What it does
Many blog themes pile on sliders, banners and sidebars until the writing gets lost. This theme takes the opposite approach with a modern, minimal layout and careful typography that keeps attention on your posts. It suits personal blogs on topics like lifestyle, photography, technology, food or shopping. The design is built on the Bootstrap 4 framework and is fully responsive, so your posts adjust to desktops, tablets and smartphones without extra work on your part.
You personalize the site through the WordPress live Customizer, which lets you see changes as you make them without touching code. For custom page layouts, the theme is compatible with SiteOrigin Page Builder and its drag and drop widgets, and it adds eight custom widgets of its own. If your blog grows into selling products, WooCommerce integration lets you add an online store on the same site and keep the same look.
Best for
- Personal bloggers who want a clean, minimal design
- Lifestyle, food, photography or technology blogs
- Bloggers planning to add a small WooCommerce shop
