  • Mediavine open sources its WordPress theme framework

    Mediavine open sources its WordPress theme framework

    Trellis, the WordPress theme framework used by customers of ad management platform Mediavine, has been rolled out on the open internet for beta testing and is now available for purchase by any WordPress users. A theme framework is a template within which customized child themes can be developed.

    Trellis is already in use on over 1,000 sites run by publishers in the Mediavine network. 77% of these publishers are passing all three of Google’s Core Web Vitals (compared with 4% of internet sites overall). Trellis comes with multiple pre-build child themes and features native and feed placement ad units.

    Why we care. The adtech space is, of course, for-profit. Nevertheless there are increasing signs that it’s rooting for the open internet in the belief that all boats will rise together. The Trellis tool can now be used by any WordPress-based publisher and not just by Mediavine clients. Like the Trade Desk and Unified ID 2.0, Mediavine isn’t seeking to hoard a solution which seems to work well.

    As Trade Desk CEO Jeff Green recently said, “I think there’s two types of companies in the world. Those that are trying to control the internet and those that are trying to enable it.”

  • How to Choose and Install the Best Template

    How to Choose and Install the Best Template

    How to Choose and Install the Best Template

    How to choose a WordPress theme? This is one of the questions bloggers ask those who work in the web marketing industry. Because one step is clear: by installing the right theme you can make a difference. And not only from an aesthetic point of view: the template concerns the structure of the blog

    Or the website, that’s clear. Because by loading the right theme you can allocate your work to a static project, the classic single page with a resume, or little else. Or you have in front of you the topic of blogging, of the editorial activity that involves a continuous elaboration of contents.

    Without forgetting e-commerce. Yes, you can turn your product into an online shop. It all also depends on the template you decide to install. So, how do you choose a WordPress theme?

    Better professional or free? Are both solutions possible? It has to be responsive, right? Here is a series of pointers that will help you make the decision.

    The Topic Of This Post

    • Better a free or paid template?
    • WordPress template: easy to install?
    • A theme doesn’t have to be just responsive
    • What checks to do before choosing
    • How to choose a WordPress theme

    1️⃣ Better a free or paid template?

    Better a free or paid template?

    Here the discussion could go on for years. When you ask how to choose a WordPress theme, the comparison always ends up on the rock of payment. Because there is a ton of free templates for this CMS. But when you see the portals that sell the paid themes, the so-called premiums, you understand that there is a clear difference.

    How to choose a free WordPress theme.

    A free blog imposes limits on creativity and functionality, the same goes for the theme: if you install a free solution, you risk finding yourself with an inflexible reality. For example, what do you do if you need a landing page often after having …for your services? And a magazine-style homepage? Sure, you can use plugins but at this point, you start directly from a professional and paid theme.

    buy a good WordPress template

    Often it’s all about unnecessary aesthetics and extra functionality. If you ask me where to turn your attention, I suggest you buy a good WordPress template. Firstly because the expense is not astronomical (usually around 50 euros) and then you have to consider the quality of the product.

    2️⃣ WordPress template: easy to install?

    WordPress template: easy to install?

    This is a problem. You look at the list of paid themes and let yourself be attracted by the most beautiful, the one that shows you a spectacular demo. You look at it and imagine your name at the top: you are the king of the internet.

    You buy it, you install it and you end up with an ugly, awkward, slow blog. Often the difference between what you see and what you get is staggering, which is why you need to choose a theme that is easy to install and manage. Otherwise, you have to foresee an additional investment in terms of development and web.

    Of course, there is usually always a small modification to be made or an adaptation to be put in place. I am usually skeptical of themes that mainly sell aesthetics.

    Often they are the house of cards, they never render as they are shown and add a lot of code by weighing down the structure. Then, are you sure that all this is usable on a mobile phone?

    3️⃣ A theme doesn’t have to be just responsive

    We start from the responsive template to point towards the mobile-friendly. Indeed, this concept risks being misleading since today we consider first what happens on smartphones.

    This happens because, in many cases, visits from mobile phones and tablets exceed those from desktops and the mobile-first index has revealed the Google cards: the search engine looks first at the version for mobile phones and then at that of fixed computers. This means a lot for those who have to choose a theme.

    What does it mean, however, for design? In the first place, it is not enough to be responsive, a clear passage for several years already. The theme must favor usability, accessibility, and good fruition.

