Good day all, I am planning to make a content website where I post 3-5 articles every week in the tech and gaming peripherals/news niche with Adsense and Amazon as an income source. I am looking for some themes that would suit a tech blog, preferably as cheap as possible. Currently, I am hesitating between these two themes (Please let me know if links are not allowed): ListMag ($29): http://anthemes.com/themes/listmagwp/ It looks like it has a lot of features and it has a lot of Ad slots which might be handy for Adsense conversions. Benavente (Free):https://www.orange-themes.com/benavente/ This one is free and looks like it has just as many features as ListMag, only that the footer has the theme credit on it. Do any of you have a theme to suggest? Thank you. EDIT: I want to ask apart from that, can you add sidebar and in-article ads on whichever theme there is as long as there is HTML support and custom widget support?
REHub Theme on Themeforest might be a good solution for you. It's one of the best I've used so far. Costs $39 and excellent value for money. Good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion, I really like the RePick child theme inside of REHub, I do however wonder how well it would integrate with Adsense ads placed on the sides etc and if you could use it as a news website apart from just being a review site. Right now there is also Magneto: http://bk-ninja.com/magneto_game/homepage-2/ that I really like, it's $29 and looks like it can do the job but I wonder if the pages are too cluttered and won't convert much.
Actually there is no perfect example of good or best. Your choice & personality can be different from other. But Ramble Theme from themeforest can be a good solution.
The best and unique themes for tech news websites are: Newsmag PRO MagOne MagXP Flex Mag etc. You can search coupons to get some discount on these themes.
