A WordPress theme affects how a site is structured and presented, with compatibility and setup features worth comparing alongside theme type. Check block editor and child theme support, accessibility readiness, and support for RTL and WooCommerce. Starter sites can help distinguish what setup options are listed, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing provide cost context.
