WordPress...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Look for versatility<\/h2>\n<p>Different clients have different demands that you must adapt to. You may have to create portfolios, business websites, or blogs and magazines. It would be <strong>counterproductive to use a different theme <em>every<\/em> time<\/strong>. First, you spend a lot of time searching for it, and then you have to invest energy learning how to make the best of it.<\/p>\n<p>Each new theme means you have to adjust to a new coding style. Wouldn\u2019t you be better off with a single theme that is powerful and versatile enough to deliver on your requirements and needs across various projects?<\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theme.co\/x\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/choosing-right-wordpress-theme\/layout-options.jpg\" alt=\"x wordpress theme\" width=\"100%\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>If you manage to secure a truly flexible theme, then that theme will not only lay the foundation for many types of websites, but it will also <strong>help you come up with unique results again and again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You also need to keep your options open. <strong>While some clients are easy to please, others don\u2019t really have a good sense of what they want.<\/strong> Those are the ones that ask you to make <em>all<\/em> kinds of changes. So you must ask yourself, does your theme help you please your clients? Would it allow you to modify the website layout from boxed to sidebar\/content, or full width? Does it give you the option to modify navigation and go from fixed top to fixed right or left?<\/p>\n<h2>Great support is fundamental<\/h2>\n<p>Web designers have to stick to a time schedule. The more projects we undertake, the less time we have \u2013 and we need to manage whatever is left on the clock to the best of our ability. Therefore, a theme is not helpful if it <strong>demands too much of our most precious resource: time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We need to make sure that the themes we\u2019re using are backed by a support team with strong communication skills who can and will help us solve all issues that crop up. There are themes with a team that has lousy response times, and themes with what you might call \"decent\" standard of customer support. But you <strong>don\u2019t want <em>decent, <\/em>you want <em>excellent<\/em> support<\/strong>, and on your own terms.<\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theme.co\/x\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/choosing-right-wordpress-theme\/x-wp-theme.jpg\" alt=\"x wordpress theme\" width=\"100%\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>A great support team answers calls of distress in less than 2 hours, and always gives you practical advice that you can work with. You shouldn\u2019t settle for a service that makes you wait up to 48 hours, or directs you to their knowledgebase for answers. When in doubt, check the testimonials because <strong>that\u2019s where you can spot great support<\/strong>, if it is provided.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Everything works perfectly and customer support is second to none.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\"Hands down, the best theme and support I\u2019ve experienced. The developers respond quickly in the support forum and resolve any issues in a timely manner. Well done!\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If your theme doesn\u2019t score points on customer support, <strong>let it go and move on<\/strong> to another one that helps you stay on schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>Clean code and good shortcodes<\/h2>\n<p>The whole point of using themes is to <strong>eliminate web designers\u2019 dependence on programmers and developers<\/strong>. A good theme has solid code and provides plenty of shortcuts \u2013 it\u2019s not a matter of shying away from the repetitive nature of manual programming, although admittedly not everyone is a big fan. The goal is to <strong>optimize our working process<\/strong>, so we can launch wonderful websites faster.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the issue of transitioning from handwritten code to themes that can keep up with the latest developments and core WordPress features.<\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theme.co\/x\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/choosing-right-wordpress-theme\/slider.jpg\" alt=\"x wordpress theme\" width=\"100%\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>In short, <strong>clean code is a must-have for any respectable theme<\/strong>. Improperly written or deprecated code will damage your website with broken-up layouts, data-corrupting shenanigans or worse. A fine theme will make these worries disappear.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it will save you from having to test your website for <strong>cross-platform responsiveness and compatibility with the latest browsers<\/strong> (don\u2019t get us started on those). Aside from clean-code, good themes unlock a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/wordpress-shortcodes-plugins\/\">series of shortcodes<\/a> that can be used even if you have minimum to zero programming skills.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/create-wordpress-shortcodes\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: How To Create Your Own WordPress Shortcodes\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">How To Create Your Own WordPress Shortcodes<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/create-wordpress-shortcodes.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-22733 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/create-wordpress-shortcodes.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">How To Create Your Own WordPress Shortcodes<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShortcodes are a very powerful feature of WordPress.

You will find that extended functionality is an important aspect \u2013 it is here that some themes outshine others. Take a closer look at your themes, <strong>assess their utility<\/strong>, and try to see whether the theme developers had gone the extra mile to create custom-made extensions.<\/p>\n<h3>Variety of plugins<\/h3>\n<p>The first checkpoint is a rich variety in plugins. Some themes throw in one or two essential ones which are compatible with others, but you have to purchase them separately and install the plugins yourself. Thankfully, there is a flip side to this practice \u2013 you can tell which themes are <strong>most considerate of your needs<\/strong>, by the number of plugins they volunteer from the start.<\/p>\n<figure><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theme.co\/x\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/choosing-right-wordpress-theme\/demo.jpg\" alt=\"x wordpress theme\" width=\"100%\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<h3>Usability of plugins<\/h3>\n<p>Then again, on closer inspection, some plugins may turn out to be more useful than others. Some plugins could be useful on a visual level for instance; many web designers prefer to <strong>build pages with a visual editor or composer<\/strong>. A gallery-type plugin would also be most welcome, because you never know when you\u2019ll have to showcase a few slides for your portfolio or web store.<\/p>\n<p>Then, there are plugins that help you administrate your website. You could benefit from an analytics plugin, and perhaps an easy-to-manage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/essential-wordpress-comments-plugins\/\">plugin for the comment system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/essential-wordpress-plugins\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 50 Useful WordPress Plugins You Should Know\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">50 Useful WordPress Plugins You Should Know<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/essential-wordpress-plugins.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-13437 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/essential-wordpress-plugins.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">50 Useful WordPress Plugins You Should Know<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNowadays, just about everyone can consider themselves a blogger.
