The Importance of Themes

The theme sets the tone for the entire site.  It frames the content and communicates a great deal about the writer and what he/she is trying to accomplish.  A truly remarkable theme instantly wins visitors’ attention and manages to keep them long enough to read and understand the real message of the site.

Using a common “stock” freebie theme exposes the blog to the danger of blending in with many others that use the same one.  The exciting information contained by the site can easily get lost in obscurity as visitors look at other alternatives that appear to offer more.  Although the beauty of design is not truly representative of the value of the content, the image projected by the site is always a major factor in attracting visitors.

Themes truly determine first impressions.  It is also considered the backbone of any site as it establishes the overall presentation.  It has the power to create an immediate and lasting impression and may trigger the visitor’s desire to read on instead of clicking away.

Losing viewer interest is very costly and can be fatal to a site which aims to derive some financial gains from it.  Blog themes are as varied as the owners although they all aim to get the attention of the readers.  Themes not only change the design of the site but also provide more control over the look and presentation of the materials in a website.
