What is a WordPress template and how do you use it?

A **WordPress template** is a set of files that determine the structure and appearance of your website. They allow you to design your site quickly and efficiently, without having to write code from scratch. Internal elements such as headers, footers, page layouts and colour schemes are already defined, speeding up the creation process and allowing you to focus on the content.

Choosing the right template

When I start work on a new website, I try to carefully analyse my client's needs and goals. Having a template tailored to the specifications of the business is key. In Poznan, I've noticed a growing interest in the e-commerce industry, which requires some unique features like shopping cart support. In such cases, I recommend proven e-commerce templates that are optimised for online sales.

WordPress template customisation

The templates offer many possibilities for personalisation. This allows them to be tailored to your company's unique style and colour scheme. I recommend paying attention to these aspects:

• Choice of colours: Matching the colours of the website to the company's corporate identity.
• Typography: A selection of fonts that are legible and match the style of the website.
• Layout: Ability to change page layout, add and remove sections.

Integration with plug-ins and tools

WordPress templates work well with a variety of plugins that can extend their functionality. In my day-to-day work, I often recommend plugins to my clients for SEO, integration with analytics tools and marketing automation. Here are a few that I recommend:

• Yoast SEO: Helps to optimise content for search engines.
• WooCommerce: The ideal plug-in for online shops.
• Google Analytics for WordPress: Monitoring user traffic and behaviour on the website.

Optimisation and management of resources

An important aspect of working with **WordPress templates** is optimisation, which has a positive impact on the loading speed and performance of the site. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Image compression: Reduce the size of image files without losing quality.
• Use of cache: Saving static versions of pages, which speeds up their display.
• CSS and JS minification: Reducing the size of style and script files by removing unnecessary characters.

Case study: Successful website in Poznan

An example of success is one local company from Poznan, who, using my services, went through the full process of creating and personalising a website based on a **WordPress template**. After carefully identifying their needs, I selected the template best suited to their industry. The personalisation included both visual elements and integration with the necessary plugins.

After optimising the site, implementing plugins and setting up SEO, the number of visits increased by 150% and the conversion rate increased by 30%. This clearly shows the importance of a professional approach to the use of ** WordPress templates**.
