Templates and Themes

The hardest part of creating any website is coming up with the initial design. For ideas, look at sites in your business field and sites that can accomodate the information you need to convey.

If you’ve got the budget, the best results are usually achieved by employing the services of a professional web designer who can take the time to understand your business.

Wordpress comes with two standard themes you can use to plan your basic content, but for real sites you’ll need something more involved. Fortunately there’s a huge community of designers who provide a wide range of themes for free.

While many free themes are suitable for personal sites, relatively inexpensive commercial themes are available for a more professional look. Mikoder highly recommends the theme developers to the left for themes that are suitable for a wide variety of general usage.

However, in the majority of cases, commercial themes require customisation to suit your particular requirements and should be considered only as a starting point. While the original designer should be able to offer advice regarding modifications to their theme – which you implement yourself – they have to balance competing needs and will rarely incorporate significant changes to suit a single customer.

 
Mikoder can develop a static site or a Wordpress theme based on an existing design, a design provided by a web designer, or modify a Wordpress theme to suit your particular requirements.
