What kind of WordPress themes do you prefer? Free or premium? Opinion is divided about what kind of themes you should use! There are those who argue premium themes are the best option because there is support included if something goes wrong.
And I agree that support is an important feature.
But there are tons of great free WordPress themes to choose from. And there are often some support, but sometimes very bad. So this is a disadvantage with free themes.
