What it does
Many blog themes crowd the page with widgets and sidebars, which pulls attention away from the posts themselves. This theme takes the opposite approach. It uses a single-column, no sidebar layout topped by a large header image, with an emphasis on typography and readability. The result suits writers, artists and influencers who want visitors to read and look at their work without distractions. The vintage styling gives the site a classic feel while the layout stays responsive and retina ready on phones, tablets and desktops.
Customization happens through the theme customizer, where you can set colors, a custom background, a header image and a logo. The theme is translation ready and includes font compatibility for languages such as German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Korean, Portuguese and Chinese. It works with WPML for multilingual sites, WooCommerce for selling products, and Visual Composer for drag-and-drop page building, and it is built on the Bootstrap framework. Author description boxes and numeric pagination round out the blogging tools.
Best for
- Personal bloggers who want a distraction-free reading layout
