Finding a WordPress theme isn’t difficult. Finding the best WordPress themes is a bit more challenging.
There are seemingly endless options for WordPress themes, but not all of them are worthy of consideration. To expedite your search, we put together this guide on how to find the best WordPress themes, including what to look for, where to find them, and our top WordPress theme picks.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when it comes to picking a WordPress theme, aesthetics are just one consideration.
Yes, the design is important. You need to pick a WordPress theme that matches your brand. You want a modern design that represents your business well. Look for a design that gives your site professional and modern appeal. There are reputable theme development companies that create attractive WordPress themes that also have the correct technical requirements.
Knowing what to look for is only half of what you need to know about finding the best WordPress themes. In addition to identifying your website’s needs and the basic elements of a great theme, you should take these steps to ensure you’re picking the right theme.
See what other people are saying about the theme. Do the reviews mention any issues? How do current users rank the support provided by the developers? Are there any problems with custom widgets?
Check out a demo site with the theme to see how it works. You also could consider setting up a staging site (a free Pressable feature) on your server to test the theme yourself. Learn more about how to take advantage of this perk in our post on how to create a staging site for WordPress.
You need a theme that’s up-to-date and compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Before installing a theme, check to see how regularly the developer releases updates. And if you are choosing a free WordPress theme, ensure someone is making these updates.
Fortunately for the budget-conscious website builder, several great free WordPress themes exist. But if you’re using a premium theme, you’ll want to budget for the costs. Also, check to see if the license is a one-time fee or if you’ll need to keep paying to receive theme updates. Some WordPress themes come with a lifetime license, there are options for every budget.
In addition to reading the reviews, you’ll want to do some baseline quality checks on your theme. Use the Theme Check plugin to see if the theme complies with the latest WordPress standards. Don’t just choose a popular WordPress theme because others have. Make sure it is the quality you want.
