Free WordPress Themes: Here are the best templates for your blog

One of the strengths of WordPress are the many free and unavailable themes. Finding the right theme is one of the key aspects of a site's success. In fact, those who want a professional site often rely on programmers capable of creating temi WordPress tailor-made at a cost of a few thousand euros.

Next to the many temi WordPress for a fee, however, there are also many free. These are themes made by programming enthusiasts who want to make themselves known and hope to sell some, other times they are free themes in a reduced version of the Pro ones.

WordPress themes vary not only in appearance but also in the elements and functions that compose them. Some are quite simple and aimed mainly at graphics, others are much more complex and add new functions to those already present in the platform.

there temi WordPress developed for a particular sector such as music, cooking but also themes developed for online commerce sites that will have other features, such as linking to secure banking services.

Temi WordPress gratis can be found directly from the official WordPress site and can be accessed from the control window of your account. All the themes featured have been approved and tested by WordPress so you won't have to worry about your safety.

I temi WordPress are divided between free a payment and for category. For example, if you are looking for an online magazine structure you can choose the Magazine category, and so on.

In addition to searching by category, there is also the possibility of using filters that can only display themes that have a structure a a, the two or more columns, or i colors or even i menu that you find most interesting for your site.

The advice I can give you is to analyze well the topic you are interested in viewing it through the demo, and only then check how it looks on your site by clicking Preview.

Choosing among the many free themes that are right for you is a long and tedious operation, so in case the structure of the chosen theme is not compatible with your site, do not waste too much time but immediately look for another theme by aiming up immediately to the filter window, visible in the section Temi, to find the category and structure you need.

All WordPress themes are SEO optimized and responsive. They are also updated automatically and their speed allows excellent rankings in search engines.

How to apply a theme in WordPress

If you are with a PC the first step to apply a theme in WordPress is to connect to its official page and click on Create website. If you have an Android or iOS tablet or smartphone, go to the store and download the WordPress App.

The first thing you will be asked is to choose a theme from those available: click on the one you like best, considering the fact that you can change it whenever you want. Or if you managed to install WordPress, you can from Dashboard going up Appearance> Themes> Add New, to view among the many categories (Featured, Popular and Most Recent) the theme that you think is most compatible with the blog you want to create. By clicking on the item Functionality filter you can see a page where you can select the features you would like in your ideal theme. You can tick as many as we want; the greater the number of features selected, the longer the list of identified themes will be. At the end click on Apply filters, top left, to view the result.

Another solution is to type a keyword in the Search for themes search field, for example magazine, to limit the results and display only the themes of a certain interest.

After identifying the theme, press the buttons Preview o Install, visible on the theme screenshot. Pressing Preview or Preview you can judge the performance with your site, the graphic structure and readability. Pressing Install the theme will be uploaded to your blog but will not be activated automatically. To do this, go back to the screen Temi and press pulsating Attiva, visible on the theme screenshot, to use the chosen theme.
