#BOSSTIPS Guide to Create Your Own Site Part 2 (Choosing Themes)

Now, at this point you have created your website and you are probably overwhelmed with all of the options available for a site theme. Or, you might fall into the other category of not being overwhelmed but underwhelmed and you are looking for a theme that would set your site apart from the herd of other sites and blogs.

Themeforest is the site that I used to find the theme of my site. It is a theme and template marketplace from Envato Market and it has a great selection of images, themes, and project files that will amp up your site. All themes and templates could be used for HTML, WordPress, Joomla, Magento, PSD, email and more. Envato also provides plugins through its CodeCanyon site. Sellers who sell through Envato can keep between 62.5%-87.5% of their sale.

The particular theme that I used from Themeforest is Amory. It offers 12 versions of the theme and 2 of those versions hosts WooComerce integration. Amory is great for fashion and beauty sites with its white spaces and wide view slider that highlights your most new or important content. Photographers and magazines can also look no further with the magazine version and the photography version.

The only thing that I will recommend when looking for a theme and you are a beginner is to make sure that your theme comes with support. It is really helpful for beginners to have a place to ask questions in the event that you need help with setup of your theme. Also, read all comments and reviews on your theme before purchase of the theme. One element that people seemed to have trouble with in the Amory theme is the slider but with the support provided I was able to easily setup my slider.

Here are a few options where you can find fabulous themes for free or a cheap price:

WordPress is not just a great as a content management system but is also has many options for free and premium themes.

 

MOJO Themes is a great place to buy and sell themes and templates for Word Press, Shopify, Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop, PSD, email and more. All the templates also come with free support and upgrades which is great for a beginner blogger.

Creative Market is a nice marketplace to check out and purchase templates from independent creatives. It has 7,000 shops with 200,000 products obtainable for purchase. Themes are available for Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, Magento, Open Cart, HTML, Tumblr, and WordPress. Also, if you are a seller there is plenty of support to track statistics, keep up with customers, and manage support. Plus, there is the bonus of keeping 70% of profit!

Fantero is your go to spot for purchasing visual content. It has a wide variety of unique items that include web templates, flash files, video files, and 3D models. Fantero also has templates for WordPress, Joomla, Magento, OpenCart, osCommerce, HTML and many more. Fantero also gives a great deal with the possibility f receiving 50-75 percent off on each sale.

 

ThemeSnap is another source for theme and Templates. The themes and Tempates can be used for WordPress, Joomla, PSD, and HTML. Sellers have the ability to set their price, personalize discounts., and can receive 55%-75% of their sale.

Templatic is a marketplace that has themes for the main content managing systems. It also has a great variety of ecommerce themes for platforms like OpenCart and PrestaShop. Sellers can keep 50%-90% on each sale.

WP Eden is a marketplace that hosts a variety of products that include themes, plugins, and even tutorials. WP Eden is a great resource for tips and tutorials with its support section. There is a membership fee of $55 for full exclusive access to themes, plugins and support.

About me

Hello, My Name is Comfort and I am a blogger living in NJ.

This is a hub where fashion, motivation, and women of color can meet to inspire, support and motivate each other towards success.

I will post weekly look books, highlight businesses owned by women of color and offer any lessons and motivation I have learned along the way.

I am not an expert but I think there is beauty in the process and I feel like more people should hear about the journey.
