Themes, Theme and More Themes: How Do You Choose?
There are little hundreds of free and paid themes out there. So how do you choose. Here are a few things to consider while making that choice:
- Columns – there are single, 2, 3 and 4 column themes. This simply refers to the number of columns in the template.
- Fixed Width vs. Fluid Width – Fixed width is a set size that will not change. It will neither get larger or smaller. Works good if you feel the majority of your viewers may be using a smaller monitor. A fluid width will adjust according to the size of the browser window. Content will grow and expand as needed.
- Plugins Required – This simply is telling you that you will need to have certain plugins installed for the theme to work properly.
- Widget Ready – I would highly recommend this one. It means that the it will be easier to add customized widgets to your sidebar.
- Colors – Look at the site and see what colors they are using. Those same colors will be available to you.
- Full Page – This could be an option that is listed. It means that if you choose one of your pages to appear without the sidebars. This may work good for a page where more space is needed.
Many themes go beyond these features and are customizable.
Shop around, look around and ask around. And have fun!
