WordPress Themes
WordPress is by far the best platform to use when getting started. They have so many free templates you can choose from. Templates allow you to change the colors and look of the site to match your own. Go to this link to get started shopping for which theme or themes fit your brand best. Check out their food blog themes here. We recommend WordPress.com over .org since .com is more designed for companies.
Themes we Use
We use the Genesis theme for our blog. It has been the most stable framework for our site. It’s very efficient, customizable and reliable. Genesis has been theme we’ve stayed with all of these years. You can review Genesis options here:
Foodie Pro
Foodie Pro is a child theme of the Genesis framework. We started out with this theme and it looks great on both desktop and mobile. It has a nice way to feature images and include handy search your website bar that you can include on top of the home page on mobile. You can check out the foodie pro theme here:
Cook’d Pro
This is the template used for Wifemamafoodie. We really love how well you can focus on the photos. It includes a nice hero photo feature at the top of each blog post. You can choose from you pictures which one you’d like to feature up top. We switched from Foodie pro to the Cook’d Pro and it was the best move for us. You can check out Cook’d Pro here:
