Quick answers for this chapter
Free or premium theme?
A good free theme is enough for most small business sites. Premium themes add more designs and support.
Do I need a page builder like Elementor?
No. The block editor can build most business sites, and it’s faster.
Can I change themes later?
Yes. Your pages and posts stay, but the design and some theme-specific settings change.