    But also functions related to conversions, such as those that end thanks to forms for sending email, product carts, and reservations. Evaluate some points concerning mobile:

    • Distance of the elements from the buttons to facilitate the tap.
    • Readability of the text: paragraphs, fonts, line spacing, bolds.
    • Clickability of links: visibility of anchor text is the set of clickable words used in a link to link one web page to another. An example of anchor text The anchor text … on the display.
    • Website speed even under 3G conditions.

    This last point is very important. There are many indications regarding possible purchases related to SEO-friendly WordPress themes, with particular optimizations for search engines. My take: Make sure it’s fast, lean, and light. This is the most important thing to consider, you will have to fight for a fast website and it is crucial to start on the right foot.

    Lightweight WP template examples

    Lightweight WP template examples

    Just do a quick online search of the best fast WordPress themes to get the answer: Genesis FrameWork is one of the reference points for those looking for quick templates to load.

    There are other names to remember such as Pillar and DIVI which offers a great visual composer for creating landing page style pages to improve conversions. Even the Newspaper, which I choose for My Social Web, gives good results. Plus it has good customizations.

    An example of a fast WordPress theme: Genesis.

    WordPress theme: Genesis

    Among the solutions to remember I can mention POFO, a WordPress theme designed to load in minimal time. Simplicity reigns supreme in this template that offers several opportunities to customize and enhance your web experience. Now the choice is all yours, what do you prefer.

    4️⃣ What checks to do before choosing

    I have a small checklist to follow when I find myself in the situation of installing a template for a blog or website. These are not very technical steps, but they allow me to proceed with some peace of mind. How to choose a professional WordPress theme?

    First, I get a blog that has already installed the template that I have selected and I check:

    ✔️How it performs on the Google Mobile Test.

    ✔️What speed it presents on Pagespeed Insight.

    ✔️Do you already have the possibility to insert Rich Snippets?

    ✔️Is there any solution to edit page templates?

    ✔️What do online reviews say about the topic?

    ✔️Do a Google search: is the author known?

    ✔️Is support active? Does it answer questions?

    What checks to do before choosing

    Of course, not everything can be extracted from these ideas. For example, the speed of the site does not depend only on the theme but, excluding other factors, you can understand if it is a template that affects this parameter. Maybe you can get help from a webmaster to get some clear answers.

    5️⃣ How to choose a WordPress theme

    How to choose a WordPress theme

    In my opinion, the concept is clear: you must be willing to carefully evaluate your needs. If you need a personal, undemanding insurance blog template, head over to free themes.

    Otherwise, go for professional solutions but without letting the fashion sirens catch your attention. The risk of taking home a poor product is just around the corner.

    A wrong choice risks burdening the blog, and this is not the best. Do you agree with my point of view? Do you have questions about how to choose a WordPress team? Any other tips? Leave everything in the comments, let’s address the topic.

    Best e-commerce WordPress themes of 2021

    What better way to buy stuff than from the comfort of your own sofa… or bed? Online shopping has revolutionised the way we consume, but why let Amazon grab all the profits? If you’ve got an online business idea, now’s probably the best time to get started, and if you’re using the popular website builder and web hosting solution that is WordPress, then we’ve gathered round five impressive e-commerce themes to help you hit the ground running.

    Astra

    Astra (Image credit: Astra)

    1. Astra

    A very popular theme with an impressible number of option to create your ideal store

    Reasons to buy

    +Fast+Highly customizable+Great e-commerce options

    Astra is a very popular WordPress theme. They recently celebrated their one millionth active install, which is no small feat. It’s designed to work with various page builders such as Elementor, Beaver Builder, Brizy and Gutenberg, and comes as a free and paid for version, but if you’re looking for e-commerce features, you have to go pro.

    Some of the sales-friendly features unique to the pro version include Infinite Scroll so your products load dynamically as the visitor scrolls down the page, Off-Canvas Sidebar, an ideal place to incorporate filters and widgets to make finding what your customer is looking for quicker and easier, and multiple Checkout Options, to customise the layout to suit you and your users’ needs, such as two-step checkout, or distraction-free checkout for instance.

