I use Thrive themes products and I’m thrilled. So I’m doing this FocusBlog theme Review based on my experience and excitement.
I don’t have anything against using free tools but I think more serious things are gotten with premium tools. That’s why I strongly recommend investing in tools that will position your blog for growth.
Earlier this year, I bought Thrive Content Builder. Next, I shifted my blog to managed WordPress Hosting with free SSL certificate from Traffic Planet Hosting.
Then I invested on Social Warfare. This helps me recover all social share counts I lost as a result of the shift from http to https. And now, I just purchased FocusBlog theme from Thrive.

I have used Genesis since 2012 and I still strongly recommend it. But there comes a time in a man’s life when change is inevitable. Of course, change is the only thing that’s constant.
Thrive Themes FocusBlog theme Review
I admit the WordPress theme industry is made up of wonderful, eye candy, fast loading and SEO friendly themes. But my choice right this moment is FocusBlog theme from the guys at Thrive. They have a collection of awesome themes so you will certainly find your taste.
FocusBlog theme is beautiful
One of the factors that make the attractiveness of a blog is its visual beauty. Be sincere to yourself and tell me what you think about the look of my blog after this change. It was not previously ugly though. But I think what I have now is more attractive.
The theme is built for Speed
While website load time is a known SEO factor, no human reader would like to spend minutes waiting for your site to load. People generally are busy so they prefer something that respects that nature.
FocusBlog Theme code has been optimized to keep it as light as possible and a couple of speed-boosting features were added as well.
FocusBlog theme is SEO friendly
The theme is built following SEO best practices, so your site is well-optimized and SEO ready out of the box. It’s fully compatible with all popular SEO plugins so you won’t have to worry about running your SEO tools.
FocusBlog Template is responsive
Theme responsiveness is another SEO factor. FocusBlog is 100% mobile friendly, giving your blog great look on any device & screen size.

ThriveShortcodes
One of the things that got me more hooked to FocusBlog theme are the shortcodes and the way they are managed. These allow you add beautiful and engaging elements to your blog with a simple click.
Thrive Opt-in
List building is no doubt a highly recommended online business exercise. Your list is your marketplace and a sure source of targeted traffic.
You will need list building elements on your blog to easily convert readers to subscribers. Thrive Opt-in feature allows you to display targeted opt-in forms on your site & connect to your autoresponder

Thrive Columns
Traditionally, WordPress editor won’t allow you design columns in your articles. The only way out has been through plugins. To avoid additional plugins, get Thrive Themes:
Thrive Focus Areas
This is a unique feature and a strong attraction. If you do promote any products as author or affiliate, the Focus Areas feature is something you want to rush for.
This will allow you create boxes to place on your blog and attract attention. There are actually 3 focus areas:
- Above post content

The Focus Area is so flexible so you can add anything including images, videos, optin-forms, etc. You may want to use it to attach a promotion to any blog post or posts in specific categories.
Menu item highlight
This is an exciting marketing feature that lets you highlight a link in your site’s header navigation. This looks subtle, but it can make a big difference to your site.
The highlight feature allows you to turn any link on your top menu to a beautifully attractive button.
