What to Look for in a Blog Template

Before we dive into the best templates, let’s quickly discuss why using an Elementor template kit may be beneficial for your blog website.

How to Choose the Best Elementor Template Kit for Your Blog Website

With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect Elementor template kit for your blog website. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:

Design

When you’re looking for a template kit, make sure it matches your brand and style. This part can be a bit tricky because the colors and images used in the template can really influence how you perceive the design. Take a moment to really look at it and imagine how it would look with your own color scheme and photos. You’ll be surprised how much just changing the colors can transform the look of a template.

In my testing, I checked each template and evaluated how easy it was to customize the colors to match your brand.

Layouts

One of the great things about using an Elementor template is getting predesigned page and page section layouts that you need. Especially important for a blog website is having great looking Single Post and Archive Blog pages. ( The single post page is the design of your individual posts, and the archive blog page is the design of your main posts page ).

When browsing template kits, be sure to check out the different layouts they offer for these pages. See if they have different options for displaying your blog posts, such as a grid or list view. Also, consider if they have any unique layout designs that could make your blog stand out.

In looking for great Elementor blog templates I was surprised how many of them that claimed to be for blog websites, but didn’t include layouts for single post or archive page layouts!

Customization

Another major factor to consider is how easy it is to customize the template. While most templates will require some level of customization, some may be more difficult than others.

This is difficult to evaluate with out actually installing the the template. What you are looking for is did the designer of the template correctly link the colors and fonts they used on the pages with the global colors and fonts in Elementor.

All of the templates I have included in my list of best Elementor templates for blogs did a good job in this area. The scores I gave for global color usability really varied more on the type of design and if that design type would still look good if other colors were chosen.

The Testing Criteria

• Did the design look complete and useful?
• How many additional plugins were required?
• Did the template offer Single and Blog Page Archive options? (Surprsingly some “Blog Templates” didn’t include templates for the actual blog pages)
• Can you use the images featured in the template on your own website?
• Were there an over use of animations in the design? (too many of the good designs over used animations so I wasn’t able to cut them, you’ll just have to manually turn them off 🙄)
