Comet – Creative Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme Overview
Comet is a multipurpose theme built on Bootstrap 3 and the page builder then sold as Visual Composer, now WPBakery. Its listing is usefully specific about eight demo concepts: an agency, a restaurant, architecture, a resume, photography, fitness, a model agency and a landing page, spread across seventeen or more home versions that work as one long page or a multi-page site.
The construction is of its period and competent. Portfolio layouts come boxed or wide with category filters, there are ten or more blog styles, and the motion comes from parallax sections, a Ken Burns slider and an animated canvas. Video backgrounds accept YouTube or HTML5 sources with a still fallback on mobile, colour runs through the included LESS file, and WooCommerce has a matching Ajax cart.
The important context is maintenance. The newest entry in the update log is dated May 2019 and the marketplace records no later release, so a buyer is choosing a design rather than a maintained platform. That decision belongs before any work begins.

Who Comet – Creative Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
The concept list points at creative studios, restaurants, architecture practices, independent trainers, photographers and personal resume sites. For a Canadian owner who likes one of those eight designs and wants a brochure site with a filtered portfolio and a blog, the layouts do the job, and the one-page option suits a small practice.
Anyone needing current platform compatibility, the block editor or a maintained shop should look at a newer theme, as should a business expecting new functions from plugins this theme has never been tested against.
Important Notes About Comet – Creative Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme
The declared ceilings sit at WordPress 4.9.x and WooCommerce 3.1.x, both many releases behind current, and the last entry is May 2019. That entry records a fix for WordPress 5.1, above the declared ceiling, so the two sources already disagree. Bootstrap 3 and LESS date the front end, the block editor is unsupported, and the packaged stylesheet names the theme Comet WP by HodyLab while the item is sold under a different account name. AppiAppi would test it on current WordPress and PHP first, and would not run a shop on it.
One demo is a model agency, which raises rights the owner must settle. Commercial use of recognisable people needs model releases, and Quebec recognises a distinct right to one’s own image. The demo photography is not licensed to the buyer. AppiAppi offers no legal guidance.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
AppiAppi starts with a compatibility assessment: which WordPress and PHP versions the theme tolerates, what breaks, and whether the plan is viable. If it is, we import the chosen concept, replace the demo content with the owner’s photographs, services, menu or project list, set the colour scheme through the stylesheet and configure the forms.
We then compress the imagery, limit the parallax and canvas animation, and write real headings and alt text into the project pages. Ongoing management covers WordPress and plugin updates, security monitoring on a theme that no longer receives its own, content changes, AI-assisted SEO support and answering enquiries, to the plan.
