Imagine, you visit a home decor store, the salesman would invite you in and persuade you to check out a product in their ambient surroundings. The complete decor and surroundings will be designed to highlight the product. The salesman would try to get across to you on why you should buy the product from their store and not from the store across the road.
All this, that the salesman does, your website should be able to do in a few seconds after a new visitor opens it!
Your website should be able to do enough for the visitor to stick around, or else, everything is lost. According to one Kissmetric report, 94% of the visitors position visuals and appearances above other factors while shopping.
Drupal themes serve an ideal experience for this purpose along with the customer’s taste. You can use the best themes from the pack without slowing down your website or losing the color scheme.
