Top 5 Perfect Website WordPress Themes

Don’t risk using anything less than perfect

What is the perfect website theme?  WordPress websites require a theme to give it the style you want for your website. Most theme’s allow you to modify the font, the colors, page layout, navigation and many other features we don’t really think a whole lot about. To WordPress, a theme is a lot like the choice of paint, interior comforts, features and special equipment is to the body of car. It gives the website its look and feel without changing its core functionality.

Whether you are a website do-it-yourselfer or your developer has asked you to choose a theme for your new website, the efficacy and success of your website is fundamentally dependent on the quality of your theme.

There are thousands of theme choices for you to download. The WordPress Themes Directory is a truly fantastic resource, offering an extensive selection of free and premium themes for any kind of website. Apart from the official directory, there are many sites that also offer high quality themes like ThemeForest, Template Monster, ModernThemes, and so many more.

Your WordPress theme can make or break your online presence – literally. It is crucial to choose the theme that is absolutely right for your business. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as it sounds. With all the different themes available for you to choose from, it can be quite the process to pinpoint the optimum one.

Choosing the Perfect Website Theme for Your Business

Finding the right theme for your business website can be intimidating and overwhelming. There are so many options that even web solutions companies must spend time evaluating the theme that provides the best of what they need.

If you are choosing your own theme or you are a website do-it-yourselfer, be sure to choose one of the five themes we’ve listed here. You’ll be very glad you did. You can rest assured that these themes are written well, the code is updated frequently and these themes evolve in real-time to provide you with the latest features. We recently wrote this article about how to choose a high-quality theme. It picks up where this one leaves off.

We don’t receive any kickbacks or commissions for our recommendations. Choosing the wrong theme will cost you thousands of dollars and likely hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost business opportunities. Many of our clients come to us because they previously chose a theme that eventually broke their website, included code, or the theme was coded improperly and prevented them from achieving high search engine ratings or the developers stopped updating it.

Choosing a good theme is very important for so many reasons.

We hope you find the perfect theme for your WordPress website. If you are unsure and would like a complimentary consultation to help you find the theme that provides exactly what you need, give us a call or shoot us an email.  You’ll be glad you did!
