Choosing a theme - identifying features for a great user experience
Details
Hi WordPress website builders!
We've all had great and not-so-great experiences when interacting with websites. Whether researching a question, looking for resources or preparing to make a purchase, we bookmark and/or share the well designed sites that deliver a pleasant experience.
The most important trend for website builders is the increase in visitor traffic from mobile devices.
From SearchEngineLand's report on the SMX West 2014 conference (http://searchengineland.com/10-key-takeaways-meet-search-engines-smx-west-186903):
#1 – Mobile Will Soon Dominate. Google's head of webspam team Matt Cutts opened with a quick laundry list of updates which included the fact that the mobile “switchover” may happen this year. This means that the majority of organic search traffic to websites will be mobile, not desktop originated.
For the April WordPress meet-up in Temple Terrace, we'll talk about choosing a theme for your WordPress website or blog that factors in this mobile trend. And we'll have some discussion about coding, theme developers and community support forums.
Best,
Elizabeth
