CUSTOM Theme Development, Design & Integration
The Benefits of Theme Development for Your Business Website
CMS’s (content management system) like WordPress, Drupal, Magento or Joomla are quickly becoming the most common way to build a website. They’re simple to use, easy to customize and put more power into the hands of the business owners while requiring less sophisticated knowledge to edit a website.
For instance, when working with WordPress you can easily create a new post or page on your site without knowing the first thing about HTML or how to use a website database.
While these CMS systems are simple to use, they can be troubling to try and modify when you aren’t a professional developer.
Using stock themes may work for some businesses, but anyone looking for that custom look to really help separate themselves from all the other providers will need to have one created for them instead.
Getting a Custom Theme
A theme is like a skin for your website, but it’s more complex than that. Adding a new WordPress theme to your site will change the way it looks, but will also likely change where information is positioned around the site and how visitors interact with it.
A custom theme will give you that high-quality branded look that you want for your business, and it isn’t nearly as expensive or time-consuming as you probably think.
Finding a Quality Provider
The most important step to getting a good quality theme is finding someone with experience in Joomla theme development or with development experience for whatever CMS platform you currently use for your website.
A skilled provider can give you professional results quickly and efficiently. Sure they might cost a bit more, but they’ll leave you feeling like you got your money’s worth and more. A low-cost provider will likely rely on premade templates to create your finished site allowing them to get the work done very quickly but giving you less than stellar results.
Not only will the page not have as much polish as the one developed by the professional provider, it also won’t be nearly as customized for your needs. Your website is the face of your business, there’s no reason to skimp on costs when altering something so important, and that’s why top providers are vital.
Provide Plenty of Input before Having Work Done
The only way that a service provider is going to be able to create a CMS theme that makes your page look and function the way you want is if you can specify exactly what you are looking for. Take the time to find other pages with features or looks that you like, and really decide on what it is that you are looking for.
Top providers will ask plenty of questions before getting started, but it’s still important to take the time and really think about what it is that you want so you can make sure you get it.
Too many business owners are silent when it comes to planning the site, or too vague about what they want, and then they are disappointed with the end results. Don’t let this be you, speak up and know what you are looking for.
As long as a business owner really takes the time to locate a high quality provider and works hard to communicate what he wants from them there is no reason he won’t love the end results.
Many top providers also offer to make changes to aspects of the site that customers don’t love, but with proper communication the changes needed are usually quite minimal.
If you have a website that you want to revamp, or you’re planning on releasing a website in the future consider relying on a professional to create your CMS theme for you.
Using a good Drupal theme developer or custom WordPress theme, combines the simplicity of running a website built on a CMS with the custom look that businesses require to differentiate themselves.
