Your blog is the heart of your online commerce; it’s like the central office of an offline company. Hence, it is important to practice perfect theme standards to make certain that your website drives out the max number of visitors which is similar to offline shop selling things to as many people as possible.
Your blog is the virtual picture of your company if your organization prevails objectively or not. Blog/Website Design plays a major role for enhancing your reputation. It is mandatory that you need to design your blog theme by following Search Engine guidelines in order to enjoy the better Search rankings. People around you suggest few themes, especially Webmasters using WordPress platform will have huge deal options in the form of Search Engine Friendly themes like Thesis, Arthemia, Swift Theme, Theme Junkie, PremiumPress etc., but still choosing one of the best theme that which suits your Niche is most important aspect.
Consider a casual Cloths shop; you are not supposed to launch it in a small hut or platform or near a big shopping mall. You need to have perfect strategy, about which place you are going to launch and what sort of infrastructure you are going to provide.
It will be almost similar in case of Theme Selection. Choosing Thesis Theme for Technology blogs doesn’t give it 100% boost as it gives for SEO or Web Master blogs and vice versa. Before, getting a theme, you need to think twice and consider all sorts of Cons and Pros and finally make sure that whether that theme suits your niche or not.
Consider a Best Example: You are having a SEO Blog and you have chosen some Flash Theme, will it work?
It sounds silly, as how can a Web Master running a SEO blog relies on Flash Theme. Not, satisfied with this example? Okay then, let us switch to some sort of practicality.
Consider you are having an E-commerce site and you are using a basic design for it. For an E-commerce site, you need to make sure to cover as many products as possible in your front-page including few Hot Sales and Discounts etc. So, you need to have specially designed themes for that.
You might be wondering what is the role of theme in the Success of a blog?
Of course it is. Since, every developer will design themes basing on certain niche in mind. But, yes customization of a Thesis theme for an Ecommerce Website is possible, but still it is not suggestible according to me, as we are having readymade themes like ShopperPress etc.
We can also relate blogging, which is considered as a virtual business to some branded Store or a physically existing business. So, let us assume that all the Bloggers/Webmasters as Owners of a branded Store. Would you let your sales people to be dressed in casual uniform while dealing with your customers?
There you need to maintain some sort of Discipline. By changing your team be dressed in brain, you are telling your customers that you do care about quality. Same thing you need to focus on your blog as well. If your blog is put simultaneously shabbily along with looks like a 5 minute “quick fix”, you are exactly shouting to your traffic that you are not hotshot along with you do not caution for quality.
You are also not supposed to use contrast colors which irritates users and make them confused as a result, the visitor switches to other pleasant website. It is regardless whether you provide great information or perform excellent SEO practices like onpage optimization, offpage optimization, get backlinks etc., to reach Google Front Page etc. thing. It is mandatory to maintain a Good Web Design Standards and always think like a visitor not like a designer while customizing your theme.
Loading Time is yet another concept that is highly related between virtual world and practical world. If a customer enters your store and he is having a slow response from your staff that are busy with some useless work other than dealing with customers. They customer will definitely feel impatient and leave your store. It will be same in case of your blog as well. Never overload you blog with whole lots of java-scripts, images, buttons, tables, frames, etc., keep it simple and clean.
So, in order to maintain a perfect Web Standard Theme, you need to think like a Business Man, as well as a Customer.
