6 Free WordPress Themes for Musicians
When I first installed WordPress, I was on an endless quest for the perfect free theme out there for our band blog. The deciding factor for me came when I decided what I wanted from my layout. Any free theme out there can be a WordPress theme for musicians.
The key is obtaining a layout that will display your message and vision. Create some mock layouts on scratch paper, visit some artist websites you like and observe what attracts you to some of your favorite sites. The quest now begins with your concept. I created a list of free WordPress themes I found online that contain different layouts and endless possibilities.
Examine different layouts. Check out how some themes accentuate the header image better. This might be useful if you have some nice artwork to display on your site. Some themes have wider columns and can allow you to put your social network links, album display, and ads if you choose. Find themes also that have fonts and color schemes you like. These are customizable but when I first started. I tried to find one that didn’t require as much customization so I could focus on my message as soon as possible.
I will be adding some random themes here for musicians that want to get thinking on what kind of layouts fit their scheme. There is no right answer to this quest. Focus on a clean theme that is SEO friendly, easy to navigate, pleasing to your eyes, and is not too noisy looking. Remember, your search engine visibility relies on your message and not on your display: Your display should complement your content.
