How to Choose a Theme for Your Membership Site?

1. Choose the type of membership site – Course/ blog style etc.

Based on your membership site, you will need to check the features that a specific theme has.

Many themes are very good at displaying static information, but not good when you try to display the information in a blog form.

One very good example for that is OptimizePress 2.0 which is an excellent theme for online courses, but not that suitable for blogs (if you want to build your landing pages in OptimizePress and still have another theme on your website, you can use the OP plugin instead of the theme.

2.Adapt your theme colors and design to your brand

Although many themes allow to configure and change the theme colors using special control panel, some themes are limited to specific colors that are not suitable for your business of brand.

Choose a theme that will create the same look and feel as your other communication materials.

3. Theme blocks and flexibility

Every website is different in the information that you need to display to your customers.

Although many themes are suitable for almost all kinds of websites, before choosing the right theme for your membership site, do a quick sketch of your website’s design and the elements that you want to display on every page type.

Choose the theme that can help you to create the design closest to the one you sketched
