In this article, we explain why Hestia is un tema que deberías usar si eres nuevo en WordPress.
Hestia theme offers beautiful design
That's one of the reasons we've focused on this topic - Hestia's design is nice. The home page is simple, with an eye-catching bedside hero (large format image) and a button that enables you to perform a call to action (llamada a la acción) para llevar al Username a una tienda o a una página importante para su sitio.
Its 'nested' layout is still optional, but the '3D effect' due to its shading provides a dynamic and unusual design.
The different sections that make up the home page are followed by proposing a simple and effective design.
Hestia is very easy to set up
It is without any doubt a criterion of choice, why Hestia's theme already has thousands of installations: its ease of configuration / customization.
While some themes offer a dedicated control panel with hundreds of configuration options, the Hestia theme offers only a few options directly in the customizer (the customization tab underAppearance> Customize).
So you won't get lost and you won't have to tame a tab dedicated to customization planned by the developers of the theme. Everything happens in the native WordPress tab.
If you are used to working with WordPress and changing themes regularly, it can take a long time to understand how the theme should be configured. Isn't that correct?
In this way Hestia goes against the grain of what she is doing - it is simple - and she seems to be successful!
Don't get me wrong, just because it offers few options doesn't make it poor. The essential options are there, ideales si planeas crear tu primer sitio o Blog.
Hestia does not require a builder page
Here we go ... The famous builder pages, the ones that complicate the situation when you start with WordPress.
Many beginners, at the same time, have difficulty differentiating the options of a theme from the options offered by a builder page. Everything gets confusing at first and can even scare or discourage the user!
With the Hestia theme, puedes olvidarte de las páginas de los constructores, al menos al principio. De este modo, podrá concentrarse únicamente en la arquitectura de su sitio, el contents de sus páginas y el diseño de su página de inicio. Eso es lo más importante cuando lo piensas!
But how? No builder page
How to create an attractive home page without a builder page?
The answer is simple: it is enough that the developers of the theme have foreseen it. And Hestia offers a modular home page with 11 customizable sections:
Go to tab Appearance> Customize. Among the various settings, you will see the tab«Home page sections». This will allow you to enable or disable each of the available sections such as:
1 - The headlines section:
Ese es el héroe de cabecera. Puede cambiar la imagen de bienvenida, los títulos y subtítulos, así como el link del botón. Esta sección no se puede desactivar.
2 - The section »features»:
This is the »proposed» section. You can customize the icons and their color, without forgetting the titles and contents. Three highlighted items are already installed, but you can add new ones.
3 - About section:
This section will display the text that has been entered in your home page editor. I'm talking about the page you created in the tab Page> All Pages> Home. This way you can add content for free.
From the customizer, you can change the background image and at the same time you can enter text, without having to edit your page. It is extremely simple.
4 - The Equipment section:

9 - The Blog section:
This section is simple, it will show your latest published articles. You can only choose the number of articles, but you will not be able to filter them by category, as an example. In the same way as the other sections, it can be deactivated.
10 - The Contact section:
A contact form for onboarding is provided in this section. You can very easily configure the embedded form with Hestia: Pirate Forms.
11 - The Shop section:
El tema de Hestia es compatible con WooCommerce. Por lo tanto, si instala una tienda en línea, tendrá una undécima sección en su página de inicio.
Hestia is compatible with Elementor
What? what do you mean? Didn't we say that Hestia didn't need a page builder?
If, in fact, as we have just seen, the home page is made up of sections worthy of a page builder, therefore there is no need to add one.
Apart from this, if you want to build complex layouts on the rest of the pages on your site, you will definitely need a page builder.
Good news! Hestia is compatible with Elementor, the trendy extension to create beautiful designs… for free! At the same time it is compatible with Beaver Builder.
There is no need to rush. If you start with WordPress, Hestia It will be self-sufficient in the beginning. Then you can easily install Elémentor to improve your other pages.
The significant advantages of Hestia
La ventaja significativa es que este tema es freemium. Dicho de otra forma, es libre hasta un cierto nivel de personalización.
But that's not all, the company that created this theme recommends the installation of two of its extensions:
- Orbit Fox
- Pirate Shapes
By installing them, you will have access to many additional and fully supported features without spending hours adding xxx plugins and configuring them! That is a huge time saver.
This is what Orbit Fox will bring you:
- a social sharing module: esto le ahorra la necesidad de añadir un plugin como Monarch a modo de ejemplo.
- a notification module when your site is down
- un módulo de incorporación de seguimiento de Google analytics
- Hestia home page sections: no builder page needed thanks to home page sections, as seen previously
- widgets compatibles con Elementor y Beaver Builder
- downloadable designs: you can install up to 12 templates with one click
- icons to add to your main menu: ideal for a personalized menu
- Royalty-free images from MyStock.Photos: Lots of royalty-free photos, straight from your office. It's rare to see that in a freemium theme / plugin!
- a notification bar of your privacy policy: This saves you the use of an additional plugin and is very easy to configure!
- a CDN to host your photos and lighten your site (beta for now)
In conclusion
To conclude, the theme of Hestia is great for beginners because many features are embedded without having to rip your hair to set them. Rarely have I seen such a simple theme that gives such a beautiful design.
A la vez, puedes ver que las secciones disponibles en la página de inicio te permiten crear un blog, un sitio de escaparate o una tienda online. Esto significa que este tema de WordPress podría ser usado fácilmente por un blogger, una agencia o un negocio.
Therefore, it adapts to all situations and its number of active installs promises to use a theme that will be maintained and improved in the long term, unlike other free themes that can quickly become obsolete.
Tip before finishing: the option of increase Hestia theme credits in footer no existe. Pero no te preocupes, con este pequeño trozo de CSS, puedes borrar fácilmente su pantalla:
.copyright.pull-right {display: none; }
Copy and paste this code in the tab Appearance> Customize> Additional CSS.
IMPORTANT: This code will only hide the link, but it will still be there.
