Homepage Disaster!
Hi WA Friends
My homepage is a disaster and I really need some help on it.
I tried so many pictures and everything but I still couldn't get it right. I'm seriously at a loss here.
All I want is just a simple professional, elegant and effective homepage. I looked at so many other home pages and most of them are very beautiful.
I just don't know why I can't get my homepage as I want it to be.
I would really appreciate any input, help or any suggestions that can help me improve my home page.
Thank you very much.

Here's a thread; What is the best WordPress Theme For Beginners? Also be sure you pick a "responsive theme that will work on mobile devices".
I've begun to pick some simpler and cleaner looking themes, as I think they look professional and are easy to read and navigate.
I'm starting to like the simple themes with a nice logo from fiverr.com. Check out some of my sites on my profile. - Shirley
I like that better. I do have a question. You have a form on the right sidebar, what is that for? -Shirley
Hi Shirley sorry for late answer, we're in different time zones.
That form is to capture emails and to build a list. Why?
I couldn't tell what it was for. Maybe you could add a title or a sentence about "sign up for my email list and get ...."
I'm not getting any visitors yet so I neglected it. Will start working on it again.
Thank you, Shirley
Hi Nicolass, I took a look at your site and I think a different theme might be better. The featured image is huge.
You are welcome to check my site out.. I use the Hiero theme, the same one that Kyle uses in the Super Challenge.
Good read you should always take help that way to avoid unwanted problem.
A blog in question!
wait for others.
I had a look at your website. The design and layout does look a little old, like websites that were done in the 80s.
I think you need a new and fresh theme. Go to my profile, and scroll down to the Follow Me section on the right side bar. You can see my websites there.
Take a look at the websites, and see which one you feel is close to what you wish your website to look like. I can then advise you which theme to use.
After choosing the theme, we can work on customizing the layout and adding the right images to get that look and feel you want.
Does your theme have a homepage template?
If not, you might want to change your theme to one that has a decent homepage template. Not all themes do.
I can't see your site, so I can't tell if it is as awful as you are saying :)
Hi DJ, thanks trying to help me. You will find my website in the lower right-hand corner of my profile.
What theme are you using? Problems in header or wherever. Don't know if I can help, but that info probably will be helpful.

I have just built a home page using Elementor a WordPress plugin.
Its a drag and drop platform with various theme templates. It may benefit you to have a look at it. You can see my home page on my site under follow me on my profile.
Hi Gordon, I'm very sorry for the late reply, I only saw this now. Anyway, thank you for your advice and I had a look at your site. I did manage to work on my homepage in the meantime and it looks better now.
I used Elementor in the past but it was too time-consuming, so I abandoned it.
