الرئيسية Comparisons / Entelak or a regular WordPress theme?
Entelak or buying a WordPress theme from a marketplace?
A marketplace theme arrives empty, with a page builder and plugins to install and configure before you write your content; an Entelak theme is built in the browser with your own content, so your pages, menus and pictures are created when you activate it, from native WordPress blocks with no plugins. You preview it on real WordPress before paying SAR 109.
What differs
| Aspect | Entelak | Marketplace theme |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | A block theme with your content, pages ready on activation | An empty theme, or sample content you import and replace |
| Plugins | None: native WordPress blocks | Usually a page builder and plugins that need updating |
| Arabic and direction | Arabic first, with Arabic fonts and a dark theme | Localised after purchase and reviewed page by page |
| Before paying | You design and preview for free | A generic demo, not your content |
| Updates | Nothing to update: no plugins, no page builder | Theme and plugin updates |
| Price | SAR 109 for a ready template, once | Varies by marketplace; some are licensed yearly |
