15 Best SEO Friendly WordPress Themes for Highly Discoverable Content in 2016 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

It can be difficult to tell how well a theme is optimized for SEO as some of the features are sometimes hidden.

 

Highly optimized SEO is in the details and you can tell by how the code and features are described.
A well-designed theme would have clean code that search engines love. They would be built with SEO best practices which would focus on headings, Google rich snippets for posts and reviews, Google authorship, semantic HTML5 markup, CSS3, be responsive, etc. Some themes even give you some extra tools to help you customize and improve your SEO even further.


With these features in mind I found 15 themes that are SEO friendly and help make your content highly discoverable. A few of these are older themes but they’ve been updated and are great examples of clean code that’s SEO optimized. They’re in no particular order. Let’s take a look.

15 WordPress Sites That Are Changing the Design Game

15 WordPress Sites That Are Changing the Design Game | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Have you ever come across a website and thought “Wow, how did they do that?” I know I have. New websites are popping up all the time that challenge convention and push the limits of what a website can (and should be).

But what about sites built on WordPress in particular? Because so many people use themes, there’s a reputation that follows this CMS around like it can’t be used to create truly remarkable things. But I’ve got news for the naysayers: WordPress sites can have just as much wow factor.

I’ve spent some time digging through best-of lists, award sites, and asking for input from various WordPress groups to come up with a list as good as I can make it of the best WordPress sites out there right now. Mind you, these sites aren’t just good (if they were, the list would be quadruple its current length); they’re also unique and push boundaries with regard to design, navigation, UX, UI, effects, or content. They are, quite simply, must-see....

Lots of creativity here and a selection of WordPress websites to inspire you.
