How to decide on your WordPress Website Layout

Have you been spending too much time trying to figure out how to layout your website in a way that makes sense to your visitors?

The layout of a website is as important as the content that is chosen for the website itself. This is because the layout decides how easy a website is to navigate and how easy it is to find things on it.  Your website layout  is basically how your navigation, header, footers, pictures, content etc. are laid out on your web page.
Before you decide to create your first  wordpress business website…or  refresh your current site, consider the layout of your site first.

Keep the tips below in mind regarding your website layout.

Home Page

The first thing people are going to see when they land  on your website is your home page. This is your first opportunity to get their attention, and get them to delve further into what you’ve got to offer on your site.

This page should be ideally be short, sweet and to the point. Let people know who you are, what you do and why they want to do business with you. Also, let them know how to get a hold of you (both online and offline).

Navigation Bar Develop an easy to find and use navigation bar. This is the area where people will click to get to the next page they want to see.

It’s as simple as this – If people are confused about how to make their way around your site, they will go elsewhere. Make your navigation bar easy to see, easy to understand and easy to use.

So consider these points when planning your website layout:

  • Find a WordPress theme that closely matches your layout – ideally from  a premium wordpress theme
  • Choose the layout you like the most
  • Install your wordpress theme and start customising or Hire a WordPress Website Design Specialist
