It’s time! You’ve completed the groundwork of obtaining affordable WordPress hosting that includes support, backups, and WordPress preinstalled, you’ve learned about some of the wonderful features of WordPress, and you’re finally ready to start building your new website. So, the first thing you have to decide is which theme to choose.
There are literally thousands of WordPress themes, templates and page builders available these days and it can be easy to get a little overwhelmed at the number of choices. As always, at BionicWP we are committed to bringing you the best service, support, and resources available for and about WordPress. So today we are breaking down a few of the most popular free theme choices available and what you should consider in the process.
5 Factors to Consider
- Features – Does the theme include the features that you want/need for your WordPress website? Does it support that specific plugin that your site must have? Does it even have e-commerce support? This must be your number one factor to consider when selecting your theme.
- Customization – If customizing the theme isn’t an option or customization isn’t simple, it can be quite frustrating to encounter a struggle every time you try to edit or tweak your website.
- Content – You have to have a good general idea of your website’s initial “size” before deciding on a theme. If it’s going to be an e-commerce site with plenty of pages or it will be a basic information and social media tool, it will have an impact on your choice of available themes.
- SEO – Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an important aspect of your new WordPress website, and it even includes your choice of theme. When looking at themes, watch for those descriptions that say they are “SEO Optimized” or “SEO ready.”
- Security – This is a must! Take the time to read customer reviews to see what is said about the security of the theme. A theme with a bad track record on security is one you definitely want to stay away from.
