What it does
Running a news or magazine site means juggling a lot of content types on one homepage: top stories, category blocks, sidebars and ads. This theme handles that with page builder support, so you can arrange your homepage and inner pages by dragging and dropping sections. A one-click demo import sets your site up to match the demo, giving you a working starting point that you can then adjust to fit your brand. The live preview customizer shows design changes in real time before you publish them.
The theme is responsive and retina ready, so layouts, graphics and fonts adapt to phones, tablets and desktop screens. For publishers, it includes ad spaces in the header, sidebar, footer and article body, with placements for both desktop and mobile. It also adds rich snippets, Open Graph and microdata markup, which helps search engines and social networks read your articles. Compatibility with WooCommerce, bbPress and WPML means you can add a shop, a forum or multiple languages as your site grows.
Best for
