Wordpress design and development 101 advice for beginners

WordPress design and development 101: advice for beginners

WordPress is one of the most popular platforms for building websites. This is because, it enables users to not only build reliable sites but also, create free blogs that they can use to share information and hobbies. However, beginners have a hard time in wordpress design and development as they are not used to the system. Unfortunately, this works against them as they are not able to benefit from what wordpress has to offer. There are some things that you need to know before designing a wordpress site. Those tips will not only help you in making the right decisions, but also ease the process of building a WP site.  

Consider using premium themes

Many of us love free things. That is why many beginners who go to wordpress choose free themes. However, these free themes are loaded with problems both in functionality and codes. On the other hand, premium themes come with a host of great features and quality coding structure. With these, you will get great functionality that complements the design. Therefore, it is advisable to pay for the premium designs so that your site can benefit from what they have to offer. The good thing is that, wordpress comes with a great assortment of premium themes that you can choose from.  

Use the right font

Although many people are not aware of this, fonts play a crucial role in the success of a wordpress site. If you chose the wrong font, people would find it hard reading the content that you have on the site and therefore fail to come back again. That way, you will lose valuable traffic for your site.  Also, choosing fonts wisely will give your brand a good personality and at the same time making it looks trustworthy. However, changing font on a wordpress site can be time consuming but in the end, you stand reaping the good benefits.

Set an accent color for your website

Every wordpress site owner wants to make their website run fast and smoothly.  Therefore, it is important to choose a wordpress color that looks attractive to a casual user.  However, choosing a wordpress color is easy and in addition, there are online tools such as WP Eka that can help you in the process. All in all, choosing the right wordpress color theme is going to determine how attractive your site is going to be.

Optimize the speed

Many online users want sites that are fast to load.  And although Google says that the average time for a mobile site to load is 22 seconds, it has been noted that many users give up on a site if it takes more than 10 seconds to load.  

Find a good logo

A good logo is something that can attract many visitors to your site. Therefore, it is important to find a logo that suits the theme and topic of your site so that it can look relevant. You can brand your site with the logo of your business.
