What it does
Many site owners need one theme that can handle a blog today and a shop or company site tomorrow. Sway is built for that kind of flexibility. Its drag-and-drop page builder lets you arrange page layouts visually, which suits people who would rather not touch code. You can start from one of the pre-designed templates, made for different industries and styles, and then change the details until the site looks like your own.
The theme is responsive and retina ready, so layouts adapt to desktops, tablets and phones and images stay sharp on high-resolution screens. For selling products or services, Sway works with WooCommerce. It is also compatible with common plugins such as Contact Form 7 for forms, Yoast SEO for search settings and WPML for multilingual sites. Its grid elements include buttons and item spacing that you can style within your layouts.
