It is true that content is the king but one should not neglect the design of the theme for this reason. Design of the theme is very important at least when you consider the first visitor which helps you in turning him as the loyal reader for your blog. “Should I get the premium theme for my blog? ” is the most common question which arises for the every webmaster and there are lots of debates on the Free Vs Premium Themes and here I would like to discuss and tell you why your blog needs a premium theme.
Design & Looks
A theme which is designed exclusively for your blog or a premium them with considerable amount of modification according to your needs and taste will always set you blog apart from the rest and The design of the theme definitely makes an impact and make stand your blog proud in the blogosphere.
Community Support
When you purchase a premium theme or hire a designer for creating an exclusive theme, assistance would be provided and well set of tutorials for setting up your theme will be provided to make things and installation better and assures you the hassle free support before your themes goes live. Thesis is the theme which is well known for excellent community support, you can ask that anyone who is using the theme.
Return of Investment
One will always think about the return of investment in every aspect and purchasing the theme will always be beneficial in many ways. In long term view the readers of your blog will remember the design of your blog and Premium themes allows and encourages you to tweak your theme considering the fact that it has excellent community support if something goes wrong and also it provides a better platform to engage with the coding masters and also it will help you in starting your own Theme Customization Services and helps in making some few bucks by helping others.
Final Thoughts
One can always run a blog with the free themes and no doubt that there are many free themes with community support but switching to the premium theme will always have its own benefits.
If you are using a premium or custom made theme it is fine else I will strongly recommend one and all to move to the premium themes if you haven’t moved yet.

Well it’s a question which can not be answered by anyone. I think that premium theme is not so necessary. All it needs how much you know about coding. I you are good in coding you can design your theme from scratch and give the look according your taste.
