Every small business needs a good website – at least those that are looking for more clients and customers. However, not all small business owners have the time or money to invest in the process of commissioning a bespoke website.
Now though, thanks to WordPress, creating the perfect website to promote your business needn’t take long or cost much money at all. By choosing the right WordPress theme from the options below, you could have a high quality website up and running in next to no time at all.
While the idea of using an off the shelf website template might sound like it would result in a standard looking design that has been used all over the internet, this couldn’t be further from the truth. This is because many of the small business WordPress themes in this collection include multiple templates and designs, not to mention a wide variety of customization options and settings.
This all means that even if you choose a very popular theme from the collection below, there is still plenty of opportunity to build a unique website with a custom design that fully matches your brand and identity of your business. As the entire project, from installation, through to configuration and customization takes place via a user friendly interface, with no need to write any code, there is nothing stopping you from getting your new website online today.
After you’ve taken a look at the features, designs, and versatility of these WordPress themes, you’ll be left wondering why you didn’t get your website up and running sooner.

Sydney makes good use of the tried and tested long form home page layout. Which elements are included on your home page, as well as how they are ordered and configured is entirely up to you.
