Premium WordPress Themes For Any Website

Many people think that premium WordPress themes cannot do anything for them
and then proceed to spend time and money creating a theme that had already
been created and offered as a premium theme. It's important before even
considering creating a new theme to know what other themes have already been
designed that could be modified slightly for your use.

Premium themes cover a large gamut of layout options and design styles that
will appeal to the majority of users and which can be used as the basis for
other layouts and designs.

Although there are several common layouts, the majority of the layouts fall
in to just one or two categories: division by columns and division by rows.
These layouts divide the content in a way that saves portions of the screen
for navigation, content, and other important information with columns
dividing the content horizontally and rows dividing it vertically.

One of the most common layout styles is a two-column layout. This layout
generally has the navigation bar in a smaller column to the left-most or
right-most side of the panel and which utilizes a larger central area of the
screen to display the content. Don't let the simplicity fool you, though -
this layout is capable of achieving beautiful things with simple
modifications. A great example of this layout can be found in the "Graphix"
theme. Though obscured by a small picture gallery between the top-most
navigation and the central content, you can see the division of the two
columns. This layout is suited for any content.

Another common and classic style is the double-or-triple row style, which
puts all of the content in the center of the screen below a navigation bar
with no need to scroll.

This design is most commonly used for artistic websites and can also be
commonly found on websites that center around one specific topic. An example
of this is the "Web Studio" theme, which uses a triple-row with the center
row displaying the content, the top row as the navigation bar, and the
bottom row for the copyright. A slight modification to any premium WordPress
themes using this kind of layout may allow you to use the bottom row for
navigation, freeing the top row for other content.

These are just two of the most common designs and two themes which have
modified the common designs to do something more. However, what many people
do not know is that premium themes do not have to look the way they are
displayed; the truth is that many customization options are available in
every theme and that there are many ways to easily modify a theme using the
standard WordPress interface in order get the exact behavior that you want
or the exact look that you need for your WordpPess-powered website. Knowing
that, do you still think that premium WordPress themes can do nothing for
you or your website?

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts. Studies have shown that the easiest type faces to read on the Internet are san serif fonts. Popular sans fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, and Arial. Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
