What do The New Yorker, Le Monde, The Herald Sun, Tech Crunch, Hello Giggles, New York Post, MTV Newsroom and many others have in common? They’re all made on WordPress. To be more precise, using some of the WordPress magazine themes. Now, if those big names are using WordPress, it’s a clear sign you should too. In this article, we walk you through into why.
Magazine themes are an excellent way to express and present your rich content. They are versatile, responsive, easy to use and packed with many advanced options to help you stand out. Whether you cover tech, fashion, business, daily news, gossip or gaming, WordPress magazine themes are well-suited and highly customizable and are a No.1 choice you should make.
And, don’t get intimidated by these big names using WordPress. Choosing WordPress magazine themes isn’t expensive nor does it make you uniformed and like everybody else. Even if you’re using a popular magazine style theme, you can still make it your own, thanks to such versatile layouts, typography, plugins and such.
Now, when choosing the right WordPress magazine theme, there are few things to consider. The first and most important is that it has to be responsive. Period. Nowadays, when the majority of people goes online through their smartphones, it is a must. You cannot have the luxury of not owning a responsive theme. There’s an easy way to check if the theme is mobile-friendly – by using Google’s Mobile-Friendly test.
The next thing to consider is SEO friendliness. No matter if you’re a beginner or savvy user, SEO is crucial for your overall online presence. That’s why your magazine style theme needs to be SEO optimized, too.
Also, browser compatibility. Your WordPress magazine themes (like any other) needs to work correctly on different browsers. It’s not enough that it looks great on Mozilla (for example) and not on Chrome or Opera or vice versa. The easiest way to check? Simply open the theme on various browsers and see if anything looks different or broken.
