Hire Zakra Developers

Zakra is a free multipurpose WordPress theme with over 80,000 active installations, known for its Elementor compatibility, AMP support, and starter template library. Developer help is needed when its defaults require customisation beyond the theme options, when child theme work is needed, or for WooCommerce and performance configuration.

What Does a Zakra Developer Do?

Zakra is a free WordPress theme developed by ThemeGrill with over 80,000 active installations. It is a multipurpose theme optimised for Elementor with a large starter site library covering business, portfolio, e-commerce, and niche site types. Zakra includes built-in AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) support, making it an option for publishers who want AMP compatibility alongside Elementor flexibility.

Zakra Pro is a premium upgrade that adds advanced customiser options, additional starter sites, WooCommerce-specific styling controls, white label options, and additional footer layout options. The free version is capable enough for most sites with Elementor handling the page design.

Zakra’s adoption is driven by its free availability, Elementor compatibility, and AMP support – a combination few other free themes offer simultaneously. Developer work on Zakra sites covers the standard pattern: child theme setup, CSS customisation, WooCommerce configuration, and performance optimisation.

When Do You Need a Zakra Specialist?

Zakra developer work typically involves:

  • Child theme setup and CSS customisation for brand-specific styling.
  • Starter template import and brand adaptation.
  • Elementor page building within the Zakra framework.
  • WooCommerce configuration with Zakra Pro – product page and shop archive styling.
  • AMP configuration – ensuring Zakra’s AMP templates display correctly.
  • Performance optimisation – Zakra is lightweight by default; fine-tuning for maximum Core Web Vitals scores.

What to Look for in a Zakra Developer

Zakra work is primarily Elementor work within a lightweight theme framework. Look for developers with strong Elementor experience. Zakra-specific knowledge covers the customiser options, child theme structure, and AMP configuration if AMP is in use.

For AMP projects, ask specifically about their experience with Zakra’s AMP integration. AMP requires specific configuration and testing to ensure the AMP version of pages displays correctly and validates without errors.

Common Zakra Problems a Developer Can Fix

Common Zakra problems:

  • AMP pages not validating – a plugin or Elementor widget is outputting non-AMP-compatible JavaScript or CSS on the AMP version. Use the AMP plugin’s validation tool to identify the specific incompatibility.
  • Zakra WooCommerce pages unstyled – Zakra Pro is needed for full WooCommerce styling. Without Pro, basic WooCommerce styles apply but do not fully match the Zakra design.
  • Custom CSS overriding Elementor styles – Zakra’s global CSS is conflicting with Elementor’s inline styles. Use more specific CSS selectors or target overrides in Elementor’s custom CSS on the specific widget.

Zakra Maintenance & Ongoing Work

Zakra and Zakra Pro update through the WordPress update system. ThemeGrill releases regular updates for WordPress and Elementor compatibility. The free Zakra Core plugin (required for some Zakra features) should be updated alongside the theme. Child theme customisations are safe through updates.

How to Get Help With Zakra

Specify whether you have Zakra free or Zakra Pro, which page builder is in use, and whether AMP is enabled. Describe the specific customisation or problem. Zakra projects are typically Elementor projects – specifying your Elementor version helps scope the work.
