Hi, I'm designing a website on WordPress, I have downloaded the template and uploaded all of the content and it's all done, but I just need to add some extra style to it as it's quite plain and basic at the moment. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips or advice on how to add some creativity to a website on WordPres? I look forward to your responses. Thanks in advance. Jordan.
Hi Jordan Roper, You want to customize existing WordPress theme to your design. If template selected by you is close enough to your designed design then you can customize it easily. You need CSS knowledge for the same. I am a WordPress developer, I can customize WordPress themes to PSD designs. If you interested then let me know.
You can rely on the theme or you can also check the theme preview. But the best thing to do is to work on your CSS - it would definitely help for design. Good luck!
You can add a lot of appearance appeal without tinkering with CSS. Dig through all the options offered by your theme. Adjust background color. Use a custom header. Add an image high in the side bar. Use high-quality images in your posts and pages. It depends highly on what you are trying to achieve with your blog. I tinker with CSS on some of the sites I build, but most of the time I am able to achieve what clients like by using options built into the themes I use. But of course...I have about 20 commercial themes to choose from, which helps.
