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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"8 Things to Consider Before Choosing a WordPress Theme\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vG5qXJmvvUs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Not satisfied? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/wp-themes\/selecting-the-perfect-theme-for-wordpress\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/wp-themes\/selecting-the-perfect-theme-for-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here<\/a> is an article discussing more considerations to take into account with WordPress themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/wcet.waketech.edu\/daocampo\/WEB250\/wordpress\/\">Return Home<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social wp-block-coblocks-social-profiles is-style-circular has-button-size-med\" ><ul><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-small-font-size\">Daniel Ocampo is a professional web developer from Durham, North Carolina.
