You just need to buy a professional theme and install it on your site. WordPress CMS is even easier and most of the themes are available for free. Even you can make a News website by using a FREE WordPress theme.
But when you are using free themes and free plugins, you are somewhere compromising on the performance of the site. In free themes and plugins, you might have some limitations on the features, and sometimes, if not from a renowned company you might be compromising on the security of the website.
So, we recommend using a custom website design even if you are using a CMS like WordPress or any other. You can easily find affordable web design services around you that will be helpful in providing a feature-rich website without compromising on security.
