 * Hello,
    I have to transfer the website xyz.wordpress.com to xyz.com (3rd party
   hoster).
 * I am able to import everything via WordPress importer but how can i get the design
   to look like before?
 * The Design on xyz.wordpress.com was individualized (individual design, some premium
   pacakge). On the new page, the standard twenty fourteen design is shown.

 * Hello!
 * You need to discover the name of the actual theme on your wordpress.com site 
   and install it on the new site.
 * About the customizations: search for plugins that have the same functionality
   and install them.
 * Good Luck 🙂

 * Premium Themes are customized for WordPress.com usage only, and cannot be transferred
   to self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

 * Thx for answers,
    the Theme is twentyfourteen (with modifications). I already
   got a plugin to modify it. But.
 * My next problem is the following:
    I can’t adjust the Theme. When i go Themes-
   > Adjust (or smth in english) where you can individualize Title, Colours, Background
   Pic… i do see these options but i can’t select them (when i click an entry no
   further options pop up, everything stays the same is if all options were disabled).

 * Who modified this theme? What happens if you use the unedited 2014 theme?

 * Well the customer wants to edit the theme eventually.

 * Do not edit the Twenty Fourteen theme. It is the current default WordPress theme
   and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many
   situations. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
   Or install a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css).
