FYI: Make sure you read the entire page before making a purchase. This theme can be customized with some code. Don’t buy if you don’t want to learn how to code (which is covered in the course that comes along with the theme).
I’m constantly asked, “what WordPress theme do you use on your sites?” My answer was always disappointing. “I design and coded it myself.”
My first WordPress theme was built in 2006. I’ve been updating the design and code of this original theme with the goal of making it super faster and user-friendly.
Each year, I add or modify code to make it easier to use. This allowed me to excel in SEO and rocket up the Google SERPs.
Many themes are actually bloated and built on top o slow frameworks or crappy plugins. It’s understandable, I know. These themes aim to appeal to all. Especially people who don’t know how to code.
Instead, I built the theme around two core beliefs.
- Trust. Your visitors will trust you if you have a great brand name and logo, as well as a website that is quick and easy to navigate.
- Ownership. This means you’re in full control of how your site looks and functions. I believe that every website owner should learn how to code. You don’t have to be a master developer, but if you know HTML and CSS you’ll be unstoppable.
This theme doesn’t use a bunch of bloated code to make it easy for non-coders to edit. I instead added a simple settings page. You can edit the code using only HTML/CSS directly within WordPress.And if you’re trying to rank in Google, this theme puts SEO at its core. Installing the Carbonate theme is a great place to start if you’re looking to build a super-fast site to rank in Google. It’s also great if you’re looking to start over.
This theme has stood the test of time. And I know it’ll be a great foundation for your brand and allow you to stand the test of time.
