Finding the ideal theme for a business website can be tricky. There are countless themes available that market themselves as business themes, making it easy to just download the first one that looks about right so you can get on with setting it up. However, this is the quickest way to waste time and money. Before setting out to find a theme, it’s important to work out what you need and even make a list of your requirements. If you’re setting up a website for a client who works in food and hospitality, you may need a website that offers online reservations. Hair salons may need a booking system, while online stores will need an eCommerce solution, such as MarketPress. For small business clients and consultants, their needs will be completely different. The collection of themes below includes various themes designed especially for businesses, each offering different functionality such as booking forms, event managers, typography management, custom post types and sliders....

Tumblr or WordPress is one of the most frequently asked questions for people that are starting to get into blogging. Recently my opinion on this choice has changed to not being a choice at all. Instead of choosing one over the other, I now prefer to use both in a way that they compliment each other. So how and why can we use both of them at the same time you may be asking. Use wordpress.org as your main blog that you completely control with your own domain name, nice design and all the other things that WordPress does very well. Many consider Tumblr not a blogging platform at all but more of a social network so in this case I aim to get the most out of Tumblr’s social properties. If you currently blog on Tumblr and are looking to switch to WordPress this is the guide that you need. How to use TumblrInstead of using Tumblr as my main platform for a blog I only post excerpts, pics and links back to the main blog there. This is a nice way of keeping the benefits of Tumblr social network features to drive attention and traffic to your blog while getting all the good stuff from WordPress like complete ownership and control over the look and feel of your site....

Looking back on the theme landscape of 2014, a clear design trend emerged that highlights WordPress’ roots as a blogging platform.

Many theme designers opted to hide navigation menus and sidebars behind a slideout menu, which also works well for mobile displays. WordPress’ newest default theme, Twenty Fifteen, is the culmination of this trend towards simplicity. The vast majority of our top picks from 2014 were designed for personal blogs....

When you build a website or blog, populating it with content is just one step of the process. For some, it’s as simple as writing up a few basic content pages, writing blog posts on a regular schedule, and that’s it. For others—especially those working in complex industries, their content needs might be a little bit more demanding. That’s when content starts to get lengthy. I’m talking 5,000+ word blog posts, here. The subject matter might totally lend itself to that many words but a careful balancing act must be accommodated for: what’s the right length to thoroughly cover the topic at hand without making your readers’ eyes glaze over? Long content is what we’re going to talk about today. And as always, it’ll have a WordPress bent so all the organizational tips offered will be catered to fellow users and developers of this CMS.
