Just like your blog or website, you can design a theme for your Twitter page. This is especially important in keeping with the consitency of your brand, business or product. There are all kinds of custom backgrounds you can purchase or have made for your Twitter account.
When you are starting out, I suggest you stick with the ‘free’ backgrounds that are offered by many sites. Or you can use the background designs that Twitter offers right on your account.
This video will show you how to navigate to a couple of the sites where you can find some ‘free’ cool looking backgrounds. Let me know if you found this video to be helpful or if you have any questions, ideas or suggestins. I hope you have fun desiging your page!
OK. I’ll bite (show my stupidity). If I access twitter on my smartphone and my computer, what does it matter how my page appears? It’s just the tweets I read. What am I missing? (besides the boat…)
You are probably right that you might not be able to see the backgrounds on
the smart phones – I am not sure about that. But you can see all the
different backgrounds people design on every Twitter account. The area that
you tweet only changes font colors depending on your background settings.
Pretty much that area is generally a light white. I hope that helps. You
