Themify Ultra is a multipurpose WordPress theme with a built-in drag-and-drop builder, designed for users who want full control over their website layout without relying on third-party page builders. Instead of installing multiple plugins to handle design, layout, and customization, Themify Ultra provides everything natively.

This approach makes Themify Ultra a popular choice for freelancers, agencies, and business owners who want advanced customization without added complexity. In this article, we’ll explore why the theme continues to attract attention and what makes it stand out in the WordPress ecosystem.

What Is Themify Ultra

Themify Ultra is by far the most powerful and flexible WordPress theme. Its unique mix of conventional WP Themes and a drag-and-drop builder lets users create mesmerizing websites, with the convenience of a familiar customization panel and the ability to change almost any detail.

Themify has celebrity status among WordPress designers, as it’s behind some of the most successful themes in the CMS’s history. They are a one-stop shop for anything WordPress – themes, plugins, and now a builder. With 123,500 customers worldwide, there is little doubt that their theme is well-regarded. Moreover, they’ve been around for 14 years now, giving them enough time to perfect their art. And perfect they did… mostly. Let’s talk about the only downside, and it’s in the very beginning.

How To Start

Starting with Themify Ultra is a bit complicated. That’s actually the only downside, hands down. It’s neither intuitive nor newbie-friendly. Well, since WP professional designers often prefer Themify, that’s hardly a huge problem, but there’s still a learning curve to starting. Luckily, the guys at Themify created a thorough tutorial video on how to get started.

First and foremost, you must enter the Members Area through the Themify Ultra menu on the Themify Ultra webpage.

There, you will see a giant blue “Download Updater” Button.

Before you go to your WordPress, scroll down to the Themes section and download the Ultra Theme as well. You will need it in a bit.

Once you’ve downloaded the two zip files, go to your WordPress dashboard and install the Ultra Plugins. Go to Plugins -> Add New Plugin -> Upload Plugin and choose or drag the zip file into the box. Make sure to pull the correct zip file, since there will be two at that point.

Next, go to Appearance -> Themes -> Add New Theme -> Upload New Theme, then drag or select the correct zip file. Once the theme is installed, all you need to do is activate it. This will redirect you to the Themify Ultra Dashboard (which you can also find in the sidebar).

Working With Ultra

Once you install the Plugin and Theme, the complications end, and it’s smooth sailing from there. Creating your first website is actually a breeze. All you have to do is go to the Themify Ultra Dashboard -> Skins & Demos and choose a demo that will suit your business needs.

Click Import to see all the additional plugins you need for the demo to work. You can install them all right then and there by simply clicking on “Install.”

Below, you will have to choose what to retain from your content. If you want an entirely new website with everything ready, just mark all the boxes, and you will have a completely ready product. However, it’s wise to replace all the stock images afterward, as they’re not ideal for your SEO and marketing efforts.

That’s it. You have a ready, fully functioning website. Now, all you have to do is swoop in the customization panel and the various pages and change the content.

As you can see, you can’t use the website out of the box. You need to touch the content a bit. Thankfully, with Themify Ultra’s extraordinary features, that’s hardly a problem.

Features

Themify Ultra’s features definitely separate this WP goldmine from the rest. They are not just handy but also extremely easy to use. Moreover, they complement each other perfectly so that you can create one genuine masterpiece.

So, let’s have a look at some of the most important features:

Pre-Made Websites

Naturally, this one is for the newbies. Sure, they may have a bit of a hard time until the installation is complete, but from then on, they hardly have to lift a finger. With a pre-made website design spanning across multiple industries and niches, you can be up and running within an hour of starting your online business adventure. Whether you are a medical practitioner or an author, you can simply take a ready-made website and make it your own by adding your own content. It’s easy, and it’s fast. So, if you’re not after something special but rather just want your spot on the Internet, you are ready to go.

Still, you must customize your content to make the website unique and SEO-friendly. Thankfully, Themify has you covered.

Ultra Customization Panel

The Customization Panel is much more than what you’d see in a regular theme.

The Advanced options available for the premium package are virtually limitless; you can change the entire website bit by bit, making it perfect for your vision. It’s not only about the logos and menus. You can change every color, every font, anything.

Furthermore, you can use the Themify Ultra dashboard to further customize your page. There, you can add Header and Footer Code, integrate Google Analytics, add a 404 page, and explore other options to enhance your website’s performance.

You can also prepare a default layout for your pages. Now, that’s when things get interesting.

60+ Layout Library

Creating your first landing page can be a bit stressful. It needs to be perfect. It needs to capture attention and ensure your customers will finish the journey. Well, once again, Themify has your back.

