Hi friends,
Hope all is well on your side. I’m just a beginner trying to write my thoughts online. Not a tech expert or any digital guru.
I recently started my freelancing journey in digital marketing. Like many of us in India, I didn’t have a big budget to make a fancy website. But I knew one thing clearly — in this field, having a neat, clean website is very important. Clients will check your site before giving any work.
So, after checking many themes here and there, I came across a theme called Artistic on ThemeForest. I used it for my personal site and thought I’ll share my simple experience. Maybe it helps other Indian freelancers, marketers, or agencies who are just starting like me.
Let’s begin
What is Artistic Theme?
Artistic is a premium WordPress theme. It is mainly made for digital marketers, freelancers, consultants, and agencies. You can use it even if you don’t know any coding. It works with Elementor — just drag and drop.
You can build a site for:
- SEO experts
- Social media managers
- Content writers
- Small digital agencies
- Freelance designers
- Coaching or training services
With this theme, you can show:
- Your services
- Portfolio
- Team
- Testimonials
- Blog posts
- Contact forms
- Pricing
It is fast, mobile-friendly, and looks very professional.
Why It’s Good for Indian Digital People
1. Professional Look Like Big Agency
As we all know, in India, people trust what they see. So if your website looks smart and clean, they take you seriously. Artistic has layouts that look like agency sites — with service blocks, team section, client logos, etc. Good for building trust.
2. No Coding Needed
Most Indian freelancers (including me) are not developers. But Artistic uses Elementor, so editing is easy. Just click and change things — like services, reviews, contact box, footer, etc. Even my cousin who is a photographer used it.
3. Fast on Indian Hosting
I tested this theme on a basic shared hosting plan (cheap one). Still, the site loaded fast. Lazy loading of images and clean code helps. Even if someone opens your site from mobile on slow internet like Vi or BSNL, it works smoothly.
4. SEO + Google Ads Ready
This theme is made keeping SEO in mind. Headings are proper, schema is there, and layout is neat. Also, space is there for Google AdSense ads. So if you blog also, you can earn from ads.
5. Demos for Every Need
There are ready-made designs for:
- Creative Agency
- SEO Firm
- Social Media Consultant
- Freelance Portfolio
- Content Writer
- Coaching Website
You just import the demo and start editing. Saves time.
6. Supports Indian Languages
You can make the site in Tamil, Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, etc. Works with WPML and TranslatePress. Very helpful if you have local clients or want to explain in your mother tongue.
Features I Liked the Most
Ready Demos
All demos look professional. You can use any demo and just replace text and photos. It feels like ready-made clothes — just fit and wear.
Elementor Blocks
Very useful blocks are already there:
- Service sections
- Pricing tables
- FAQs
- Team members
- Lead forms
- Testimonials
- Call to action banners
Just drag and drop.
Speed Optimized
Theme is made light. Scripts are loaded smartly. Images are lazy-loaded. Works well with WP Rocket or Autoptimize (popular Indian plugins for speed).
Sell Services with WooCommerce
If you are selling coaching, templates, PDFs, or ebooks — you can use WooCommerce. Even payment gateways like Razorpay or Stripe can be added.
Blogging + Adsense
I added 2 blog posts like “SEO Tips for Small Shops” and “Google Ads Guide for Beginners”. There is space inside post to show ads — not just sidebar.
Mobile Friendly
In our country, many clients open sites on mobile first. Artistic theme is responsive and smooth on phone screen.
My Simple Setup Process
I made my own site in 1 day. Here’s what I did:
- Bought Artistic theme from ThemeForest (~₹4800 with GST)
- Logged in to WordPress → Added Theme → Activated
- Imported “SEO Agency” demo
- Edited homepage, services, contact form, and about page
- Installed Elementor (free version)
- Added 2 blog posts
- Installed WP Rocket for speed and Rank Math for SEO
- Added WhatsApp chat button
- Connected Google Analytics and shared on LinkedIn
That’s it. Site was ready and looking good.

Pros & Cons
Final Thoughts
So friends, if you are a freelance marketer, SEO guy, social media expert, or running small digital agency in India — I feel Artistic is a very good theme to start with.
You don’t need to spend ₹20,000 for web designer. For under ₹5000, you can make a smart, fast and mobile-ready website.
It’s not magic — yes, you need to learn basic Elementor. But once you get used to it, it becomes easy.
I’m happy with this theme and just wanted to share my small experience. Maybe it helps someone who is just starting in this field.
Thanks for reading. If you have any doubt, feel free to comment. I’ll try my best to reply from what little I know
All the best for your online journey
