This could be a fuss for some, like me. I'm always searching for that right theme for my website. Could be searching for the whole night for that one suitable theme, but end up still using the previous selected one.

What I come to find out, is use the one that you see fit. Later on when your posts are increasing, see if it still fits the theme of your niche. Then consider finding the theme that can show what you want to emphasis most when users come to you website and what do you want them to see at a first glace?

I just finished my 4th posts and finally decided to change a suitable theme, as the previous one was too plain and too much white space, also the limited widget it provides spoils the website.

Thing to take note when building a website:

1) is the theme suitable for your current niche, this you can do it after you have more posts out, that's when you will notice the difference.

2) what purpose can the theme do to push out your main idea for the site to attract the visitors to come back.

3) put yourself in the visitor shoe, what would you like to see or know when coming to this website.

4) organised the widgets properly, make it user friendly. I've came across sites where I don't even know where to start and the same options/categories are everywhere. It is confusing.

5) put in pictures and info-graphs, this will help attract attentions and understanding.

6) social media button, this is a must have, I thank the members in WA who blog about this the other day which I totally did not notice.

7) always preview your post after you have complete it to see what needs to be edited before going live.

So far, this are what I came across and thought of sharing my thoughts and reminders to everyone. Let's help each other to improve and progress each day.

Thanks.
