When there are tens of thousands of WordPress themes to choose from, how would you know which one best fits your website’s needs? Although this topic can be subjective, the following pre-built themes offer a smooth transition into cyberspace and have become quite popular.
While some of these themes are great for starting a blog, others are good for ecommerce stores. However, your theme should be based on criteria such as being mobile responsive and creatively appealing to the eye. Being that mobile phone searches are used more than desktop searches, the responsiveness within the design is important. When the design is responsive, it functions and looks as good on tablet or mobile devices as it would on a desktop.
