Advice on Wordpress theme

[jimmy83]

Hi all

I'm thinking about buying this theme, does anyone have any advice or even use this theme?

Would love to hear your thoughts from a photographers POV

Not a bad theme and seems to have a lot of flexibility in its portfolio pages.

I also quite like these for their ability to immediately grab the viewer's attention as they enter your site:

These ones are also nice:

Other things to consider when selecting a theme:
- Ideally choose one that is Retina Ready ie the icons etc are optimised for higher resolution screens
- Consider if you need eCommerce facilities. If you do, look for one that is compatible with WooCommerce
- Choose one that is responsive so it adapts to tablets and phones. Most of the newer ones do
- what other features do you need? Check to see if the theme you choose has them

I would have thought the first thing to decide is what you want from your site

The theme itself is nice enough, just depends what you want really. So many nice themes about. So many super flexible themes about as well.

But what about your brand? Does it fit in with your other styling and design. Only you can decide that.

Of the good themes for WordPress I really like the Divi theme from elegant themes. Super flexible, fast and top quality.

Thanks for the suggestions, the main points are to promote my wedding photography. A couple of key things I would like are a way of selling prints after events/weddings and being able to use blogstomp.
