WordPress is an amazing piece of software used and preferred by many around the world. You can either use a free theme or buy a professional looking WordPress theme. But before you do so here are some tips on how to choose that perfect theme for your WordPress site or blog.
There is no doubt that content in terms of originality and quality is the most important fuel that keeps a blog or the website rolling. Apart from quality content there are 3 important aspects that one should look when selecting a WordPress theme.
1. Design and Navigation
Choose a theme that provides easy access to different section and pages to your site. In simple words the theme should have user friendly navigation feature so with fewer clicks users can get what they are looking for.
Design is important if your site is appealing people will often visit it. Make sure the site is simple and not loaded with too much graphics as that will slow down the page loading and users do not like waiting for page to be loaded.
2. Speed
Though most of the WordPress themes can easily pass this test adding extra widgets and javascripts may slow down the site. The best option would be to choose a theme that does not make use of too many JavaScript’s and on screen effects.
3. SEO Friendly
This is really important a theme has to be SEO friendly. Just in case you find a theme that does not have this SEO abilities build in, you can always make use of SEO plugins that can make the site SEO compatible.
Most of the WordPress themes will satisfy the above condition but you may have to look out at the SEO aspect.
Free WordPress themes are good but investing in a paid theme will help you a lot. Gogi.in is using a paid theme called Thesis. Thesis WordPress theme is used by over 35 thousand people.
