The Pros of Pre-Built Drupal Themes

Drupal is stunning.

One of the things that makes Drupal so great is the large community that has sprung up around it. The Drupal community is the world's largest tech community, with millions of members contributing tens of thousands of Drupal themes and modules to improve the platform's functionality and capacity to provide exceptional web services.

However, we understand that limited budgets and strict deadlines arise and that a truly original theme is not always possible.

There are several high-quality, pre-built Drupal themes that give stunning design and superb functionality at a fraction of the expense of generating something from scratch in certain circumstances.

Advantages of using a pre-built drupal theme
The pricing and quality of pre-built themes can vary greatly. They vary from simple, free Drupal themes to reliable premium Drupal themes with complete support. It’s not possible to outline the pros of every theme out there, but here are some advantages you would generally see when you choose a pre-built theme:

Faster and cheaper 
People choose pre-built themes because they are typically far faster, easier, and less expensive to produce. Consider a website to be a house: with custom development, you start with a strong foundation (Drupal), but you still have to create the majority of the structure.

No coding knowledge
Another reason people use these Drupal themes is that they usually do not require the assistance of a professional to get up and running. Many themes come with pre-built designs that you can simply activate to create a website.


Frequent updates
Many themes send out periodic updates, giving you more and better features on your site. These updates also ensure that the theme is compatible with the most recent version of Drupal, which aids in the security of your website. However, there's always the possibility that a theme's developer will stop maintaining and updating it, which brings us to. 

Multiple theme options
Most themes give you a variety of options to customize colors, fonts, layouts, social icons, and other variables. This gives any website a lot of flexibility and customization.

Mobile-friendly
According to Statista, the number of smartphone users has already surpassed three billion. It is also expected to grow in the next few years.

As a result, mobile phones account for more than 53% of the organic searches in the United States alone.

Consider the case when you do not have a mobile-friendly website. You may lose a number of high-paying clients, which you do not want to happen.

You may be confident that a pre-built Drupal theme is mobile-responsive. When your target audience looks for a service provider, your website will rank well in search engines and look appealing regardless of the device they are using.


Shorter development time
Using a premade template should save us a significant amount of time because we will be skipping two time-consuming project phases: design and front-end coding (slicing the design and converting it to HTML+CSS+JS templates). We've decided how the final product will look and function if we know exactly what we can achieve with the chosen theme. We simply need to install it by utilizing specified elements and functionalities. Before going live, we recommend extensively testing the website to ensure that everything functions properly.

Final thoughts
Websites like DrupalThemes.io will make you feel like a kid in a candy store, with 10+ pre-built Drupal themes competing for your attention. You can further refine your search by including your industry in the search criteria, as many pre-built Drupal themes are classified by the industries they can serve.

A pre-built Drupal theme designed specifically for your sector will usually have the modules you require. If you are a non-profit, for example, your pre-built theme will most likely include a donate module right out of the box.
