Suggestions on which theme to choose!

  • Hi I’d love some suggestion on the best theme to use for a magazine blog for psychology.

    The main things I’m after:

    – Use: Must be very intuitive and easy to use, drag and drop functionality with no coding required.
    – Look: It should look modern clean and slick, with all the relevant widgets. Mobile phone and tablet compatibility.

    While customisability is a bonus, ease of use is more important then looking radically different to other magazines. Would be helpful if they have good support.

    Some of the dedicated magazine themes I’ve considered are Sahifa, Newspaper.

    More generalist ones include X, Divi, and The7 – I like the look of these but are all the options just too much?

    I understand some themes have front-end editing, is it as good as it sounds?

    It’s the first time I’ve done a blog. As competent as your average person with a computer, but can not code and do not desire to learn!

    More often than not, those kind of themes will give you headaches down the road. Most developers wouldn’t use it on their own projects, but yes they will be useful when making sites for clients that don’t care much other than get the site up and running.

    Yes, too much, way too much. But again it depends on the project. Those kind of themes are useful when you just want to get it done with bells and whistles and not too worry about site performance and maintenance. The drag and drop way of building the web is still far away from being perfect.

    You should start with default WordPress theme, TwentySixteen is a good start. And learn how to use WordPress, which had nothing to do with coding. Spend time and energy learning how to use WordPress, as a user, instead of learning how to use all those theme frameworks.
