What it does
Many site owners want one theme that can handle a business site today and a shop or portfolio later. This theme covers that ground with layouts for corporate, eCommerce, one-page, parallax, fullscreen and clean minimalist designs. Styling runs on LESS, and your changes compile when you save a page, so adjusting CSS feels quicker than editing compiled stylesheets by hand. The layout grid uses the Bootstrap framework for consistent, responsive structure.
Pages are assembled with a drag-and-drop builder that works with Visual Composer and WPBakery Page Builder. You get 33 elements and more than 15 prebuilt layouts to start from, covering text blocks, accordions, carousels, counters, callouts, blog layouts and image sliders with device frames. WooCommerce compatibility lets you add a store, and WPML compatibility supports multilingual sites. The design is responsive and retina ready for phones, tablets and high-resolution screens.
Best for
- Corporate and small business websites
- Online stores built on WooCommerce
- Agencies building one-page, parallax or multilingual sites
