TemplateMonster Review
Template Monster offers a variety of themes for many different CMSs, from blogs to e-commerce sites. It’s not always easy finding WordPress templates when you’re using another platform, but Template Monster has what you need.
You can find hundreds of available designs and it is almost impossible not to find one that suits your needs with so many options. On top of these software-specific themes, there are also web templates on Template Monster which work without the use of any special CMS at all — great if this is something you haven’t had experience with in the past.
Themes
CMS Marketplace websites are popular because they have hundreds of themes for you to choose from. After all, not everyone wants the same thing out of their website’s design. Yet most people would prefer if it was a little easier to find a theme they like without having to manually go through 300 different possibilities one by one.
So when looking for a new theme on your CMS marketplace, here are some easy-to-follow tips:
The first step is searching with keywords or clicking on categories (e.g., “WordPress”).
On smaller screens, this will give you 2–4 results per row which show enough detail so that you know what the theme looks like before clicking on the individual page — making this search process quick and simple.
You can further narrow down these results using filters such as subcategories (e.g., “fashion and beauty” or “education”). By choosing only features that matter most to your site’s design needs (“responsive,” etc.), popularity, styles, and colors.

There should be 50–100 themes leftover in total after filtering everything else out — the perfect number of choices for narrowing down options quickly while still getting.
Payment Options
You can pay for a theme with PayPal or any major credit card. After you buy the theme, you’ll be able to download the source code in a compressed file. From there, installing your new theme is just like installing any other WordPress theme- on some CMSs (like WordPress), it takes only clicks and seconds to upload the downloaded file and activate it!
There’s really nothing special here overall; accessing and downloading your newly purchased them can be done at any time inside of your account/account page.
Customer Support
Most buyers of themes are not technical people, meaning they aren’t coders with extensive backgrounds in coding. If you’re like them and are running into issues occasionally, it’s always nice to have support available if you need help.
On every page of the Template Monster website, there is a small live chat bubble icon that pops up in the bottom right corner. From there you can ask questions about before purchasing from consulting (before buying), technical support, or billing 24 hours a day 7 days a week through this chat service.
This chat will solve any simple question or problem quickly and easily so it’s an important piece of our customer service coverage! If your issue isn’t so easy, though we still want to hear from you because complicated issues take more than five minutes on average for us to answer back — you can submit tickets anytime where detailed answers await but may take longer depending on how busy support people are at that time.
