How to Choose a Wordpress Theme

Hi all! I've been here for a month or so now, and I was looking to make my website look better, so started playing around with the appearance of my theme (Herbal lite). I found that I could not make it look like the demo version - it has a nice slider with three rotating images and a feature article on the homepage.

I then realised that I would have to buy the full version of the theme to actually get this option, so I was a bit annoyed to be honest. I didn't realise that you have like a "lite" version where it's really basic, and then you have to pay for the full version to make it look professional.

My website doesn't look too bad, but the homepage is just a list of my posts. It doesn't look great to be honest.

I guess I would like to know what others do in regards to their wordpress themes - in case i'm missing something here - I haven't used wordpress before, just used others like Wix etc.

Thanks for reading!
