    Why WordPress Themes

    WordPress Themes are files and styles that work together to create a presentation or look for a WordPress site. Each Theme may be different from each other, offering many choices for users to take advantage of in order to instantly change their website look. Why should you build your own WordPress Theme?

    • To create your own unique WordPress site look
    • To take advantage of templates, template tags, and the WordPress Loop to generate different web page results and looks.
    • To provide alternative templates for specific site features, such as category pages and search result pages.
    • To quickly switch between two site layouts, or to take advantage of a Theme or style switcher to allow users to change the look of your site.
    • Design WordPress Theme(s) so that others may enjoy your designs through public release.

    A WordPress Theme has many benefits, too.

    • It separates the presentation styles and template files from the system files so the site will upgrade without drastic changes to the visual presentation of the site.
    • It allows for customization of the presentation and web page results unique to that Theme.
    • It allows for quick changes of the look and feel of a WordPress site.
    • It takes away the need for a WordPress user to have to learn CSS, HTML, and PHP in order to have a good looking website.
