Choosing a theme is an important part of building your website. Here's the full 35-min talk i made in the Facebook Community and Support Group.
I have covered the topic last year comparing the Rise Theme and the Pressive Theme, both themes from Thrive Themes.
This time, I will go deeper. Here are a few of the topics talked about:
- Reasons why people choose a specific theme over another : speed, look and feel, customizability, compability with other 3-party plugins.
- Potential issues that can arise from time to time.
- Other risks
- Pro and Cons of using a theme from Thrive Themes
Header (Sticky Menus, menu levels), Sidebar, Footer (number of columns), Social Icons, fonts, blog index layout, blog post layout - Pro and Cons of using a theme from a different company
- If you are considering a non-thrive theme, What to consider before, and what to right after installing, and what to keep monitoring on a on-going basis.
