Title: Identifying Theme Template Or Plugin? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Identifying Theme Template Or Plugin? * [ProfileX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profilex/) * (@profilex) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/) * Hello eVeryonE 😉 * I’m looking for a theme/template or plugin (not sure which one) that provides the look/layout and functionality of the linked site below. * I want to build a site that can store the same type of information in a database about a similar product with look and feel as this site. * Also I see when you look at the product detail, it also show you below related products to search further * [http://www.associatedforklifts.com.au/electric-forklifts/](http://www.associatedforklifts.com.au/electric-forklifts/) [http://www.associatedforklifts.com.au/electric-forklifts/s788/](http://www.associatedforklifts.com.au/electric-forklifts/s788/) * In addition would like to incorporate drop down menus and especially be a responsive site which this one I see is not. * Many thanks for your help and appreciate any help as new to wordpress, hence my first post. * Thankyou Nikita Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [ProfileX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profilex/) * (@profilex) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115668) * No replies since I first posted ;( * Have I asked the wrong question or has it been posted in the wrong section? * appreciate any responses * [.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/techievous/) * (@techievous) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115669) * You can see the information about the theme and its author in the theme’s style. css file: [http://www.associatedforklifts.com.au/wp/wp-content/themes/eleven/style.css](http://www.associatedforklifts.com.au/wp/wp-content/themes/eleven/style.css) * You’ll find this: * ``` /* Theme Name: Associated Forklifts Theme URI: http://www.elevenmedia.com.au Description: WordPress theme Author: Eleven Media Author URI: http://www.elevenmedia.com.au Version: 2013 */ ``` * It appears the theme is custom-built by Eleven Media, a web development agency based in Australia. * —— * It’s not that complex either. If you have a few hundred dollars on hand, any professional WordPress developer will be able to give you a similar theme–even better, actually. * Thread Starter [ProfileX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profilex/) * (@profilex) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115670) * Thanks Techievous. * Do you know of any paid prebuilt themes I could purchase that has that functionality and customise from there.? * Is this whats called a CMS? so the theme uses database for retrieve details about the products and associated pictures. * Also can I add responsive feature (for phones/tablets) to a wordpress site or does that have to be part of the theme I choose? * [.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/techievous/) * (@techievous) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115671) * > Do you know of any paid prebuilt themes I could purchase that has that functionality > and customise from there? * I don’t think I can recommend such themes because that could be consider as advertising, which would get me banned from this site. * But most likely you’ll need more than just a theme. You’ll need: - WordPress as the CMS, - a WordPress theme (preferrable one that support e-commerce plugins), - an e-commerce plugin (such as WooCommerce), - a few other WordPress plugins to ensure speed and extra functionalities (such as checkout gateways, handling the minify process, cache, etc.) * > Is this whats called a CMS? so the theme uses database for retrieve details > about the products and associated pictures. * WordPress is the CMS, not the theme. But you get the other general idea right. * > Also can I add responsive feature (for phones/tablets) to a wordpress site > or does that have to be part of the theme I choose? * Nowadays responsiveness is built-in for almost every good themes; it is the current standard. But if the theme lack that feature, you can add a separate mobile layout via a redirect setup or a plugin. * Thread Starter [ProfileX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profilex/) * (@profilex) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115682) * Starting to make sense now ;(s little anyway but enjoying the learning tks 😉 * So if I’m not to build a theme which accesses a database, with tables and all, am I going to be limited by how the product data as is site above would be displayed on my site. * What would I search for when searching for this type of theme with functionality as above * btw. I wouldn’t need to sell anything, just layout as site shows above with price field but not checkout, gateway, etc * Out of curiosity what does it take to create a theme with this functionality, is there a youtube video that comes close to creating one step by step? * much appreciate your advice as getting started always seems the hardest part. * Thanks again Nikita * [.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/techievous/) * (@techievous) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115685) * > So if I’m not to build a theme which accesses a database, with tables and all, > am I going to be limited by how the product data as is site above would be > displayed on my site. * As mentioned earlier, WordPress is the CMS. Your theme does interact with the database with PHP and the likes, but it’s not the CMS. * > what does it take to create a theme with this functionality, * If you’re asking what knowledge, then you would need to know HTML, CSS, javascript, PHP at the very least. * If you mean the time, then developing from scratch would be about 2 to 3 weeks( that’s for an experienced developer, obviously it would be faster if there’s a team working on it or slower for someone who’s new); If we use a template then customize it to the needs, then it’s about a week or so. * If you mean the cost to hire someone or agency, then it could be anywhere from $20-$40 per hour to a few hundreds dollars per hour. The flat rate could be anything around $800 to a few thousands dollars. * > is there a youtube video that comes close to creating one step by step? * I’m sorry to say but unless the person is exceptionally talented, no one is going to be able to just code a WordPress theme without any prior experience or knowledge in web development. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/identifying-theme-template-or-plugin/#post-5115686) * By the way even if you do everything right when you create a thread, even if you provide the best information you can for volunteers here, there’s no guarantee your thread will be answered or resolved.
