Investigating themes to use with the WordPress no-code page builder plugin Brizy

Lately, I've been hooked on Brizy, a no-code page builder plugin for WordPress.

The number of people who want to earn money from web development at home is increasing, and many of them think they have to learn HTML syntax from scratch, but if you use a page builder plugin, you can build a WordPress site without coding, so I think you can actually start earning money with just a short period of learning!

What WordPress theme should I use?

The page builder plugin I'm introducing this time is Brizy.PluginSo you need a theme.

I do use themes, but I don't use the default design of the theme at all and build the design from scratch in Brizy, so the default Twenty Twenty-One would be fine, but I think it's easier to use if there are more widget parts, so I tried out a variety of them.

The first theme I tried was the free theme Cocoon.

Cocoon has a large number of widgets and many design parts for writing blogs, so I started building using cocoon.

As a bonusCompletely free theme!This was also the deciding factor.

However, perhaps due to the cocoon cache, CSS often becomes unresponsive after Brizy updates. This can be fixed by updating the site.Find an easy-to-use theme among the themes recommended by BrizyI decided to do it!

8 themes recommended by Brizy

A theme that works well with the page builder plugin Brizy

• Blocksy
• Neve - AMP compatible
• Translate press - perfect for multilingual sites
• ASTRA- Popular themes
• Page Builder Framework
• Ocean WP
• Zita - Demo site made with Brizy
• SUKI

Eight popular overseas WordPress themes are introduced. I would like to actually use all of the themes and verify their ease of use.

It is a verification point
In Brizy, it is possible to display parts that have been inserted as widgets or display menu lists registered in the menu, so I investigated the types of widgets and menus.
I think the fact that it is available in Japanese is also a factor to consider when choosing.

Heading font

This has the widest variety. All font sizes and colors are available.

I actually created a website using OceanWP x Brizy and it was great!
One thing to note is that the sticky header feature, which fixes the header to the top when you scroll, is a paid feature, and since I think there are many people who would like to implement it, you should consider whether to purchase it.

Themes with Japanese admin interface

• Neve
• Astra
• Ocean WP

The theme that came with the starter site

• Blocky
• Astra
• Ocean WP
• Zita
• SUKI

Font customization NO.1

Ocean WP had the most heading customization settings.

No.1 in number of widgets

Zita had the most widgets.

I wondered if a theme with a Japanese admin panel would be easier to use.
I was a bit worried, but I decided to try using Brizy based on Ocean WP for a while!

Like in the Japanese blog theme

• table of contents
• Border

These features are not included in the foreign themes introduced here, so you will need to set them up using a separate plugin.
