There are some considerations to keep in mind though. There is a <strong><em>difference<\/em><\/strong> between free and premium themes. If you choose a premium theme, be aware that you&#8217;re limited in customization. Unless you purchase it. And in that case, if you do, make sure it&#8217;s a theme that is worth the money. If you end up opting for a free theme, then make sure it&#8217;s a theme that lets you customize more than just color and fonts. Another thing to keep in mind is to make sure your theme is responsive. You do not want a site that only works on desktop when almost all of the world uses some type of smartphone\/tablet. To add onto that, you need to also keep an eye on updates from the theme developer. If something breaks and you fail to update your site, you are going to have a lot of unhappy users.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For a more visual understanding of WordPress Themes, Stewart Gauld goes in depth about how to choose the best theme for you. <\/h4>\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 title=\"What is a WordPress Theme? | Best WordPress Theme for Business (Beginners Guide)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0tt_JxQr_ds?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<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Still stuck?
