This theme is on of my favorites so far. It came with a really intuitive pre-upload instructions that let you set the site colors, logo, headline, and even a mini logo icon for the google tab. Probably the best looking theme out of the game too. Additionally it has the same color customization and picture compatibility as the Oceans theme. On top of that it has a completely editable footer and header, as well as sidebar widgets. Definitely the best theme thus far.

I give Hestia a 5 star rating because of how simple it is to use and how good it looks from its first employment.

Twenty Seventeen Theme Review

This theme is called Twenty Seventeen and was made by WordPress.

It is available on WordPress with a a 4.5 star rating and has  500,000+ active installations.

Listed here are the tags: one-column, two-columns, right-sidebar, flexible-header, accessibility-ready, custom-colors, custom-header, custom-menu, custom-logo, editor-style, featured-images, footer-widgets, post-formats, rtl-language-support, sticky-post, theme-options, threaded-comments, translation-ready, block-patterns.

This theme was very accessible. It had a fully customizable footer and header. It did have access to additional CSS which was good to see. I had access to the full range of colors as well. However while it was good to go from the start for the most part, it was very limited in what I could do to change the home page. Additionally posts were showed in full as opposed to showing just the title of the post and offering a link to the full post. It is advertised as a

I give this theme a 4 star rating

PopularFX Review

This theme is PopularFX by developer Pagelayer, Free. It It is available on WordPress with a 4.5 star rating on WordPress and has 100,000+ installations.

Listed below is a list of tags (features) advertised by the introduction screen of the theme.

Tags: custom-background, custom-logo, custom-menu, featured-images, threaded-comments, translation-ready, entertainment, full-width-template, one-column, two-columns, left-sidebar, e-commerce, right-sidebar, microformats, post-formats, theme-options, blog, rtl-language-support.

It is an extensive list which made it very exciting to try out. And it is pretty good, however, it not going to be as good as the first one obviously. This one had very good color and font controls in the customization window of the theme. However, it lacks the customization and use of widgets seen by Ocean WP. It offers almost no customization for the footer, including the copywrite tag. Additionally it does not support videos in the header. However, its standard view is a lot more friendly that Ocean WP. Additionally the default post page is formatted a lot better. This once is more ready to be used out of the gate. 

I give PopularFX theme a 4 star review because while it lacks certain customization, it still offers a lot while being pretty nice out of the gate.
