Introduction
WordPress is the most popular platform for website hosting. It is an open-source free platform that offers its users a variety of versatile features that make it the number one choice when it comes to website building and hosting. It has dominated the Google Search Engine Result pages with almost 2.28 billion results.
WordPress is preferred by both technical and non-technical people as it allows a person with zero coding and technical knowledge to build a website on his own. And if you think it is a platform for learners to gain experience, then my friend you are wrong. WordPress is the choice of industry giants and big brands like Microsoft, Facebook, Mercedez-Benz, Forbes, etc.
WordPress Themes
WordPress offers hundreds of free themes that you can choose from to make your website look attractive. There are themes are every sort of website you can imagine; travel blogs, portfolio websites, e-commerce websites, membership websites, online course websites, podcasts, business websites, etc.
Besides these my friends, there are premium themes that can be bought at a minimal price to have an extra bunch of features, that are regularly updated and are more convenient to use.
And if that is not enough, then you can also go for custom theme development, that is you can design your own theme as per the need of your website and your preference. That means every feature and colour appearance will be according to your choice.
Reasons for WordPress Theme Development
Here is the list of five reasons why going for customised theme development is the best for your website:
Align with your Vision & Mission: WordPress offers some of the best features that a website-building platform could have and one of them is to make changes and customise its free and even premium themes according to your needs and preferences.
But no matter how much you try playing with the fonts and colour scheme, you will not be able to give it a look that clearly speaks the language of your business.
Therefore it is better to go for a customised theme where everything is done keeping in mind the need of your website like-
- The reason for building your website
- Your target audience
- Type of content you wish to use to attract your audience
Stand out in the Crowd: Considering the fact that WordPress is the most popular platform and powers approximately 40 % of the web, it is fairly understood that its free and premium themes are used countless times by millions of users on the platform.
Even if you think that by customizing the free or premium theme, you will be able to make a mark in the crowd, you are completely mistaken. Even the premium themes have been customized a hundred times.
Besides, a user will not remember anything about your website because it looks more or less like several other websites that use the same original theme with a few changes. So you will not mark a mark in their minds.
Hence it is better to go for original theme development.
Gives More Security: WordPress is the host to the world's one-third of websites but there is another reality too, approximately 90% of sites attacked by cybercriminals are WordPress websites.
The concern for security is increasing day by day with hackers developing new techniques and technology. With WordPress, they get easy as they can decode the themes, find out vulnerabilities and target them.
With custom theme development, you will have the upper hand and be able to provide better security to your website. Also with custom WordPress plugin development, you will be able to add extra safety features to your website.
Develop SEO-Friendly Theme: In today's world, the power of SEO cannot be ignored. A website structure plays a very important role in how well it can perform on search engine result pages.
If you hire an agency for custom theme development, they will build your website structure from scratch using all the necessary features that will easily draw people to your website content. Later on, they work on the content, the necessary keywords, and other custom plugins to make it SEO-friendly.
Better Performance: At the end of the day, we want to achieve an excellent-performing website, one that loads quickly, ranks higher on SERP, and achieves its purpose.
A WordPress theme has a lot of inbuilt features you might not need. Besides, if you are a novice, you will not be able to check its functionality and remove bugs.
Custom theme development will ensure it has only those features that are necessary so that it loads quickly, has a minimum bounce rate, and has been tested multiple times so that there are no bugs that might affect its performance.
Conclusion
Custom WordPress theme development has multiple benefits and enables you to decide everything about your website. Looks, feel, functionality, features; everything is under your control and can be done as per your needs.
