I had a difficult time searching for exterior design templates online – most of them were outdated or had a very common design. Hopefully you’re able to find the perfect theme for your business ventures.
I like Deco as an architectural theme but all eight have same features as Google fonts, parallax effects, retina ready and also some of them are coming with cherry framework. Choosing one is based on our choice. Thank you for sharing.
Very much a fan of number 6 – as with all WP themes though its the coding, speed and SEO set-up that makes the difference once it comes its marketing the site.
Thanks for the round-up.
