According to data from Built With, approximately 28 million websites are powered by WordPress.

With such a vast number of sites built on this open-source platform, you might be wondering how your WordPress site can stand out and reflect your unique brand. That’s where WordPress themes come in.

WordPress themes are collections of template files that modify the way a site is displayed without modifying the core WordPress software.

However, WordPress themes are more than “skins.” They provide control not only over the visual presentation of content on a WordPress site but also over the behavior of certain site elements when visitors interact with them. For example, a responsive theme might re-order or hide certain elements on the page when a visitor views your site from their mobile device.

You can download or purchase a theme to change the appearance and behavior of your WordPress site without touching a single line of code. Because WordPress themes, like plugins, allows users to create custom sites without coding, they have helped revolutionize web design and changed the way we create and consume content online.

Here are some important things to consider before selecting your WordPress theme:

• What type of design would reflect your brand personality?
• Do you need a variety of layouts or just one? Are you looking for a theme with built-in social media widgets or any other functionality?
• Would you like to install a demo site or start from scratch?
• Do you want to purchase a theme that includes its own theme builder?
• Would you prefer a back-end or front-end builder?

By asking questions like these, you’ll avoid the common mistake of picking a theme that looks cool but doesn’t have the functionality you need.
