What it does
Many blog themes pile on options and visual extras that get in the way of reading. Bold takes the opposite route with a clean, clutter-free design that puts the focus on your writing and images. The layout is mobile first and fully responsive, so posts read well on phones, tablets and desktops. Its code sticks to the essentials, which also keeps customization simpler when you want to adjust the look.
Getting started is quick thanks to a one click demo import that gives you pre-built content to work from. Visitors can load more posts with Ajax instead of paging through archives, and related posts appear to point readers toward other articles. The theme is translation ready with full RTL support for languages like Arabic and Hebrew, includes a child theme for safe changes, and uses Gulp and Bower for developers who want to extend it.
Best for
- Personal bloggers who want a clean, readable layout
- Online magazines and lifestyle publications
- Multilingual or right-to-left language content sites
