Why Your WordPress Theme or Template Should Be Niche Specific
August 17th, 2009
Here at WordPressalicious, we try to provide as many free, niche-specific WordPress themes as possible. Why? Because successful blogs serve niches, and highly successful blogs use layouts with illustrations and design elements related to the niche or topic. With the millions of bloggers currently typing away online, you need simple, effective ways to stand out from the crowd. Niche-specific design can indeed make the difference between you and your competition.
Since most WordPress users take advantage of the free WordPress themes and layouts available on the web, you often find niche blogs that look like they could be about anything at all. That can hurt when you are competing with other comparable blogs in a competitive niche. Sometimes your WordPress layout will speak volumes about your credibility, even above and beyond your content. While useful, relevant content is always the most important thing, you want to package it as professionally and as creatively as you can. That’s why huge corporations invest so much time and money in branding and even packaging – no matter what anyone tells you, is does make a difference.
So, if you can’t afford to get a custom WordPress theme for your blog (which really is the best option), at least grab one that is built to visually accommodate your blog topic. WordPressalicious is here to provide those kinds of themes, and they are all created by our founder and in-house designer, I.C. Jackson.
So, browse and enjoy!

I am glad I came across your website. Many of the other free theme sites looked very generic and it took too much time to convert it to a niche blog. Your themes are very relavent.
Thank you for the kind words
