Dotty Scott explains how WordPress themes let non-coders customize a site's look by swapping images, text, and videos. Pick a theme whose creator speaks your language, offers responsive support in your time zone, and has a layout that fits your needs. DIY works on a budget if the structure matches your vision; otherwise hire a developer.
Yes, so some of the reasons that I really love WordPress— in fact, Kelly and I were talking about this beforehand— they have some really great themes. And a theme is essentially what your website looks like. And because most people aren't coders that are business owners, you know, you can load up a theme and then just replace the little pieces with your information. So when you, when you're looking at these, because it's overwhelming, there's probably easily a million themes online. And I'm not exaggerating. For WordPress, choose one that is built by someone who speaks your language natively. I learned that the hard way. Choose one that has great support. That is in a country that is at least on your time zone. That's super helpful as well. And then choose one that has the, the like blocks of information organized in a way that will work for you. And then you can just simply, you know, swap out their picture and put in your picture or take their video out and put in your video and the text and the all of that stuff. And then it's easy. If you start to say, well, I wish it was here and I wish this did this and I wish this and I wish that, then you end up coming to someone like me who will actually build it for you. Not saying that's a bad thing. Because I personally like my work. But, but if you are a DIY type person, or you have to be because of finances, then it's important that you pick a theme that's really laid out the way that you want it.
