Web development

Did you know that WordPress stands to be the leading website creation tool among the top 1 Million websites? Undeniably, its flexibility, user-friendly interface, customizable themes, and the ability to provide a ready-made layout, design, and feel of the website are factors that make it the best tool for website creation. 

However, with 10,000+ themes currently available online, choosing a good theme for your blog can confuse you. To help you choose the perfect theme for your blog, we have come up with the best WordPress blog themes in 2019.

The best part about using these themes is that you can pick them up even if you are on a shoe-string budget. 

Before we go ahead with the list of best WP themes for blogs, here is what you need to consider while choosing the right theme for your blog:

• Simplistic: A WordPress theme that is loaded with numerous features will probably increase the downtime on your website. This can further lead to frustration for the readers and eventually to low traffic. Therefore, it’s best to pick a simple theme. 

• Responsive: As per the statistics by Statista 2019, there are currently 813.2 million mobile users in India alone. This indicates how imperative it is that your blog’s theme is mobile friendly. Keeping this in mind, choose a WordPress theme that is responsive on mobile as well. 

• Reviews: Skimming through user reviews is undoubtedly a great way to know if it’s a good theme or not. If you come across a WordPress theme that has a bunch of bad reviews, stay away from that WordPress theme.

Ready? Now that you know the basics for picking the most suitable theme for your blog, here are the best WordPress themes you can give a try.
