We have some professional Web designers working for us at USA SEO Pros, but we realize a lot of people aren’t as savvy. For a good chunk of the population, a free theme might be good enough for their Web site.
There are many different ways to build a personal Web site, and it’s important to think about why you’re doing it before you begin. From creating a personal blog to creating a themed portfolio site, there are plenty of different themes to choose from. But how do you know you are getting the right theme from a design, as well as a functionality point of view? As a professional in the Web design field, I am here to give you some examples of what you should look for in a blog theme or a personal portfolio theme, depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.
I decided to do a little investigating on this since I was looking for a theme for a new site of mine as well. The thing is, I came across a lot of themes that had flaws in design and functionality. This got me thinking that other may be encountering the same problem.
Instead of harping on the negative, I feel I should give you a little direction into choosing some of the themes I have found out there that could work. Now, the problem is not a lot of people know what to look for when choosing a theme.
Here is a short list of free Wordpress themes I found to be useful to use in some specific endeavors:
1. Soul Vision - A very good looking theme that catches the eye, has a large RSS icon and two sidebars to fill up with extra content.
2. Remedy -For a Web site that has a lot of different kinds of content to include. This theme allows for great organization of material.
3. Arena Deluxe -A very professional-looking theme that could work for a variety of different businesses.
4. Recipe for Entrepreneur -Interesting colors that could work for a gaming blog or something else fun. There are also designated places for ads.
5. The Relief in Music -A nice place for ads right at the top, and a theme that could definitely attract musicians or music lovers to a site.
While these themes may not work for everyone, depending on your field, they may be worth giving a try. Every theme offers different things to the user, and it’s up to you to figure out what works best for you.
A couple of rules to keep in mind: keep it simple, only pick a couple for colors, and make sure it’s something you wouldn’t mind looking at yourself.
