Looking for a selection of perfect feminine WordPress themes? Look no further! I’m sharing my theme-to-theme-to-theme experience that led me to the perfect WordPress theme for my website. You’ll get there too, I promise!

[disclosure]

But first, let me tell you the hard truth:

You have MERE SECONDS to make a good impression on your viewers and keep them on your website. 

If it’s ugly, hard to navigate, dated or simply looks unprofessional, you will have a hard time getting people to stick around. What is your bounce rate? If your website isn’t visually appealing, I bet it’s pretty high.

Instead of being cheap and trying to cut corners, save yourself some time and frustration and find a beautiful feminine WordPress theme that will hook your viewers from the second they get to your website.

Don’t have a website yet? You’ll need that before purchasing a theme.

First Impressions Matter More Than You Realize

If you want to connect with your viewer from the start and keep them on your website, you need a beautiful feminine WordPress theme that shows that you mean business and are serious about what you have to offer. You don’t want to look like just “another blogger”. You need your viewers to feel all of the feels when the land on your site. This is the first step to gaining trust. When people trust you, they’re more likely to buy from you if and when you have a product to offer.

Life Before My Beautiful Feminine WordPress Theme

I was just like you. When I first started blogging, I started with a free theme. It was SO limiting! For the life of me, I couldn’t make it look how I wanted. And I’m no dummy when it comes to tech. I have YEARS of digital marketing experience and have been fiddling around on computers since I was 7. With this free theme, I got zero support. I was spending more time trying to figure out how to make the theme look like I wanted it to than I was able to even write content for my blog. That is NOT what you want to be spending your time on when starting a business.

After wasting hours on that theme and struggling just to get nowhere, I decided to purchase a theme. It was $18. I had the same issues with this theme, although the support was a little better. It did take the maker of the theme a few days to get back to me and his instructions weren’t the best. Here’s the thing – you get what you pay for and I got about $18 worth.

Again, I was spending too much time trying to make my website look decent instead of creating content.

It was frustrating.

I kept seeing other bloggers with beautiful websites that looked like they were custom designed by a professional designer. But they weren’t! They were built with beautiful feminine WordPress themes created especially for female bloggers and business owners. I had to find the perfect one.

The Best Feminine WordPress Themes

It wasn’t until I came across BluChic themes that I felt 100% happy with the way my website looked. (I use Victoria by BluChic Themes in case you are wondering.) Once I spotted this theme and saw it in use, I knew it was the perfect fit. I immediately purchased it and could barely wait to install it and make it my own.

The best thing about the feminine WordPress themes from BluChic is that they are so easy to customize. You can change the colors, fonts, styles and more to reflect your own unique branding.

Their feminine themes are perfect for bloggers, coaches, virtual assistants, or shop owners. All of the themes are e-commerce ready, and come with step-by-step instructions and tutorial videos that make setting up your brand new website super easy! I was able to set my new theme up in a few hours on a Saturday.

Less time wasted = more time I could spend growing the thing!

All of the feminine WordPress themes from Bluchic are designed to help female entrepreneurs create a beautiful & professional website that shows off all you have to offer, without hiring a designer and with zero tech skills.

They all have a built-in newsletter sign up form that is easy to hook into just about any mail service provider. Build your email list with ease and grow your subscribers quickly with any of their themes.

Adding Landing Pages to Your Feminine WordPress Theme

Even though I had found the perfect theme, I still wanted even more flexibility to build my own custom pages. For example, my Services page and my Shop pages are completely custom built outside of the theme itself.

I have built a few custom landing pages as well that give me pretty high conversions for all of my opt-in freebies and even paid courses:

Free Pinterest Pin Template landing page
Graphic Design Mini Course landing page 

I was able to easily whip these pages up in just a few hours using one of my FAVORITE plugins, Thrive Architect. I am completely OBSESSED with Thrive Architect for quickly building just about any custom page you’ll ever need on your own website! It’s 100% drag and drop which means you don’t have to have ANY html knowledge or coding skills

So, you need a landing page do ya? Sweet. I’ve been creating landing pages that generate tons of leads for my business and I feel like I knew about landing pages before they were even a real “thing.”

[disclosure]

What is a Landing Page?

A landing page is basically a trap for your website visitors. It is a page on your website that has one goal, and that is to turn visitors into leads.

A landing page is a page where visitors “land” (hence the term landing page) and is a highly efficient webpage that makes it a million times easier to capture email addresses, make a sale or get people to sign up for a course or waitlist.

Check out this example of the landing page I created for my graphic design mini-course.

The idea is, is that if you get people to a page with no other distractions than to do what you want them to do, there’s a high likely hood they will do it. Especially if your landing page is targeted and has compelling copy and images. Most landing pages have a conversion rate of 20% – 40% and of course, your goal should always be to increase that number.

Why do you need a Landing Page?

You need landing pages because you want to grow your blog or business. Landing pages are perfect for doing that. You can offer things like guides, ebooks, courses or various other kinds of freebies that are valuable, and of course free for your audience. I see my email list grow at a much faster pace since I have implemented a landing page for my free graphic design course. Before having a landing page, I was getting a few subscribers a week, and now I am getting multiple subscribers a day. Get your visitors to your landing page, offer them something they can’t refuse and watch your email list explode.

How to Create a Landing Page

Now that we know what a landing page is and why you need one let’s get into how you’re going to create yours. I have used my fair share of landing page builders and one, in particular, is BY FAR a winner in my book.

I have used Leadpages, Confus…I mean Infusionsoft, Visual Composer, and my all-time favorite landing page builder Thrive Architect. I am so in love with this plugin that I have no desire ever to use anything else and would recommend it to my best friend time and time again. Thrive Architect is the most intuitive sales and landing page builder I’ve come across, and I can promise you that you will be building beautiful, high-converting landing pages in no time.

Unlike other landing page builders, Thrive Architect is super affordable for what you get. It is a one time $67 charge. That’s it!  If you’re in the “I need a landing page” phase, most likely you don’t have a steady income stream. (You’ll get there, I promise. Especially with Thrive Architect.) So this plugin is perfect for you.

Using Thrive Architect to Build a Landing Page

Installing the plugin is simple. Purchase the license from their website, download and install the plug into your WordPress website by uploading the .zip file, activate the plugin, and then activate your license. That will take you all of 10 minutes. After that, you’re ready to create some fantastic landing pages!
