YOOtheme

One builder for two content management systems is the idea behind YOOtheme Pro, the main product of the Hamburg company YOOtheme GmbH. Designers and developers can build sites on either Joomla or WordPress with the same workflow, and the company presents this platform freedom as a reason to choose it, along with freedom from the lock-in of hosted website builders, since the site and its data stay on the owner's own hosting.

Starter websites instead of blank pages

The site pushes the idea of starting from a real website. YOOtheme sells Joomla templates and WordPress themes that arrive as complete sites with a considered content structure and custom fields, which it says saves about 80 percent of the work. The company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

A builder covering header to shop

The feature list runs from a site builder for headers, footers, dynamic templates, mega menus and live search, to a drag and drop page builder with sliders, grids and galleries, and a style editor for colours, spacing and typography. Dynamic content loads posts, taxonomies and custom fields into any element. For WordPress shops, the builder supports WooCommerce products anywhere on a page. The company also names performance with responsive images and lazy loading, accessibility with keyboard navigation and ARIA support, and privacy tools such as a consent manager and locally loaded Google Fonts. A starter plugin, changelog and feature request board serve developers, and community extensions integrate shop systems, forms and translation tools.

Other products and a version 5.0.53 fix

Beyond the builder, YOOtheme publishes Widgetkit for galleries and sliders, ZOO for Joomla as a content builder, and the open source front-end framework UIkit. Version 5.0.53 of YOOtheme Pro, released on 21 October 2026, fixed a security flaw.
