When it comes to grabbing the attention of a visitor, visual appeal is your number one tactic. With WordPress, this is acomplished by using Themes.
A WordPress developer works with different themes to create the perfect appearance for a blog or website. If you are planning on launching your own WordPress website, here are a few guidelines on choosing a good theme.
Most WordPress themes fall into one of three categories and which one you choose depends on the specific requirements you have for your site.
When deciding the type of theme you want it is best to identify what is most important to you. Themes of the free and premium variety are easy to set up but that means a lot of people in your niche are going to be using them too. Also design and functionality are mostly very general (in order to be suitable for a wide range of users) which means it can look a bit bland or generic.
If you want to stand out from the crowd, it makes sense to spend a little more money and go with a custom theme. You may not have the time or the ability to do the designing yourself. The solution – speak to a WordPress developer with experience in creating professional-looking custom designed WordPress websites.
