What To Look For In A Free WordPress Theme
With free themes, what you see is what you get! You’ll want to look at the layout (2 or 3 columns, sidebar options, page options), the features (image sliders, adsense ready, etc.), the fonts, and the colors. You’ll be adding your own content and images but without customization, the theme you choose is what you get so make sure you like it just the way it is!
Premium WordPress Themes
There are so many talented designers that offer Premium WordPress Themes!
Here are the theme frameworks and designs I’ve used and recommend — they each offer different features and options and they’re all great — so pick one you like and you’ll be off to a great start!
StudioPress Themes for WordPress: Great selection of “child themes” to go with a well optimized framework. These are my favorite to work with and included in my Premium WordPress Installation Package.
Thesis by DIYThemes.com: This is great for the SoloPreneur and individual blogger!
WooThemes.com: WooThemes offers all kinds of unique designs.
ElegantThemes.com: ElegantThemes offers a great WordPress Gallery of, as the title indicates, elegant themes!
What To Look For In A PREMIUM WordPress Theme
Features! Most Premium themes have search engine optimization features built-in, so the kinds of features that each offer, and of the course the style and look of each theme, are what you’re really looking at to determine what you want. You can change the fonts, colors and layouts relatively easy with Premium themes so it’s the the extra features that you’ll want to review when looking for a great Premium Theme!
