Glossary / Theme

Theme

A theme controls how a WordPress site looks: fonts, colors, layout and often a pile of features.

Commercial themes try to suit everyone, so they ship everything. Sliders, icon packs, animation libraries. Your site loads all of it whether you use it or not.

Themes get abandoned. When the developer stops updating one, the site stops getting fixes and eventually breaks on a new WordPress release.

Think Bright Sites has no theme to update. A look is baked into your page as plain styling. There is nothing underneath it that can go out of date.
