Deciding which Wordpress Platform

[Giorgio68]

Hey Guys, I am trying to choose which is the best platform to use to build my website.

I have had a look at the following:

1. studiopress
2. thesis
3. headway
4. woothemes

I've just spent a month building a website using the WIX platform only to find out that it's not SEO friendly, so before I start a new site, I just want to make sure I choose the BEST SEO FRIENDLY theme.

If someone could please assist that would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I already have paid for theme subscriptions to the following sites (before I joined SEOMOZ)

are the following SEO friendly?

1. https://www.elegantthemes.com/
2. http://www.templatemonster.com/
3. http://www.templatesold.com/

Thanks so much in advance

Elegant Themes I am using and I shall surely says its SEO friendly.

Thesis theme is one of the best that I recommend.Looks simple but you can do a lot of awesome stuff in it.

Hi George,

I can vouch for Thesis as very SEO friendly. I don't go outside the thesis framework very often as a result.

Nowadays most theme issues can be fixed with Yoast's SEO plugin but every theme has 1 or 2 things that aren't ideal, even Thesis.

I can't comment specifically on studiopress, headway, or woothemes, but I have found that most of the larger theme developers are decent.

Studiopress would be a great choice. And, as I'm sure you've read by now, Yoast's SEO Plugin is a must.
