Best Clean WordPress Themes

1. Divi

Price: $89/year or $249 for life

The Divi "all-in-one" theme uses the Divi Builder, which has real-time customization options and provides responsive previews of your changes. With the drag-and-drop builder, you can easily add, delete, and move elements to wherever you want them on the page. 

Divi's page builder also has plenty of useful add-ins like an audio player, call-to-action buttons, contact forms, countdown timers, and more. These add-ins are all customizable whether you use Divi's built-in options or add your own CSS styling.

2. Soledad

Price: $59

This theme is compatible with Elementor, which is a page builder that uses a drag-and-drop editor. Elementor can be used to build just about anything — from detailed landing pages to elaborate websites. It's an effective tool that's relatively easy to use even if you don't have much experience with web design.

Another cool feature of Soledad is that it uses accelerated mobile pages (or AMP). When displayed on a mobile device, these pages load five times faster compared to webpages that are non-AMP. Since page speed is a major factor influencing SEO, this makes Soledad a good option for those who want to rank a little higher on the SERPs.
