What it does
Building a site from a blank theme takes time, especially when you need a portfolio, a blog and a shop to share one look. This theme starts you off with more than 9 demo layouts, each with its own design style, sliders and elements aimed at different niches. A one-click demo installer imports the full demo content, so you can begin editing real pages instead of assembling them from scratch.
Page editing runs through WPBakery Page Builder, which comes with the theme along with more than 70 custom elements, so you can arrange pages by dragging and dropping without writing code. Blog, portfolio, gallery, shop and inner page layouts cover the common sections of a business or creative site. WooCommerce compatibility handles selling products and services, WPML compatibility supports multilingual content, and the responsive, retina-ready design adapts to phones and high-resolution screens.
Best for
- Creative agencies and freelancers building portfolio websites
- Startups and businesses needing a corporate or SaaS site
