Kadence Child Themes

Kadence Child Themes by SheShoppes let you create fast, customizable, SEO-optimized, and high-performance websites without breaking a sweat!

Meet Kadence WordPress, the ultimate WordPress theme that’s not just fully customizable but also seriously fast. It’s our secret sauce for creating all those premium WordPress themes you love.

A child theme is essentially an extension of a parent theme. It inherits all the characteristics and functionalities of the parent theme but allows you to make customizations without affecting the original files. Kadence WP, also known as the parent theme, serves as the framework, providing a solid foundation for your WordPress themes. It works with the Kadence Blocks plugin, which acts as the block builder, extending the functionality of Gutenberg blocks to give you the tools needed to create beautiful pages without the bloat of visual page builders.

Both Kadence WP and Kadence Blocks plugin are available for free, and every single one of our child themes works flawlessly with these free versions. For those seeking more advanced features and capabilities, there’s an option to upgrade to the PRO versions. The premium upgrades unlock a range of even more powerful tools and features, taking your website from great to mind-blowingly awesome.

As a full-stack web developer who used to build websites from scratch, here’s why I choose Kadence over any other page builder.

I used to build websites from scratch to the point I got booked a year in advance. The first time I tried a WordPress page builder specifically requested by a client, I completed their website in just one night while on holiday in Paris (long story)—a task that usually took me days, weeks, or even months.

I tried and tested several other builders since, looking to officially incorporate them into my web development projects. However, I was held back by the bloat this builder and many others added, injecting unnecessary code and slowing down my pages. Moreover, I didn’t feel they were right for me because they used their own custom interfaces or environments to load the editor, which can feel disconnected from the native WordPress experience.

Fast forward a few years and I found Kadence.

Here are the reasons why I stick with it, become an advocate for it, and use it in all of my projects, including offering the premade themes:

  1. Speed
    Kadence is designed to deliver fast website performance. Its clean and efficient code structure ensures that your sites load quickly, providing a smooth user experience every time.
  2. Easy to Optimize for Core Web Vitals
    Kadence makes it straightforward to meet Core Web Vitals benchmarks. It’s built with performance in mind, simplifying the process of optimizing your site’s speed, responsiveness, and visual stability.
  3. No Bloat
    With Kadence, your site stays lean and efficient. There are no unnecessary features weighing it down, ensuring top-notch performance without the clutter.
  4. Design Library
    Kadence makes sharing design elements a breeze. I can make each of my themes come with its own design library, featuring sections that users can mix and match to create their own unique pages.
  5. Abundant Features
    Kadence is packed with features that make a developer’s and most importantly end user’s life easier. From customization options to performance tools, it provides everything you need to quickly build websites while streamlining your workflow.

We have high-quality Kadence WordPress themes,
each accompanied by its own block library.

They are not your average cookie-cutter WordPress themes;
every single one of them was meticulously detailed and has its own unique style and features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pre installation requirement: To use our themes, you must have a WordPress website that is self-hosted. This means you have secured a domain name and a hosting service. If your website is on WordPress.com, you need to be on at least their Business Plan.

In addition to this, our themes require the Kadence theme and Kadence Blocks plugin. Both of these are available for free and during the setup process you’ll be prompted to install them directly from your WordPress dashboard.

You have the freedom to tweak everything from the layout, header, footer, color scheme, typography (fonts), buttons, and so much more. You can add sections to your layout, delete sections that you don’t need, rearrange the order of sections, and truly make the site your own. Each theme comes with a comprehensive options panel that allows you to control every aspect of your website.

Kadence and Elementor are compatible with each other and you can use both of them simultaneously on the same website.

However, it’s important to note that our pages and layouts are primarily designed using Gutenberg editor, while Elementor operates in a completely different environment from Gutenberg editor.

This means that a page created with Gutenberg editor cannot be edited using the Elementor editor and vice versa. If you wish to use both, they would need to be used on separate pages.

Absolutely! When you purchase any of our themes, you’re automatically granted a Custom Commercial License which allows you to use our themes for client projects. Please make sure to purchase a separate license for each client project to comply with our terms of service. This ensures you have full support and access to updates for every project using our products.

As our products are digital in nature, we cannot offer refunds or accept returns once a sale is completed. However, if you have any queries or concerns prior to your purchase, feel free to reach out to us!

  • The designs are beautiful and easy to add on and make adjustments.

    Sheilla is an absolute WordPress genius. The designs are beautiful and easy to add on and make adjustments. However if you don’t want to do the website edits / leg work, pay her to install it for you. The best time saver and stress reducer.

Beyond the speed boost, we were blown away by the beautifully designed layouts and thoughtful extra features that came with the theme.
