Building a Niche site is the most efficient way to promote Amazon products. Working your way through “Niche Sites” takes a lot of research for the keywords, the content you are going to offer your readers. But along with content, you need a perfect CMS and theme for your niche website to create a visual appeal.
To create an ideal Amazon niche site, just make sure it’s simple for readers to navigate and interact with your contents. WordPress is by far most popular content management system (CMS) to have at your disposal to achieve this goal.
WordPress allows you to make a personalized, professional looking site without expensive web design software and services. Through hundreds of plugins and theme choices, you will be able to add dozens of functions and unique looks.
When it comes to themes, using the default WordPress theme leaves you with a limited palette for creating excellent reader experiences and impressions.
By investing in a professionally developed WordPress theme, you can appeal to your audiences through the content, the visuals of the site. In the process, strengthen your niche site loading speed, search engine ranking, page view, conversion rate and finally profit!
Things To Consider
No theme exist that will fulfill all of your Amazon niche site requirements. You need to do some customizations by adding plugins, setting up unique widgets and related stuffs.
Ultimately, you will want to use themes that will provide you with the most simplistic front-end design, clean in look, light weight pages, and functions required to run a magazine type site that will fit into your budget.
I’ve done a lot of research on the best WordPress themes for my niche site projects, and now writing this content to save you countless research hours. Allow me to help you find the theme that will get you the most “Bang for your Buck”, and help you take your Amazon niche site to the next level!
Themes I’ve used Personally and Recommend
I have tried a lot of WordPress themes in my projects before. But most of the themes failed to fulfill my requirements. However, some of them worked fine, and I’m using them on my niche sites now.
Authority Azon
AuthorityAzon is now my # 1 choice while building an Amazon niche site. The theme is created by Tung Tran from Cloud Living.
AuthorityAzon has been getting a lot of attention lately for its impressive affiliate options. Tung Tran seemed confident claiming to have created the “last WordPress theme you’ll ever need”. AuthorityAzon actually has the features to help back up their exuberant claims.
You know which is the most tedious task for Amazon affiliates? It’s generating affiliate links from Amazon associate dashboard and pasting it to post, AuthorityAzon makes this frustrating task simple!
All you have to do is put in a product’s ASIN, click “Get Data,” and the impressive theme option will retrieve all sorts of relevant information, such as product specifications, prices, ratings, and reviews.
Focusing more on user navigation than visual flair, AuthorityAzon provides a user-centric theme. With a wonderfully intuitive advance filter for searching products available on a page, and a useful comparison chart feature built in, your readers should have no problem finding the exact product they’ve been looking for.
This intuitive quality will help your page acquire more conversion rate and boost the reputation of your brand.
Just because AuthorityAzon is focused on user navigation and CTR, however, does not mean it ignores visual appeal. With tons of customization options, you can strike the balance between “Aesthetics” and “User-friendliness”.
Perhaps, the greatest strength of the AuthorityAzon theme is its intuitive back-end the enable users to make required changes to Amazon niche sites.
Features I love
- Automatic product price import and update through Amazon product advertising API
- Import product specifications from Amazon automatically and show visitors
- Ideally placed conversion rate optimization buttons
- Brand-wise and type wise product search
- Ability to sort out products based on price
- Amazon link localization

Your Turn
There is no direct answer on what theme you should choose. I use all of the themes mentioned above, I can suggest you user-friendly and savvy themes but choosing the final one for a particular project depends on site to site, product to product.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, or feedback on which one you loved most!
You have listed five, I use 3 of them and will try rest of the 2 ….. BWT, great article as well as design….. keep up great writing for us…
Thanks for the heads-up, Mahbub!
Is this ranked in order according to your preference? (#1 being the best and #5 being the worst)
I was planning to buy Ultimate Azon, but I saw it’s only #5 on your list.
Any reasons why it’s the least among the 5?
Thanks!
Just my personal preference. I took several considerations before ranking these 5.
You can go with anyone of your choice to build your next niche site, Sarah 🙂
Great collection of theme Al-Amin.
I agree with your points as well. One of the things that will also determine your success when it comes to blogging is the wordpress theme you chose to use.
It does not matter if you are building niche sites, authority sites or even ecommerce sites, its very imperative that you choose a good looking, SEO optimized and mobile responsive theme for your blog.
Even though the theme itself might not directly make you money but, it will save you a lot of troubles.
Thanks for sharing man.
I’m glad that you loved my recommendation, Theodore! 🙂
What do ya think about avada wordpress theme?

Al Amin Vi,
Can i use any of the listed themes as an alternative of others or need to use all, as you know most of the the themes are paid.
Planning to use hooray. Used sahfia, didn’t liked it though. However, thanks for the suggestion.
Dear Al-Amin,
Assalamu Alaikum. Hope fine. Thanks for your nice effort. However, as a beginner can you share any free theme for us please? Stay fine.
Thanks for the Suggestion.
Great roundup here! As we all know, there is no single theme that works for all websites and all people.
As the developer of the Ultimate Azon Theme, I just want to make sure that everybody knows that UAT is a “blog/review” style theme – not a “storefront”. HUGE difference there!
In my experience, storefront themes seem more like “fake eCommerce” stores and are off-putting for many visitors. They LOOK like the main goal of the website is for the owner to make money.
In contrast, the “blog/review” style themes convert much better in every test I’ve ever ran. Most bloggers I know that have tried storefront style websites eventually switch to “blog/review” style sites.
UAT was my own custom personal site, built and optimized for the highest CTR possible over the course of a year, that I later released to the public, and that’s why over 600 people are now using it!
If anybody has questions about the Ultimate Azon Theme, I’ll check back to answer them.
