@ Tanjeria, The power of Elgg Engine gives you freedom to build any theme possible on Earth.
First, what type of business do you want to use elgg with. For example you can build a shop, Church community, Law farm site, Construction, Daycare, Veterinarian, Charity, Health Care, Technology, Wedding, Resume, Photography, Classic Shop or Modern Shop, Landing Product, Gym, Café, Tech, Hosting, Architecture, Hotel, Lifestyle, Travel, Agency, Dating, Fashion site and the list goes on and on.
First identify the niche of market you would like to serve, build, or target then you can decide what kind of theme will likely serve your customers better. This is why Facebook has realized too late that most people even though they are on Facebook, they are still longing to belong to certain communities outside Facebook main site and that why Elgg based sites are likely to grow in coming years.
The themes that are here on Elgg community are just a starting point for a new web designers. You can hire a theme developer on Elgg community to design a unique theme for your site.
PM me your budget
What PHP version does your server run? Elgg requires 5.6
Thank you! I realized that the server was running a lower version after a few tries. I changed it to 5.6 and then it suddenly worked. However the server is not the best, it was extremely slow, site failed to load after changes etc. So I uninstalled it again, need to wait with that until I could change to a new hosting service.
In the meantime I am testing it further on my computer with localhost! :)
Tangjeria, you may want to look here at impact for either unmanaged VPS or shared hosting. I have found them to be the best and cheapest for either and they have elgg 2.3.3 in their script panel on shared. You can ticket/email them for advice on which type/account level will serve you better. If I shouldn't post this then please delete it but I am just trying to help, for a good host is important.
