Thesis Theme Review

I have been using  WordPress  as my blogging platform of choice for three or four years. For a long time I was scouring the net for free themes of which there are many good ones. I then discovered Thesis for WordPress and it has been one of my best discoveries ever. There are two options available, one is a single site license, the other a developer’s license which allows you to use it on as many of your own sites as you like. So what’s so good about Thesis you ask?

First off, it is so adaptable, whether you want one, two, or three columns, it’s all very easy to change. You also have complete control over the widths of these columns, so if you want to try different layouts it’s all very fast, very easy. We then move on to the design options page where you can change all the different text colours using a colour picker and get it looking just like you want.

Thesis Design Options

One of the many features of thesis is a box where you can enter your Google analytics code or similar which makes life easy compared to most other themes. We also have the multimedia box in which you can place rotating pictures, videos or any custom code for example – ad banners. Keep in mind I am only scratching the surface here when it come to the abilities of this theme.

This theme is also very SEO friendly, in that you can add your own title, meta-description, and keyword tags to each post or category page. You really don’t need one of the many SEO plug-ins that are out there, it’s all built into the theme.

A major plus with this theme is the support forum which you really need to get the best out of it. You can only get access to this forum when you purchase Thesis, but trust me, the amount of knowledgeable people contributing on there is amazing. I can really see this theme going from strength to strength as with every update there are some great improvements. If you are serious about your WordPress blogging it is well worth making the investment in the amazing Thesis Theme for WordPress
