Choose a Theme

Your website’s theme determines how content is structured and designed. It includes things like font styles, image placement, and color palettes.

Tips

  • Before you pick a theme, reference your organizational structure from the last module. Don’t just pick a theme that looks cool; pick one that complements your unique content.
  • Try to look past the photos in the themes, and focus on the layout of the site. You’ll eventually want to use your own images in order to give your site a personal touch.
  • Don’t worry about finding the perfect theme–you can change it later. Just remember that if you change it after adding content to your site, you may have to rearrange things a bit in order to get them looking the way you want.
