Hi there,

1st forgive the naieveity here but I am about to try do my own website for my business but know very little, having done some reasearch on domains, hosting etc I am trying to get my head around themes, which one to pick.

For most of the themes for for eg http://www.freewpthemes.net are they tweakable/customizable, lets say for instance the below theme suited the look I wanted but my businesses colour is red, is it possible/easy to switch the yellow to red. See link:

Or are the free themes all what you see is what you get and only thing you can do is insert your copy?? Sorry for the stupid question,

Regards,

Gary

if themes are GPL – most are – you can customize to your heart’s content
you can change the colors – usually in the theme’s style.css

I would not trust or use Themes from a site such as “freewpthemes.net”. Here’s why.

Try starting with a Theme from the official Theme repository instead.