With over 60 layouts covering almost any need, you can create spectacular landing (or any other) pages that will instantly increase your conversion rate. Just go to Pages -> Add New Page and click on the faint but still visible Import Layout.

Then, of course, you will have to make it your own, but that’s always a prerequisite.

Section Scrolling

Another pretty cool feature is the ability to create a unique customer experience via scrolling. The idea behind Section scrolling actually comes from another Themify Theme – FullPane. This allows users to create unique pages that feel more like a presentation. The scroll swiftly moves from one section to the next, and it can also scroll horizontally. This enhances customer focus and is a goldmine for sales and product pages.

To activate this neat feature, just go to a page -> scroll down to the Themify Custom Panel -> select the last page Layout option (Section scrolling), and customize the scrolling process through the new section you will get below.

Mega Menu

Another outstanding feature is the Mega Menu. It’s perfect for all sorts of industries and niche businesses, as it lets you post multi-column dropdown menus, new widgets, and recent posts. It’s perfect for e-commerce websites or those with many products to showcase.

The Mega Menus are a bit harder to work with, so it’s best to watch the tutorial on that here.

The Mega Menu can be customized in various ways. It can also be split into columns and displayed with tags, custom links, categories, and widgets, along with pages. Naturally, if you plan to open a large online store with many products, these options will give you unparalleled navigation power, enhancing the user experience to a whole new level.

Visuals

When discussing features, we can’t forget the visuals. The theme’s color scheme alone is outstanding. But that’s hardly the best part. Color animations, background sidebars, background videos, and image filters that you can apply globally or individually – all of these features allow you to build one genuinely mesmerizing website that will capture attention and drive sales.

Woocommerce Ready

Speaking of sales, one of the best features of Ultra is that it’s entirely WooCommerce-ready. The integration is seamless, and it allows you to create an on-brand shopping experience. This will certainly put you skyrocket above all your immediate competitors.

When your online store shares the same theme, colors, and style as your website, your customers will feel more secure and, naturally, will be more willing to spend their money with you. Moreover, your credibility and authority will grow, along with your sales.

Themify Builder

Now, the builder is not the best one out there. But it was never supposed to be. It’s an addition to the Themify Ultra experience, allowing both advanced and not-so-advanced users with a specific vision to add a unique twist to their customer journeys. Even so, the builder is more than good enough. Its color coding scheme allows you to work seamlessly on precisely what you intend.

Naturally, the builder lets you edit the visual and content aspects of your pages live. It will let you change the entire page by adding or deleting blocks. Moreover, you will be able to introduce new layouts and segments. Essentially, the builder isn’t any different than most page builders, although it certainly lacks some of the more advanced features.

Regardless, the Themify page builder is an excellent addition to the Ultra theme, especially for responsiveness and customizing the user experience across devices.

Finally, with the pro version, Themify offers 12 bonus builder add-ons, valued at over 100 dollars if purchased individually. Of course, one can easily create a website without them, but having the option to create timelines, counters, countdowns, progress bars, pricing tables, sliders, or simply add maps or better images will immensely enhance your website’s user experience.

Who Is It For?

Given the features and how the theme works, a broad range of users can benefit from Themify Ultra. It is particularly well-suited for freelancers, designers, and small business owners who need a flexible, customizable theme without extensive coding skills.

For beginners, Ultra offers a seamless way to start their business within a few hours. With just a few clicks, the website’s layout is ready to go. Most of the time will be spent filling out the content.

For developers, Themify Ultra provides robust customization options, including control over headers, footers, and design elements, as well as the ability to create unique websites through the builder.

It is also a solid choice for those aiming to optimize their website for mobile devices and SEO, thanks to its responsive design and clean code.

Is the Pro Version Worth It?

In a word – Yes. Definitely. The vast library of templates alone makes the $69 annual license fee (as of this writing) well worth it. But that’s just the beginning. With the paid version, you will also gain access to the Advanced Customization Options, the Drag-and-Drop Builder, Pre-Built Layouts, the WooCommerce integration plugin, and HubSpot and WPforms. And, of course, let’s not forget the builder add-ons, which opened an entirely new world for designers. So, yes, spending $69 to enhance your user experience is definitely worth it.

What About the Speed?

Last but not least, let’s discuss the highlight of the show. Themify Ultra is among the fastest themes you can install on WordPress. It consistently delivers outstanding results when tested with website speed tools like GTmetrix.

That’s why we love Theme Ultra. It perfectly fits our hosting highlights. We at HostAramda pride ourselves on lightning-fast website delivery speeds, top-notch security, and unwavering reliability.
