  Hi @thespiritualdwelling

  Installing third-party themes is available for Business users, please check this link for a comparison between available plans, and costs.

  After upgrading to Business plan, I would highly recommend reaching out to WordPress support for help – they can guide you and better assist in every step of the way :)

  Check this link for more on uploading third-party themes into WordPress.com.

  Cheers!

  Thanks @davipontesblog,
  Business plan is too expensive for what I need. The theme I chose is very simple, just some images and a text.

  How can I make a simple website without having to upgrade do Business plan? Where do I look for other as simple themes like this one?

  Thank you

  Hi there, hope you don’t mind me jumping in here.

  https://wordpress.com/themes/ is a good place to start.

  You can use the feature filters on that page to narrow down the selection. Here’s a selection of “minimal” style themes https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/minimal

  Any Premium theme in our showcase that you buy under the Free or Personal plan is a one-time purchase and is licensed for the life of your site here on WordPressdotcom.

  Let us know if you need anything else.
