Faced with the multitude of themes offered by WordPress, it is difficult to choose the one that perfectly matches your website. There are thousands of free and paid options and each WordPress store theme is more beautiful than the other. Here are 7 tips that will help you choose the best WordPress theme for your website.
Do not rush
WordPress is used to create all kinds of websites. That’s why each WordPress store theme is for a different market. Your WordPress theme should complement the content of your website. For example, if you are launching a blog on political or social issues, you will opt for a theme that improves readability. Before choosing your WordPress theme, know that many ones come with tons of customization options.
If they are not coded correctly, these options may prevent you from changing themes or using some WordPress plugins. You will be locked into this theme or will have to pay a developer to help you change. Some WordPress themes that look really good can actually make your website incredibly slow, which nobody likes, especially Google, which prefers faster websites. Your theme is the face of your WordPress website and plays an important role in the way users and search engines perceive it.
Opt for a simple and effective WordPress store theme
A WordPress store them should avoid offering colorful schemes, complex layouts and flashy animations. Instead, take simplicity as your motto. Look for a theme whose layout matches your goal. It must be aesthetic and easy to use.
The objective is to help users find the information they need easily. If a theme is beautiful but does not help you get new customers or subscribers, or it makes your users in trouble navigating your website, then this is not a good theme.
Choose a suitable WordPress theme for all screens
There are responsive themes that adjust their layout according to the size of the screen and the device. Today, much of the web traffic is generated from mobile devices or tablets. Depending on the topics on your website, this number could even exceed 50% of your traffic. Google prefers to rank mobile-friendly websites at the top of its rankings. It is therefore essential that your website is readable on all screens. Most WordPress themes are already responsive by default, but there are still developers selling fixed-width layouts that are not geared to mobility at all.
How do I know if a WordPress theme is mobile-friendly? The easiest way to test whether a theme is responsive or not is to resize your browser screen, after which you will notice whether or not the theme layout fits the width of the screen. For a more in-depth test, you can copy the URL of the theme demo page and paste it into Google’s Mobile Friendly test page.
Choose a suitable WordPress theme for all web browsers
Your users will be having different browsers. Your theme may look perfect on the browser you are using, but some bugs may appear with other browsers. This is where compatibility comes in. Most WordPress theme developers rigorously test their themes using sophisticated browser compatibility testing tools.
They can clearly mention it on their website, but if that’s not the case, you can still do some basic tests to check the theme on different browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. Do not forget to test on different mobile browsers too!
Select a WordPress theme that supports essential plug-ins
The real power of WordPress comes from its plugins. They allow you to do anything with your WordPress website. If there are specific plugins, some are essential for all websites.
For example: Gravity Forms, SEO Yoast, W3 Total Cache … Make sure your WordPress theme supports these popular plugins. If you are not sure, ask the developer of the theme!
Adopt a WordPress theme that allows for better SEO
Your WordPress theme plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website. A beautiful theme can still generate poorly coded HTML, which can affect the performance of your website. It can be difficult for beginners to analyze the source code of a WordPress store theme. That’s why many developers of premium WordPress themes will let you know that their pages are optimized for SEO.
You can also take a look to see if the page generates the correct HTML5 by checking it with the W3C Markup Validation service. However, please note that the W3C tool will generate many warnings that are not to be feared.
Look for a WordPress theme with support options
One of the disadvantages regarding free WordPress themes is that there is no guaranteed support. Although some developers provide excellent support for their free themes, many ones do not have a support option.
If you have problems installing your WordPress theme, you will have to solve them yourself or hire the talents of a developer. Make sure you select a WordPress theme with good documentation and a support option. Most premium WordPress themes offer detailed documentation with 1 year of email support.
We hope this article will help you choose the perfect WordPress store theme for your WordPress website. If you still face difficulties, do not hesitate to contact us!

This design is spectacular! You obviously know how
to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
(well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what
you had to say, and more than that, how you presented
it. Too cool!

I’m really impressed with your writing skills as
well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a
great blog like this one these days.

Very good – and I also specifically address people by name and speak to them directly, leaving general comments at the bottom of my comment section. I also reply to *each* person, even if it’s just to say thanks.
Gotcha on the format. But considering that people need to be hooked right from the start in a split second, how would you start with your conclusion and grab that interest? Dare you to write a post…

That is a great point. YES. I’ve noticed men are direct and post a comment that states their opinion (usually firmly). They don’t ask questions. They tell it like it is. I think women tend to encourage or express emotions of how they felt in a similar situation (don’t piss them off, though).
I think they do admire the poster (not speaking of me, here). Maybe many women have a hard time with self-esteem and wish they could be that person or say something so influential?

Does this have an influence on how we write? No. We tend to shoot from the hip – though I have been known to ask Harry to double-check posts for sensitive matter or controversy. Setting your own blog on fire isn’t recommended, though I can say it does get a *ton* of comments.
Alright, here’s an exercise for everyone. How would you have finished this conclusion from my post creating flagship contentso that it attracted more comments?

“Maybe it’s time to craft a new flag for your ship. Be different. Be confident and command respect. Take the time to think and research. Try to predict trends or see into the future. Trust yourself enough to take your ideas and turn them into reality. Believe in yourself and your ability to lead the fleet, not just to follow the other ships.”
I guess if you can get Brian in here to comment three times you can get me to do it once.
