Default Wordpress Theme for Newbie User
Hello there,

I am in the process of transferring my domain name to bluehost and I am considering using Wordpress to re-build my site, can anybody recommend and business looking theme that even a newbie like me in Wordpress, can customize?

Thanks.

Ivette

There is a free WordPress theme "Atahualpa" and is very customizable. It allows header, SEO, widgets, width, columns, etc. Try http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/atahualpa.

I purchased my theme from www.themeforest.com.....it was $30, which I felt was very reasonable. There's definitely a learning curve in customizing, but it's doable.

There are an overwhelming number of free wordpress themes - search on free wordpress themes and you will find them.

I'm actually considering buying the Thesis DIY Theme because I've heard such wonderful things about how easy it is to work with and what great support they have for it. Has anyone here used it?

Thanks,
Sandra
