Wordpress is Perfect!


 For anyone that’s in need of a website and doesn’t have the big bucks to get a web designer for a fancy website, Wordpress is perfect for you. Wordpress is very easy to use and highly customizable. If you’re indecisive like I can be at times, you’ll love the fact that you can adjust the theme or the outward appearance of the website.

The theme controls everything including the colors of the words, the fonts they are in, the width of your content columns, the page background, the header, the spacing between letters, and much more. To make it simple, it controls the overview of your site and it helps convey your brand to an audience. When choosing a theme, pick a scheme that relates to your industry, niche or business. Keep things simple and try to avoid make the pages too busy.

There are several sites you can browse for free theses and the even more that you can purchase. Most theme sites will give you the option to preview a demonstration of the theme before you actually download or purchase it. It’s basically a live example of what the website will look like. You can navigate through it just as if it already belonged to you.

The process of acquiring a Wordpress theme is fairly easy. Once you get your theme, you just need to install it. Although, if you purchase a theme, they sometimes have custom instructions to follow. I will say that themes can be a bit technical to customize, and this is not a lesson on doing that, so if you need help, please find a professional service to help you. There are several sites on the web that can help build and customize Wordpress themes at a reasonable price.  

Free Themes:
Wordpress’s own directory of themes (http://www.wordpress.org/extend/themes/)
