If you ever find yourself wondering, “What is a WordPress theme?”, you’re not alone. Simply put, a WordPress theme modifies the design of your WordPress-powered website. Those design changes include adjustments to your display and appearance, and most of the time, some functionality aspects as well.

The average WordPress user installs a theme to minimize customization and coding efforts. Themes also bring you closer to a specific desired design, like for a restaurant or video-based website.
