These days, image is everything. A website in need of a strong, impressive visual presence will not hold a visitor’s interest long. Recent trends in web design favor immense high-resolution background images.<\/p>\n

BoldGrid makes it easy to integrate this kind of style into your WordPress site with virtually no effort at all. This is an easy goal to accomplish for business people and an effective time-saver for WordPress-savvy developers.<\/p>\n

This is important because your BoldGrid theme will have a default theme background<\/strong> image after you have gone through the inspirations process<\/a>. You may want to replace that image or use a pattern with a background color. This article tells you how to make those changes.<\/p>\n

Now you can quickly and easily swap and customize background images, patterns, and colors for your theme right from the WordPress customizer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
