Start with the website requirements
Define whether you need a blog, store, directory or company website, and list the essential functions. Distinguish theme features from plugin features; a store demo does not establish which ecommerce plugins or licences are included.
Test the demo and mobile layout
Test reading, navigation, forms and search on small screens and modern browsers. Review imagery, buttons, contrast and navigation rather than relying only on the visual impression.
Calculate the cost of ownership
Consider the theme price, support renewals, paid plugins, customisation and hosting. Obtain licensed files and check the update history. Test performance; an SEO Ready label does not guarantee rankings.
