WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems out there today. I love it because it is so versatile and yet easy to learn and pick up. You can choose the depth you need to go into depending on your need. Are you a small business owner in a hurry to put up your own website to advertise your business? WordPress is the answer. Or are you into handmade jewelry that you want to sell in your own online store? That is a breeze too with WordPress. Whatever your goal, it is very easy to get started with WordPress.
What is a WordPress Theme?
One of the main components of WordPress is a theme. A theme is like a house. It has its own design and features, and it also lets you add features to it. When you buy a house or rent an apartment, there are some things like the floor plan, lighting, fixtures, and appliances etc. that come with it. And then you decorate a bit, painting according to choice or adding pictures etc. But you chose that particular house because you liked the basic underlying structure and look and feel. You definitely are not looking to start building the house from scratch.
A WordPress theme is pretty similar. There are thousands of themes out there - some are free for use, and some you have to pay a pretty penny for. But there is a lot to choose even among the free themes. You can search for these themes based on your business category - food or restaurant, realty, eStore, Blog, Magazine etc. When you choose a theme that has been made for your niche (several are), you have chosen something that satisfies your needs about 70-80%. Sort of like your house. And the rest can easily be obtained by decorating or enhancing the theme.
Some of the enhancements you can add or change are headers, background colors, social media features etc. It is necessary to apply a good design sense because there is no limit to the various frills you can add. But you need to maintain a clear vision and choose only what is good for your business. Just as in life, clutter on your website can also be distracting.
The easiest way to discover some good free themes is search for terms like 'best WordPress theme', 'free theme', 'best restaurant theme', 'WordPress theme for estore' etc. I am sure you get the idea. Once you install a theme you like, you have taken an important step toward completing your website.
