theme and I personally couldn’t find anything bad about it. What I do want to note is that the theme requires a separate license for every website you have. This quickly becomes expensive if you have multiple websites. A Theme like Divi would then be a better alternative.
The7 vs Woodmart Conclusion
Woodmart and The7 are all great themes. The7 has better sales, but Woodmart has a better rating. Both are specialized in building web shops and corporate sites. I like Woodmart’s demo designs a bit better. So my choice falls on Woodmart, but only if we are building just one site or shop, otherwise I prefer to work with Astra or Divi as these are not only better themes but at once for unlimites websites.
