Best WordPress Themes for Your Blog
Choosing the best WordPress theme for your blog can be a struggle. Here’s my selection of SEO-optimized, responsive, beautiful and customizable themes.
First off is 17th Avenue Designs. I’m using the Amelia theme on my blog, but there’s a wide selection of incredibly beautiful themes to choose from on their website. Here’s a little peek at some of them below!
These WordPress themes have so many perks:
- easy to put together with ready-to-import demo content, installation guide,
- lifetime theme support,
- SEO-friendly,
- Works for every niche,
- easily customizable,
- completely responsive,
- Woocommerce ready for some of them
- the Genesis Framework IS included…
Another great resource to find WordPress Themes is Creative Market. I love so many creators’ work on there and you can find something for every budget, too, which is amazing. You’ll find below a little selection of themes I adore!
You can also find great WordPress themes for book bloggers (and any blogger, really), thanks to the wonderful Nose Graze. Made to showcase your photography, with customizable layouts and automatic updates, they’re so great!
Here are a couple ones I really like!
I also really like Bluchic’s themes. They’re all absolutely stunning and ready for any type of blogger, really, with so many customization possibilities and a final look that’s professional and beautiful on any device. Of course they’re responsive, SEO-friendly and overall awesome!
Bluchic also offers FREE updates and support, as well as lovely bonuses if you purchase, such as copywriting workbook, website launch checklist, podcast graphics…
Here are a couple of my favorites!
