Bitcoin Blockchain WordPress Web Design Implementation

The first step in determining how to best implement bitcoin and blockchain technology in WordPress web design is to study the currently available applications. No sense in reinventing the wheel. We’ll make custom changes to existing applications where needed.

Let’s first have a look at themes.

3 Best Bitcoin Cryptocurrency WordPress Themes

Many themes can become great cryptocurrency websites with the right plugins and a little elbow grease.

I chose the below themes because they are already tightly focused on cryptocurrency. Some of the criteria considered is design appearance, built-in cryptocurrency features, pre-built cryptocurrency content, sales, reviews and comments.

All themes have drag & drop page builders, and are well suited for novice web designers or bloggers to create their own content and design customizations.

These premium themes are rather bloated with all the bells and whistles which can be challenging to keep page load times fast. Another option is to choose a more nimble and fast loading theme, using only the plugins needed. We will address this in the plugin section below.

1. Crypton Theme

Crypton is a multi-purpose cryptocurrency WordPress theme with four different website demos  1) cryptocurrency blog   2) online magazine  3) cryptocurrency ecommerce store or  4) cryptocurrency coaching website.

The authors boast that the theme is ideal for cryptocurrency blog, bitcoin blog, cryptocoach, cryptocurrency accessories shop, online magazine, crypto coach, blockchain specialist, financial advisor, business consultant, mining equipment sellers

The magazine demo is for those publishing content at high frequency or working with multiple writers.

The coaching demo is for cryptocurrency courses and training products. It has a membership area to your site where your visitors can  use integrated features to book a coaching call with you to learn more about cryptocurrencies.

The ecommerce demo is for selling cryptocurrency products, such as hardware wallets and computer hardware for mining rigs.

These demos include the ecommerce functionality needed to accept payments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies of your choice.
