What it does
Many bloggers want a site that looks polished but don't want to touch code to get there. This theme handles that with an admin panel for customizing your blog's look, plus demo content you can import as a starting point. Layouts are responsive and retina ready, so text and images stay sharp on desktops, tablets and phones. It works with Visual Composer and WPBakery, which means you can build and rearrange page layouts with drag and drop tools.
The theme suits travel, food, fashion and personal blogs, and it also fits magazine-style sites that publish a lot of content. You can pick from unlimited colors and multiple layouts, choose typography from Google Fonts and Typekit, and add parallax or video backgrounds to sections. Revolution Slider is included for featuring posts or photos, an Instagram feed can show your latest posts, and Ninja Forms integration covers contact forms. Unlimited sidebars and portfolio layouts help you organize everything.
