Wow – so sad to see all those Themes which have not much to do with what churches actually need.
No theme has a sermon manager, none something to manage the worship team and the designs – wow pretty expensive I would say, not even one free church theme not even from ET themselves. I hope this will change and in the next 3-4 weeks we will see some ET Church themes which can be integrated and part of the template chooser.
Please I need a suitable theme for a fashion website.
Can you recommend any please?
Thank you for the information on the church themes. As a graphic and web designer who is using Divi almost exclusively for the sites I design, I appreciate the fact that these themes, as well as the Elegant Themes church layout, is available to designers. That being said, the vast majority of designers are not familiar with the special needs of a church or ministry when it comes to designing a website. As a church leader and a designer, I will tell you that best practices for a church website focus on NEW visitors to the site. The emphasis is best placed on making it very easy for them to see What You Believe, How to Visit, What to Expect, and clear Directions. Be sure a NEW HERE page is your first Menu item, and keep the other pages to a minimum such as About Us, Ministries, Sermons, Events, Giving, etc.
Designers, when you are using any of these themes, think about this advice as you layout your sections. Sermons belong on a Sermons page, not the home page. About the Pastor or Leaders belongs on the About page and all the wonderful things a church does for themselves and their community belongs on a Ministries page.

If this is the state of Divi church themes, then that’s so sad.
It is a paradox that none of these religious themes are is free.
