    Hi There,

    I am creating a site that is going to revolve around fresh/informative content in a specific niche and I am struggling to choose the right theme for it. I am fairly new to StudioPress but so far I have purchased the Balance and Agency themes. I am sort of leaning towards Balance due to the simplicity of it, but I feel that Agency could easily be altered to be just as minimal and clean cut. Any opinions/suggestions would be much appreciated!

    If there is a theme other than Balance or Agency that you would suggest I would love to hear it.

    Look forward to your replies!

    Cheers,
    Tyler

    Well, in my opinion - it really depends on what your niche is. Possibly look at other niche sites similar to what you want to construct and that would give you some idea. Sometimes, you might select one thing and get started. Then you see a niche similar to yours and you want to add in a few of the same things. However, you find that the theme you selected doesn't really provide the space, areas in order to do it. So I would investigate other niche sites to see what others are doing and this will help you pick out a theme and your own structure.
