Advice. Best WordPress Templates that: Have opt ins, Good blogging, easy to use, and look great?

by Paul Wadsworth
7 replies
What are the key factors that influence a persons decision to stay on a website?

I'm guessing; Ease of use, fast load speed, find what they want ASAP?

Is it possible for someone with minor WordPress knowledge to achieve this?

I'm not the best tech-savvy guy out there, and know little about CSS and HTML. But I do have a domain and website set up with a purchased theme. Right now I want to make it look better, provide lots of content, and have some flow to it.

Website genre: Personal development/ Life Coaching / Health & Fitness.

Purpose: Currently to capture emails, provide blog posts and videos. In the future, to have a membership platform with online programs.

I appreciate any suggestions or advice you may have to offer.

Thank you all.

    Thrive Themes.

    You might not find many people talking about it because it doesn't have an active affiliate program, but it's probably the best I've used so far and I've used Optmizepress, Leadpages and a whole bunch of others. Clickfunnels is the easiest to use, but is buggy.

      "SKT Full Width" is a nice one if you have a site whose main purpose is to display images.

    I've only ever used OptimizePress but it appears that Thrive Themes is getting a lot of buzz lately so you might want to try them out.

    Thanks. Perhaps I should add in an extra requirement 'more affordable'.

    I'm new to the internet marketing world and currently don't make any money online,so paying a ton of monthly fees is not the best option for me right now.

    I've had AWeber for about 2 years and never made a cent from it.

      . . . and somehow that's aWeber's fault?

      Let's be honest - it's just a tool to help you with your marketing.

      If you don't actually have products and market them to your audience, no tool is going to make you money. Many of the very best and most profitable marketers I know use aWeber.

      I guarantee that aWeber is not the reason you haven't made money in two years!

    Genesis Framework all day!

    They have a plugin for woocommerce if you sell more than one product

    and lets not forget monster optin or sumome to turn your theme into a lead generation machine.

    best of luck

    Load of Speed is really important and a plugin like WpSuperCache will help you a lot with that . Even if you do not have a lot of experience with wordpress you can get very good results if you install the right plugin and have a decent theme like Genesis or Thrive . I suggest you to start with Genesis wich is really very simple to use .

    In my opinion is much more important you have good content that your users are really willing to read . Expecially for the traffic coming from google you will need to have very good content and really usable that can be consumed quite fast . I hope I helped !
