One of the factors that make visitors be at home is our website and stay longer is the view of the website itself. If the website with a look too plain and minimal features, will make visitors consider our website less professional and unattractive. Conversely, if our website has a feature/widget that is impressed  "Rame" and is not neat it will make our website take a long time to load so that visitors become uncomfortable.

Nowadays, there are a lot of websites that provide free website/blog templates with a lot of options and variations. There is no harm in using a free blog template, but if we choose a premium blog template aka Pay of course there are more value than free templates. What's more if you are a blogger who already has a plan on how to forward a blog/website that you have.

Some of the advantages we can if we use premium templates, this is based on my own observations.

The most perceived advantage is the fancy features that free templates don't have. In the free template, usually the developer only embeds a built-in feature. Unlike premium templates, developers certainly consider the many features and advantages in order to be an attraction for potential buyers. In addition to the complete features we are also given ease in customization.

2. Security

This is actually an overload of an invisible premium blog template. But for web developers will know if free templates sometimes embedded malicious code that can be a big threat to our blog/website. Perhaps some of us think, that using a free template is a saving way to earn money on the internet but it turns out it is not. So, if we are serious about making money online, then we should want to invest money for a purpose in this online business.

3. Customer Support

You don't have to worry when you're having trouble using a template you've purchased, the developer will definitely help you. The theme developers and customer support staff will provide solutions and assistance in that regard. Unlike a free template that usually does not have user support, so when a template error occurs then we should fix it ourselves.

A very obvious difference between a free template and a premium template is a template update issue. On free templates are usually rare or not even updated at all. If you purchase a premium template, you'll get the latest updates if the developer is adding features or improvements in case of an error. 

And the last is special, why is it called special? Because to get a premium template, we as bloggers have to pay. Then the premium template will be fewer users than a free template. On a premium template we can customize the template so that the look of our templates is cooler and more unique.

We as a website owner should pay attention to website performance so that visitors do not run and feel welcome to visit. Do not let us wrong using the template, because the display of the website will be assessed first time by visitors. What's more if we've been serious about building a blog for the long haul. But if you are a beginner blogger and do not want to spend a lot of money, it is better to just select a free template. But we have to be satisfied with what we can from that free template.

So how? Do you have a firm stance with the free template? Or start shaky with and move hearts to a premium template? If you really want to be serious, then it's time to upgrade.
