Choosing themes in general & one for photography e-store?

  • hi all!

    i just made my first ever wordpress site and one of my developer buddies wasn’t crazy about my choice of theme, but hasn’t been able to really articulate why or how to do it better. since then i’ve been struggling to figure out how to intelligently choose themes in general: should i just buy one of the three most popular ones on themeforest because they’re fast, have good support, and have been proven intelligent ways of using wordpress as a CMS, or get one that looks similar to what i envision my site to be?

    i’m about to launch my own daily photography site–i’d like it to basically look like what i have up at https://www.nolaerrday.com, but when you click an image, it’ll send you to a page where you can buy it at various sizes, framed/unframed, etc. it’d also be awesome if rather than being stuck with a strict 3-column masonry layout, i could also have some “rows” with 5 columns or have horizontal images take up a whole column. aside from that, it’d of course be great if it were fast, but i’m also confused as to how much this has to do w/ theme vs. the server the site’s running on.

    i’ve been stuck at this point for about two weeks! if anyone could weigh in, it’d really help me get unstuck!! thank you!

    anyone? please?

    i’ve done a lot of reading (basically the first 15 articles that arise upon searching “choose first wordpress theme”), and the real problem seems to square down to not many having demos of their admin panels to gague how easy (or not) the site will be to customize, esp. in terms of ecommerce.
