What it does
Architecture and interior work is visual, so a studio site needs room for large images alongside clear project write-ups. This theme is laid out around that balance, pairing image-led sections with readable content blocks for detailed project descriptions. It suits freelancers, design studios and construction companies that want a clean, modern site where the work itself carries most of the page.
You start from one of five homepage designs, then shape pages with the WPBakery drag and drop builder, so no coding is needed. Projects can be shown through five portfolio layouts and four single portfolio styles, while the header and footer builder lets you match navigation to your brand. Slider Revolution is included for project slideshows, and WPML compatibility means the site can be offered in more than one language.

Questions about Archia
Can I build pages without knowing how to code?
Yes. The theme works with the WPBakery drag and drop page builder, which lets you create and rearrange page layouts visually. You can also start from one of the five homepage designs and edit it instead of building from scratch.
How can I display my projects?
There are five portfolio layout options for project listings and four single portfolio styles for individual project pages. You can also use the included Slider Revolution plugin to build project slideshows, and parallax backgrounds add depth to image sections.
Will the theme work for a multilingual site?
Archia is compatible with WPML, a plugin for translating WordPress sites. That makes it possible to offer your pages in more than one language, which helps if your studio works with clients across different regions.
Does it look good on phones and high-resolution screens?
The design is fully responsive, so layouts adjust across desktops, tablets and smartphones. Graphics are retina ready, which keeps visuals sharp on high-resolution displays, an important detail when your site is mostly project photography.
Is Archia free?
The code of Archia is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Archia is this?
Version 1.1.0, released Apr 19, 2024. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Archia?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Archia automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
