What it does
Running a news or magazine site means handling a lot of content at once: headlines, categories, images, video and advertising all compete for space on the page. This theme is designed around that problem. It gives you customizable templates for building layouts that match your brand and content style, plus widgets tailored to presenting stories, multimedia and ads in an organized way. It works for a personal blog, an online magazine or a larger news portal.
Page building happens in TagDiv Composer, a drag-and-drop builder that lets you create complex pages without coding. If you would rather start from a finished design, several pre-built demos cover different niches and can be adjusted from there. The layout is responsive, so pages adapt from desktops to smartphones. Social sharing and follow buttons are built in, an ad management system handles placements, and the theme supports plugins such as WooCommerce, Contact Form 7 and Yoast SEO.
Best for
- News portals and online magazines
- Bloggers and independent journalists
- Publishers who want to earn revenue from display ads
