What it does
Many blog themes either look dated or bury articles under clutter. This theme takes a simpler approach, with a modern design that keeps the focus on your stories and makes pages easy to navigate. It is built on the Bootstrap framework and is fully responsive and Retina ready, so layouts adjust to desktops, tablets and phones and images stay sharp on high-resolution screens.
For customization, the theme works with WPBakery Page Builder, which lets you arrange page content with drag and drop instead of writing code. It is also compatible with WPML, so you can run your publication in more than one language. Multiple styling options for posts and pages let you match the look to your content, from a personal blog to a larger online magazine. Documentation is included to help with setup and customization.
Best for
- Personal bloggers and lifestyle writers
- Journalists and independent online magazines
- Multilingual content sites using WPML
