Granted that plugins extend the design, functionality and layout of a website, they should be used sparingly.

In addition to the aforementioned tips, here are other things to consider when choosing a website theme.

1. Website Functionality

Assessing your business needs is helpful in executing the purpose and goals of your website.

In this case, advanced functionality is best handled by professional website designers. Particularly, if you’re option for custom WordPress website design.

2. What Are You Establishing Online?