    The customisation options are quite impressive, all without having to delve into code; you can alter the layout, the typography, even turn off the title page and sidebar if you want to. And best of all, Astra is advertised as a fast responsive theme, meaning it’ll load fast to keep your visitors on your site.

    Astra offers three different plans, starting with Astra Pro, currently for $47 per year (or $249 for a one-time fee), right up to $249 a year for Growth Bundle (or $699 for a one-time fee).

    Flatsome

    Flatsome (Image credit: Flatsome)

    2. Flatsome

    Flatsome will help you create elegant e-commerce sites with little effort and no coding experience

    Reasons to buy

    +Easy to customize+Loads of options

    The main focus of Flatsome is on e-commerce and this theme is designed to not only be easy to use for your visitors, but also to create and maintain for yourself. Alterations are done via its UX Builder which offers you a live preview as you make your changes. You can for instance, mix and match headers, pages, colours and fonts using the Theme Option Panel. It’s extremely versatile, allowing you to change any aspect of the page to suit your requirements with drag and drop ease. Such power makes it easy to alter the numerous available templates to create a store that is unique and ideally suited to the products you have on offer. As with Astra above, it boasts fast loading times for an enhanced visitor experience.

    Getting Flatsome will cost you $59 which includes future updates, and 6 months of support. You can extend that support by a further 6 months for an additional $17.63.

    Porto

    Porto (Image credit: Porto)

    3. Porto

    A simple theme with enough customisation options to help your store stand out

    Reasons to buy

    +Good value+Responsive+SEO-ready

    Porto is an e-commerce-specific theme, and comes with over 30 different layouts to help you configure your store to best showcase your products. Of course, if this doesn’t suit, you can always use the theme’s page builder straight from your WordPress Dashboard.

    There’s a good variety of layouts on offer, along with sidebars, sliders and shop category pages. As you’d expect, it’s a fully responsive website so your visitors can purchase what they want from the comfort of their computer or portable device.

    The price is very competitive: only $59 for a licence (as with Flatsome, you can purchase an additional 6 months of support for $17.63). However this price also includes two premium plugins, WP Bakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution, which makes the deal even sweeter.

    Shopkeeper

    4. Shopkeeper

    A good theme to help novices and pro alike to set up an online store and start selling products

    Reasons to buy

    +Easy customizability+Good looking theme

    Shopkeeper is a very well received e-commerce-focused WordPress theme. It comes with good looking templates which you can use straight away as is, or as the starting point for a more customised experience. Like all the others on this list, there’s no need for coding experience to create an online store – shopkeeper takes care of it all for you in the background. There are many options to your page’s layout. You could for instance have an on-screen or off-screen sidebar, organise your products by categories, choose how many items to display per row or page, allow for variables, digital downloads, affiliate links, set items on sale, or list them as out of stock. Everything you’d expect, really.

    As it’s a WordPress theme, you can also populate your site with bios and contact information, and Shopkeeper even comes with three different blog layouts, should you wish to entice your customers with some juicy tidbits of information.

    As with Flatsome and Porto above, Shopkeeper will cost you $59, which includes all future updates and six months of support (with a $17.63 add-on to keep your access to support for an additional six months).

    WoonderShop

    5. WoonderShop

    A very mobile-friendly theme designed to get you selling, no matter which device your site is viewed on

    Reasons to buy

    +Good features+Nice UI

    Although WooderShop advertises itself as a “mobile-first” e-commerce theme, that doesn’t mean to say its experience on a desktop isn’t on par. On the contrary, accessing a store built with this theme works great on any platform. Although it does make sense to focus on mobile, since this is the way more and more people shop these days, and making the experience there feel flawless is crucial to a successful business plan.

    The loading speed benchmarks are impressive, and being SEO ready will help you stay competitive. We really liked the sandbox feature on offer to let you try the theme for free for seven days (no credit card required). This is a great way to explore the product and determine if the features it offers are right for you and your business. WoodersShop is full of nice little features, like a cross-selling widget to encourage your customers to get additional related products, a real-time filtering option, an signup form which can be linked to an email provider such as MailChimp, and a translation-ready interface to boot.

    You can buy WooderShop for $79 which allows you to install it on a single site and includes six months of support. Alternatively, there’s also the option to join the “Proteus Club” for $149 per year, which grants you access to all of Proteus’ 21 themes, which you can apply to an unlimited number of website, and also gain unlimited support.
