5,395 PointsAny theme is customizable but it depends on your comfort lever with PHP and Wordpress theme development.
If you want a Premium, pre-built, theme that allows you to have control over the look and feel of the site within the context of it's original framework then most Theme Forrest themes will allow you to do this.
My suggestion is if you're looking for a basic theme that allows you to customize it's look and feel pretty heavily from within the Wordpress dashboard then look at a theme called Divi.
Good luck!

9,827 PointsBecause WP is open source you can get at, and change almost anything. But the strong rule is to leave the WordPress core files alone and do what you like with your themes (the outer layers as it were). That's a beautiful example and uses Revolution Slider on the front end - it should be very adaptable - you shouldn't need to mess with its structure to get what you want. If you did however, best approach is to make a child theme and do any big changes in that ... then, if/when the theme gets an update, you won't have to remake all your changes from scratch.
