What it does
Content sites need a layout that keeps readers moving from one story to the next and makes sharing simple. This theme is aimed at blogs that publish trending news, lifestyle tips and stories meant to travel on social networks. It pairs a responsive design that adapts to desktops, tablets and phones with social media integration that encourages readers to pass posts along on popular platforms.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import, which brings in a pre-made demo so you have a working site to adjust. From there, the drag-and-drop page builder lets you arrange custom layouts without writing code, and the pre-built blog and magazine templates can be adapted to your brand. Custom widgets and shortcodes add elements such as trending posts, social counters and advertisement spaces to your pages.
