The best style or theme is useless in and of itself. It can be a good start. It's the execution of that style or theme, that makes it pop. Or not.
Here's a hint for folks: If a style, right out of the box, loads 1mb or more on browsers the style is too fat. This isn't counting your own added images and Mods and stuff - this is just the style itself. You can pretty much tell this by the byte size of the files, for the style.
If our load time is large but everything on the website is nessisary, how do we get it ro run faster. do we need a bigger server or something?
