Neve PRO is my favorite theme for websites built with Elementor

In case you missed it, the deal is for new users only, so if you already have an account, you’ll have to sign up with a new email address. I’ve been using Neve Pro for a few months already, I’m happy to see it on a lifetime deal. I did check out the other 2 themes as well, but most of my experience is with Neve Pro. Here’s a summary of my experience with them:

ShopIsle Pro
ShopIsle's homepage is not built with a page builder, but each section can be fully customized from the live WordPress customizer. Compared to a page builder, it is a bit limited, but more powerful than I expected. The main advantage is that you’ll spend much less time customizing everything, it’s already designed to look great.

It has a shortcodes section for the homepage, which allows you to easily insert content built with page builders if you need that.

I also like the predefined color schemes, although I wish there were more to choose from.

Hestia Pro
Similar to ShopIsle Pro, Hestia Pro’s default homepage (and other important pages, like Shop, Blog) can be edited with the live WordPress customizer. It has some predefined layouts and some extra choices as well, I really like the design.

Hestia Pro has a 9 beautiful ready-made sites in its library, all built with Elementor. I hope they will add more in the future.

What I really liked about Hestia Pro more than most themes I used is the number of hooks available in the theme and that it can also execute PHP snippets.

Neve Pro
Neve Pro is built with page-builders in mind. It has plenty of ready-sites built for the most popular page builders and they keep on adding:
32 for Elementor
14 for Brizy
19 for Beaver Builder
1 for Gutenberg

Personally, I only use Elementor, so I’m happy that has the most demos. The ready-made sites are beautiful, it’s a fantastic start for me. It’s nice to see that the ready-sites are complete (homepage, archive pages, post type pages, etc.).

I was surprised to find out that Neve is faster than Astra, which was the fastest theme for page builders, AFAIK.

Overall

I highly recommend checking out their live demos (they have admin demo too), so you know what these themes are capable of.

Overall, I really like the themes. Neve Pro has recently become my new favorite (instead of Astra) when it comes to building a website with Elementor (or other page builders). I do hope they will add more ready-made sites for Gutenberg too, for websites where I don’t want to use a page builder at all.

One thing worth noting from the start is that that ShopIsle Pro and Hestia Pro are standalone themes (meaning the Pro version replaces the premium theme), while Neve Pro is an add-on plugin for the Neve theme.

If you plan to use a page builder on your website, then my vote definitely goes to Neve Pro. It beats every other theme I used with Elementor (and the ready-made sites are just gorgeus).

If you don’t need plan to use a page builder, then I’d choose between Hestia and ShopIsle, depending on my needs.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review!

Block editor starter sites are definitely the next thing on our list, we're aiming for 40 more Elementor starter sites as well until the end of the year.
