    Headway Themes: Lack of Coding Skills Holding Your Blog Back

    Headway Themes: Lack of Coding Skills Holding Your Blog Back: "How Headway themes turned a blog design challenged blogger into a customization machine!"

    This article is for home based business owners and network marketers who use WordPress blogs as their primary means of business building-but who lack HTML, CSS, or PHP skills. With so much riding on your blog you really want your blog to stand out from the crowd. To be sure standing out is as much a matter of being visible in the search engine results pages as it is a matter of having a clean and aesthetically pleasing blog layout.

    But unless you pay someone to customize your WordPress blog for you these are exactly the things that you miss out on as a business blogger who lacks coding skills. As a home based business professional myself I know how important it is to have a blog that gets the job done. I also know how difficult it is to try building a blog without having any web design know-how. My lack of CSS and PHP knowledge led to me pouring tons of dollars into custom blog design work that never gave back anything in return.

    Fortunately, my lack of blog design experience no longer gets in the way of growing my online business because I've found a solution. That solution is called Headway Themes. Headway Themes is a premium third-party WordPress template platform that allows non-coders to customize the look and feel of their WordPress blogs using a drag and drop interface. So let's take a look at how Headway Themes is helping me to grow my online web presence through customizing and developing my blog-even though I lack coding experience.

    One of the things that I had a difficult time doing before purchasing the Headway Themes license was customizing my blog's appearance. Headway has made it possible for me to completely alter my blog's layout using Headway's drag and drop design editor. Drag and drop design means that instead of having to move the placement of one or all of my blog elements by using CSS I can simply point my mouse cursor to the item that I want to move or resize and drag that element with my mouse until the revised version suits my liking. Elements that Headway allows you to change or adjust using this drag and drop functionality include your header, footer, side bars, navigation, blog content, and more. Being able to change so many elements according to your preference is what allows you as a Headway Themes license holder to give your blog a look that's totally different from all of the other blogs in your niche that you compete against.
