How important is using a SEO friendly/optimized wordpress theme?

Rather, the following wordpress themes looks very generic. Would it suffice for a micro niche site even tho it's a bit plain? how does one weigh the benefits of the SEO on the theme over the cosmetics?

Found these examples on the wordpress site of the SEO themes they have.

Thanks!

  • There's absolutely no reason to give up SEO for cosmetics. Don't get me wrong, I see people do it all the time but normally if they just took a day or two you can find a great looking theme with the proper SEO elements you need to rank well.

    And your link appears to go nowhere.

    Here's a tip for Wordpress themes that you like (visual appeal).
    • Look at the download zip file size.

    Very small WP theme file sizes don't usually have a bunch of unnecessary fluff. Example, nobody needs 107 fonts just because they exist.

    Obviously even a small file size can be a crappy theme for onpage SEO but it's a very quick way to weed out themes that are bloated with a bunch of junk & narrow down your choice of available WP themes. From there you can optimize the WP theme source files to fit your own needs (onpage SEO, etc...).

    • Yes, very intelligent input right here from hossainigbal.

      Tell me, hossainigbal, do you write many good contents?

  • I'd say focus on the SEO rather than the cosmetics. Why? Because ugly sites rank and convert well. But a site that is not properly optimised won't rank well.
