30+ Best Multipurpose WordPress Themes 2022 – aThemes

Multipurpose themes are part of a theme niche that some WordPress users tend to stay away from. Why? It’s probably because of the popular saying “jack of all trades, master of none”. Many people mistakenly assume that just because a theme tries to do everything, it ends up unable to do any particular thing well.

This is a baseless assumption that, in short, is just plain wrong. I’m not denying the fact that there are plenty of poorly coded multipurpose themes out there that don’t do the job right, because there most certainly are. However, I am also aware of the fact that there are a good deal of great multipurpose themes available that fit excellently for almost any type of website.

So in the infrequent instances where specialized themes won’t suit your particular website, then a multipurpose theme is always the way to go. In this collection, we’ve sorted through the good, the bad, and the ugly in this niche of premium WordPress offerings to leave you with only the best.

If you’re looking for a high quality yet fully customizable multipurpose theme, you can’t go wrong with Sydney.

Sydney can be used by everyone from freelancers to large corporations. It includes an expansive library of templates, including options for specific niches such as podcasting, weddings, gardening, and finance. It also comes with integration for WooCommerce, Elementor, and Contact Form 7 plugins.

One of the things that make this stunning theme so great is how easy it is to use and customize for users of all experience levels. Thanks to its Live Customizer and fast, accessible support, you can have a well-designed site up and running in no time.

If you’re looking for an aesthetically pleasing, highly functional, and flexible multipurpose theme, Sydney is a strong choice. It’s unique enough to help your business stand out, yet simple enough to use across various industries.

Divi (our review) is currently one of the hottest themes on the market, and for good reason. Very few themes can match the versatility of this Elegant Themes release: it’s one of the top multipurpose themes you can get today. The theme gives you a whole lot of bang for buck, as it incorporates both a ton of functionality and a beautiful widescreen design.

Divi is famous for its custom page builder, which uses modules and content blocks to easily create pages. A few of these modules have some pretty unique functions, like email signup forms, contact forms, testimonials, blurbs, and even an online shop. The builder also comes with over 20 pre-made page layouts, so the theme is very easy to setup out of the box. You can also export/import custom layouts.

The theme has been optimized for everything, from speed to search engines to security (it was awarded a security seal and reviewed in depth by Sucuri). It’s been translated into 32 languages and includes support for right-to-left language scripts. If you’re looking for a theme with tons of functionality in one package, Divi should definitely be around the top of your shortlist.

No matter what niche you’re in, you’re likely to find a stunning layout that can help you stand out from your competitors and build a beautiful website in no time.

When it comes to multipurpose themes, Hub is a popular, feature-rich option. It’s worth checking out regardless of the type of business or website you’re running.

This unique all-in-one builder offers a beautiful design, over 60 pre-built websites, more than 600 section templates, and 100+ inner pages. The large variety of layouts and styles that are included with this theme is rare, making it a standout option for customizability.

The award-winning design collection lets you mix and match various demos and templates, enabling you to quickly create your dream site for any industry with ease. It also includes a number of premium plugins, including WP Bakery Builder, Elementor, Slider Revolution, Convert Plus, and more.

Another aspect that sets this theme apart is its fast performance. Hub is lightweight, and it achieves near-perfect scores on page speed testing tools such as Pingdom and GTmetrix.

Multipurpose themes pride themselves on covering a wide array of website types. However, although many promise to include everything you’ll need out of the box to create your website, they often fall flat. Fortunately, Total has clearly been designed to buck that trend.

There are over 40 demo templates available within this theme, covering a multitude of niches. Whether you’re a lawyer or a dentist, a freelancer or a graphic designer, or even a gamer, there’s a pre-designed layout to get you up and running quickly. Of course, Total wouldn’t be worthy of the name unless it offered a way to customize your layouts further. With that in mind, the theme comes bundled with the popular WPBakery plugin, enabling you to create custom layouts based around your own design requirements.

There’s plenty more on offer – the bundled Slider Revolution plugin, WooCommerce support for opening an online store, and a variety of portfolio and blog layouts to choose from. What’s more, there are a wealth of customization options to be found within the Advanced Theme Customizer – an extended and enhanced version of the standard Live Customizer.

There aren’t many multipurpose themes available that promise the earth and ultimately deliver. While it’s a stretch to suggest any theme can provide everything you’ll need, Total takes things further than most. It’s a stellar example of a multipurpose theme, and is well worth your consideration.

Often, the mark of a good multipurpose theme is its ability to appeal to a wide range of users, without treading too far into a specific niche. By also offering solid functionality, a theme can leapfrog its rivals, and H-Code is a fine example of exactly that.

This theme is focused on providing a modern, clean layout, with a good use of white space surrounding the different elements. The default font size is easy to read (albeit fashionably small), and with the bundled WPBakery plugin, you can create almost any layout imaginable – including landing pages.

The About and Team pages are impressive, with an animated popup for each member displaying contextual information upon rollover. Likewise, the portfolio page layout employs stylish rollover animations too. However, there was a little lag when scrolling through the pages themselves, so it’s worth bearing in mind if smooth navigation is important.

All in all, there is a lot to like about H-Code, and it’s very worthy of your attention for pressing into service on your website.
