Although Headway is very powerful in a developers hands, it's probably not the best choice if you want to learn development first. If you want to learn development, start with a free basic framework, like Sandbox or Starkers. Then move onto others like Hybrid and Thematic. By that time you'll know your stuff but wanting to find quicker ways to get things done. That's when you look at things like Thesis, Builder and Headway. Of course, if you want to just build websites without having to think too much - maybe a bit of custom CSS, then yeah come join us at Headway from the get go. Paul,

Most of the people here supporting Thesis Theme know coding and designing. Ask me, I newbie who got attracted with high sales pitch and reviews. I purchased the theme and I was like what do I do with this plain design. I don't have the high budgets (most Thesis NINJA's ask for 2000$ or more). However, I search and search and did customization and found some free Skins. It was Pitty after spending 164$ on developer option I still have to purchase the skins. Thanks to my friend Hesham at Famous bloggers, he offered some discounts. Now I have established myself I can afford the designers, but ask me I already spent about 1500$ on Thesis designers. It is highly not recommended fore beginners, newbies and people with no programming knowledge or it will be your worst nightmare. Finally, I personally like Thesis Theme now because I know how to work with it. I do recommend it to people who are established, but not to newbies. Hello Nicholas,

I tried everything with it. Just impressions, no clicks. Then I switched to CTR Theme, crappy design but it does the work. You shouldnt overdo with it as you dont want your page to be an ADboard. just my 2 cents. I was using thesis theme but it did not help my Adsense CTR anyhow. I tried everything with it.

Simply I use a them and activate some plug-ins from WP-admin panel but I don't have much knowledge about themes like which theme is for which niches. I too agree that using themes based on niche would look good and it would attract visitors also.
