Considerations when selecting a WordPress Theme


When choosing a WordPress theme, it is important to consider the tone you want for your website.

WordPress themes act as a template design for users to build off and add personality to their websites. WordPress themes already organize the content and functionality of your site so you may focus on the overall design of the site. Many things I consider when choosing a theme are things such as the look and feel of a site, the distinction between the desktop and mobile site, and the overall performance of your site under the theme. Considering all these things will ensure that your site has the right look for your business and the functionality that won’t drive away visitors. I chose this theme specifically because I like to go for a modern design in my websites, minimal color scheme with sleek text font and layout.

There are so many more things to consider when choosing a WordPress theme, way too many to cover in this small post. Below you will find a video of 8 more considerations when choosing a theme for your WordPress site.
