Choosing a theme for your website

A website's theme sets its tone. It gives you some sense of what the site is about, even if you haven't read the text. When you see pictures of people in dark suits sitting before computer monitors, for example, you associate the website with some kind of a professional outfit. But if you see pictures of butterflies, playhouses, and bright color schemes, a children's organization of some sort comes to mind.

Office Live Small Business sets the tone of your website by displaying a picture in the site's header. The picture and its physical setting constitute a Theme. The Site Designer offers a large selection of themes that are good for projecting just about any kind of organization. Offer plumbing services? You're covered. Own a garage? No problem! No matter what kind of business you own, you're likely to find a theme that will set the right ambience for your website.

Now that you understand what a theme is, let's go and choose one for your website.
