These themes (not page builders) are some that I’ve used in recent projects and are fast, have a lot of white space and contrast. Perfect for a good base for User Experience and reading online.
I’ll expand this page into something more functional at some point but for now a simple list of my favorite themes.
// Customizing a theme
The below themes are great but themes always need some sort of customization. In WordPress there is a particular method of customizing a theme known as ‘creating a child theme’.
Doing this allows you to be able to update your theme AND keep your customizations. This duality arises because you can’t update the theme directly in the themes files because when you update it these changes will be over-written. You also always want to be able to update the theme as security vulnerabilities and additional features and compatibility with other plugins would then not be able to be accomplished. A child theme is a nice way to allow you to both upgrade and add your own permanent customizations.
You can learn to create a child-theme either by plugin or custom coding in this article that I wrote.
