Learning bootstrap can help you customize menu and page layouts easily
"Added features" are usually offered by the community through plugins, hiring someone to code plugins can be expensive - also learning basic php can only help you scratch the surface of the craft.
What you can do is buy templates that are editable using the Visual Composer plugin, you can also buy the plugin for premium features.
If you're looking to build informative website projects, i recommend the Divi page builder (not going to advertise but the authors of this builder have many other useful wordpress plugins you can buy for cheap - google is your friend)

It seems I mis-presented what I needed.
Yes, I buy templates, but many times, I need to do changes in it (change menu, add features, etc.)
Yup, I have time and it is worth the money :)
Thanx
ewj wrotejoem wroteHello Mr. Class,
I don't know PHP nor Apache server while I have a computer science degree (1994). ;)
I have 2 Wordpress developers whom I pay for developing WordPress themes I buy for my clients.
but sometimes, I have people whom I want to provide a website for free therefore I thought that after I buy the theme, I can learn WordPress myself to do so.
I found many tutorials online.. but I thought learning it directly from a developer and having support from tutorials would be faster.
Thnx[/quote
Well if you buy templates, what exactly do you need to develop ? When buying a template, you can simply deploy it on wordpress and it will work out of the box...
Yet, I know it's off topic, but why do you think the time you'll spend on that is worth less than the money you pay your developers to do that job (to the extent that you want to offer that for free) ?
