It can be tempting when shopping around for a new WordPress theme – to get the biggest theme which offers 10 sliders, 99 home pages and 14 page builders (ok a small exaggeration there) , however its almost all cases, opting for the next big behemoth will prove to be much more of a headache than it should be. Today;s post aims to go through the reasons you should choose a theme to compliment the size and scale of the site your trying to create.
Gauging What You Actually Need
This can seem like the trickiest part, but ensuring you have a clear idea in your mind about what exactly you want your site to offer and how to wish to display it will prove to be the most valuable task we look at today.
For this to work, and to avoid ending up with a bloated mess of a site, you must be totally honest with yourself. If your thinking of starting a small blog to share your musings or such, then an all-encompassing multi-purpose theme will not only pose a risk to your sites performance, but also hinder your creativity by over-complicating the beautiful blogging experience WordPress offers with page builders and such.
The same can be said for the other end of the spectrum – if your looking at creating a huge only presence, with several distinctive page styles etc (such as various landing pages etc) then you will be better served picking the most complete package rather than trying to force a load of extra functionality into the theme via plugins or custom coding.
The key here is honestly with yourself, and research.
Finding Themes for Your Niche
