Have you ever been on a site which is so dull that you wonder what made you check it out? If yes, you will probably agree with me that the theme vexed you in the first place. Well, I always say that image is everything. I tend to think that one of the prime reasons a blog may get and hold more visitors than another blog is the display.
Here are some factors that you need to consider when choosing a blog theme.
Customize your theme template
Theme templates can be either free, premium, or if you are really particular, custom. When using one of the free themes, you need to consider that there is a big chance that multiple bloggers will have the same theme as you choose. In this case, your content will have to be outstanding. On the other hand, you may choose to buy a premium theme that will cost you around $70. For the more meticulous blogger, a custom theme would be the obvious choice. However, this would cost you anything from a few hundreds to a few thousand dollars. Whatever package you choose, remember that you can still get an attractive theme at a pocket friendly price.
Get your theme from a trustworthy designer
When making the decision of who will be making your theme, you may need to get a person who is well-known for his/her great work in web design. Anyone can get away with creating just any blog theme, but not everyone can create a great blog theme. You are looking to have a great blog, not just a good one. Having your theme created by a well-respected designer with a great track record will make sure that the theme have great features as well as efficiency.
Get a blog that tickles your fancy
When you are browsing through various blogs, you may have found one or two with a design you like. If this is the case, you can contact the blogger and make an inquiry of what theme or template he/she uses and then see whether you can borrow a leaf from their blog.
Be unique
Everyone wants a blog that is unique, attractive, and definitely eye-catching; it shouldn't look like a typical blog. The blog needs an insightful ladder of components to link between the content and the presentation. Apart from these, you also need to have proper illustrative use.
Take care of layout components
Before finally settling on a theme, you need to consider certain blog theme components such as color and font. This is because some elements can easily be altered by a person familiar with CSS while some may prove to be a bit more difficult. However, sometimes your font of choice might not exactly work with the design you want. Invest your time in various blogs; look at their display and decide whether you like them. Another thing about color and font is, you want to use a user-friendly color/font combination and not clashed out ones. Color blocking only works in fashion, not so much on the World Wide Web. You are trying to attract more readers to your blog. This will be next to impossible if your visitors almost get blinded the minute your blog loads, right?
If you put all these in mind when choosing a blog theme, you will not only have an eye-candy type of blog but also one with rich, unique, outstanding content. Remember, you want to entice your readers, keep them glued to the screen waiting for the next post. As I said before, image is everything. So be sure, your content matches your font and color choices and make you stand out in the world of blogging!
