Questions to be asked during a blogger template purchase

I have recently ordered a premium blogger template online. But when I actually got it, I wondered whether I have ordered a wrong one. The template I have seen in demo is completely different from what I have received when my order got delivered. I was emotionally down and cursed myself for buying the template in such a hurry. I almost deleted it. But later I could customize it to reach just near to how I want it to appear. It took me more than a week.


It was my own mistake. I have realized it. I should have studied as many aspects of it as possible and asked as many questions as possible before actually purchasing it. But I have forgotten to do it. I am sure nobody will love to fall in such trench. So today let me share with you what questions must get answered before placing an order for it. 

Is the design in accordance with your preference?

You should see whether the design of the template is dynamically professional or not. You should like the design first. I have loved the design of the template I have purchased-professional and inclusive.

What are the areas in which customization can be done?

You must ask the seller of the template in which areas the changes can be made. If there is less number of areas where there is allowed-customization then it cannot be dynamic and adjustable. It will be hard for you to change it with the change in your preferences and blogging situations. 

Is the template SEO responsive?

This is one of the questions you shouldn’t forget to ask if you are planning to buy a template to use in your professional blog. A template that isn’t SEO responsive will not generate much traffic for you though you try hard to improve it through different means. A blog with low traffic cannot generate good income. 

Is the template recently upgraded version or not?

I have forgotten to ask this question to my template seller. Therefore, the template which I have seen in demo and based on which I made up my mind to purchase is completely different from what I get when I actually received the premium version. By then it was already too late. I have paid. I cannot return it. I had to do so many customizations just to make it somewhat near to that demo version. So you should never forget to ask this question. 

Is there any other offer with the template?

Some premium blogger templates will come with some free offers. Some sellers allow it free update whenever its version is being changed. You should also ask this. It is important to know. Otherwise you may land up paying for even other ancillary services which in other premium templates can be installed for free of cost. 

What are the areas in which customization can’t be done?

You should also know where customization cannot be done. When this question is being asked, some sellers may say that areas where customization can be done also aren’t customizable just to make you pay for them even for a simple customization. You must know more than them. It’s for your blog and not their blog.  

What additional features does it have over free version?

This is also yet another important question you must ask the template seller. If premium template doesn’t have many additional features compare to its free version then it’s of no use spending money for the premium template.

There can be more than thousand free blogger templates. You just have to know how to search them in the internet, download them, do some customization works and then install in your blogs. Some free templates are better than some premium template. You shouldn’t hurry in buying templates. The golden rule here can be like, the longer you take in purchasing a template higher will be the probability of getting a better template.
