So prepare to customize!

Find niche themes that allow you to modify:

The big keyword

Your main keyword needs to be placed in Meta title tags and headers. It’s just that simple. This helps prospects find your website. It also signals to search engines just what your site is about. Failing to modify a niche theme in this way can leave your prospects at the door.

Text and images at the forefront

Being able to modify the images and text in headers is very important to making your niche WordPress theme your own. Stock images and text won’t do for any business- much less your own. So verify that you can modify both before investing in a niche theme.

Text appearance

How your text is presented is just as important as the content that it contains. Some fonts leave un-businesslike impressions in prospects’ minds, but it’s all relative. You wouldn’t set up a hospital blog and then use the comic sans font all over it, would you? Similarly, using a cursive script font for a blog dedicated to a kindergarten class seems out-of-place, right? Decide what font best represents your business and then implement it.

CSS stuff

You may spend hours looking for that perfect niche theme, but you may end up a little disappointed in the end, no matter how nice the theme you end up with is. Why? Because no theme comes ready to use. You can get a handle on this by using CSS. Modifying the theme’s code using CSS can make your WordPress theme absolutely perfect. Anything you want can be incorporated into your WordPress theme, so take advantage of that fact, even if you have to undergo a little training and education to do it.

Taking advantage of these things will mean that you can be a formidable competitor. Your brand will be big, bright and obvious and you’ll have presence that competitors will surely have to notice.
