If you’re a photographer and you want to showcase your work on the Internet, the WordPress platform is your best choice to create a shiny website.
The next step is to choose a purpose-built photography theme that allows you to easily upload and present your photos in a way that captivates your audience.
Portfolio WordPress themes are a special kind of theme, because they need to serve a very specific purpose. The emphasis is often on visual aspects, and perhaps not so much on things like page speed, technical setup, and minimalist design.
I’ve had a look at a large number of portfolio based websites across a wide range of niches and industries, to identify design trends, common features and technical capabilities.
There is still a strong market for WordPress themes that have a feminine touch. Themes that don’t just look girly, but also have a professional user interface and come with a wide range of useful features.
I’ve had a look at 100 WordPress sites with a strong feminine focus, and analyzed their themes from a technical and usability perspective. I then asked my partner to analyze these sites from a design and UX perspective.
If you’ve read my review of GeneratePress, then you know I’m a big fan of this WordPress theme. It’s fast, it’s super customizable, and most importantly, it’s as robust as it gets.
One question I get asked quite a lot is how to actually add the Google Analytics tracking code in GeneratePress.
If you have affiliate links in your website, such as Amazon Associates product links, you are legally required to disclose that to your readers.
In this article I am going to explain how you can easily add a disclosure statement at the top of your blog posts in your WordPress blog in 3 simple steps.
It’s no secret that WordPress websites attract tons of spam comments, comments that often make no sense whatsoever.
A reputable anti-spam plugin such as Akismet does a really good job at filtering these out, so that you don’t need to waste your time moderating them.
But WordPress websites, especially the ones with a decent level of accumulated authority, also attract comments that aren’t necessarily spam.
Lots of WordPress bloggers recently have been asking how to redirect their author archives link to their About page.
By default, a blog post author link will point to the author archives page, which doesn’t add much value to the reader when there’s only one author on the site.
I’m an affiliate marketer by trade, it’s what I enjoy doing most. Affiliate marketing is definitely not for everyone, but I love it as it involves skills that I am passionate about, such as SEO, keyword research, competitor analysis and sales copy writing.
Over the years, I’ve built several niche affiliate sites, some more successful than others. One of the most important aspects of building and growing an affiliate site is finding the right WordPress theme.
GeneratePress is a free, lightweight theme that can be extended by installing a premium plugin that allows you to add essential features.
One of the many things you can do with the GP premium plugin is using Hook Elements to “hook” your own custom code into various areas of the theme without changing core theme files.
