If you are thinking of starting a work from home business, you are going to need a professional looking website. You can spend the money to have one professionally made for you, or you can build your own.
If you have one made, you will probably need to know how to write HTML or some from of coding, to make any changes to your website. If not, you may have to pay to someone to make those changes.
Or, you need a platform that is easy to use, that does not require any knowledge of HTML, or any other coding system, to make changes to your website.
Also, your website needs to have search engine optimization built into it. A professionally built website may not have this feature, because they will be more concerned with the layout and graphics.
Some affiliate programs will offer a free website to join. The only thing bad about that is, everyone that joins the program will get the same website. So you will need to make many changes to make yours unique.
In this review, I will be looking at the Socrates Theme.
The Socrates theme is a premium theme built for use with the WordPress blogging platform. A premium WP theme means that it does much more than the basics – color, sidebar, widgets, etc. Most premium themes are not free, as is the case with the Socrates Theme.
The theme is very versatile, it can be used to build blogs and static websites. There are many, many Internet marketers who use this theme for their websites, including myself. And, it is very easy to monetize your blog or website.
Socrates is built to be very user friendly. There is no mystery on how to maximize search engine optimization. Socrates asks for the important information. This means that someone with little or no experience with online marketing, can take advantage of the different marketing methods already proven to work. It is a beautifully designed theme, that gives everyone the opportunity to make some money online, both for the hard core professional online marketers and those just starting a work from home business.

Socrates just had a major update, so these will be reflected here.
Layout
* In the layout section, you have a choice of 7 different layouts.
* You will add your Website Title, Website Description, and Keywords.
* You can add your Clickbank ID and Google Analytics.
* You can add In Post Ad.
* You have a monetization bar, where you can add up to 3 banners.
* You can add your social networking links.
* And lastly, you can add custom products, if you have any.
Navigation
* You have a top navigation (above the header), commonly used of “about” and “contact” pages.
* A primary navigation (below the header), for the different pages of your website.
* Then you have the left and right navigation (below the content), usually for your copyright and privacy policies.
Styling
* You can use Custom CSS.
* Set your color schemes
Header
* Enter your header text (website title and description).
* Select a header from the preloaded collection, or upload your own header.
Background
*You can load your own background image, or choice from a selection of background color patterns.
So What does it cost, you may be asking? There are a few different pricing options.
Single Domain – $47
This option is for the person that only has one website and does not intend on using the theme on any other site in the future.
Unlimited Domain License – $77
This is the most economical option since it can be used on as many websites as you own.
User License Packs of 10 – $197
This option is for the website developer to use for “website flipping” and allows them to get licenses for clients at a reduced rate.
Right now they are offering a 7 day free trial – NO credit card required.
IMPORTANT -
Socrates is for personal use only, except of option #3 above. So, if you decide to sell your website later, you will need to change the theme and remove the Socrates theme from the theme options of WordPress.
The Socrates theme is a better value over other premium themes, which can run over $100 more than Socrates.
Two of the most common comments I receive on my Socrates themed websites are: “What theme are you using?” or “I really like your theme.”
I highly recommend the Socrates theme for anyone thinking of starting a work from home business, and even those that have owned home businesses for a while. As a complete newbie to building a website, I was able to build a website in a matter of a few minutes. You do not have to know, or learn, HTML or any type of coding. And the final product looks very professional.
