What it does
Content-heavy sites need a homepage that can hold a lot of posts without feeling cluttered. This theme handles that with the BKNinja Composer, a drag-and-drop tool where you pick modules and arrange them to build your homepage. You are free to shape the layout around your own content, whether that means tech coverage, news stories or product reviews, instead of settling for a fixed preset design.
The rest of the theme supports reading. Ajax post loading brings in new posts without a full page reload, and a sticky sidebar keeps your widgets and ads in view while visitors scroll. The layout is responsive across desktops, tablets and phones, with options to control sidebar visibility on smaller screens. It is built on the Bootstrap framework and suits tech blogs, news sites and review sites that want a minimal, professional look.
Best for
- Tech blogs covering trends and gadgets
- News websites publishing frequent stories
- Product review sites and creative bloggers

Questions about Doris
Can I design my own homepage layout with Doris?
Yes. The theme includes the BKNinja Composer, a drag-and-drop tool where you choose modules and arrange them on the homepage. This lets you build a layout around your own content mix instead of relying on a single preset design.
Will the theme work well on phones and tablets?
The layout is fully responsive, so it adjusts to desktops, tablets and smartphones. You also get options to control sidebar visibility on smaller screens, which helps keep mobile pages focused on the content.
What kind of websites is this theme meant for?
It is aimed at bloggers, news websites and content creators. The clean, minimal style suits tech blogs, news sites and product review sites, and it also fits photographers and creative professionals who want a tidy place for their work.
How does the sticky sidebar help my site?
The sticky sidebar keeps your widgets and advertisements in view as readers scroll through your content. That way, things like category lists, recent posts or ad spots stay visible on long articles instead of disappearing at the top of the page.
Is Doris free?
The code of Doris 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 Doris is this?
Version 1.4, released Feb 3, 2024. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Doris?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Doris automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
