1. Astra – The Speed Demon
Let’s start with the crowd favorite: Astra. It’s lightweight, insanely fast, and works beautifully with drag-and-drop page builders like Elementor and Beaver Builder.
Why agencies love it:
Super fast (your site can load in under 0.5 seconds)
Tons of ready-to-use templates for marketing, portfolio, and business sites
Easily customizable—even if you don’t know how to code
WooCommerce-ready if you plan to sell services, merch, or digital products
Astra is like the Swiss Army knife of WordPress themes. It does everything, and it does it really well.
2 . Divi – The Designer’s Playground
If Astra is the Swiss Army knife, Divi is the Photoshop of WordPress themes. Built by Elegant Themes, it’s all about visuals, control, and creativity.
Why it stands out:
Live front-end editor (what you see is exactly what you get)
Over 2,000 layout packs for different industries, including digital marketing
Built-in A/B testing—yes, really!
Global styles so you can easily make site-wide design changes
Divi is perfect for agencies that want their website to pop. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you’re in the groove, it’s seriously powerful.
3. OceanWP – The Developer’s Dream
Looking for a theme that’s a bit more technical? OceanWP is for you. It’s clean, flexible, and packed with features right out of the box.
Top reasons to choose OceanWP:

It’s not the flashiest theme on this list, but it’s incredibly stable and customizable—perfect for building unique client experiences.
4. Neve – Sleek and Simple
Not every agency needs a flashy website. If you prefer a clean, modern look that’s easy to manage, Neve is your go-to.
Why Neve might be your new favorite:

Neve is great for lean agencies or startups who want to get online fast without sacrificing style or functionality.
5. Kadence – The New Kid with Big Potential

Here’s why it’s turning heads:
