As a freelance web designer, it’s easy to assume that clients care only about how good your designs look—but in reality, their expectations run much deeper.

Premium themes, on the other hand, usually offer better support, security, and scalability. But are they always worth the investment? In this blog, I’ll compare both options based on real-world usage—performance, design flexibility, support quality, and SEO-friendliness—so you can make an informed decision based on your specific needs and goals.
