What it does
Running a news or magazine site means handling a lot of content and keeping it easy to browse. This theme gives you a structured starting point for that job. You edit everything in the WordPress Site Editor using drag and drop, and you can start from more than 15 pre-designed block patterns covering hero sections, featured articles, author bios and social media feeds. A one-click demo import fills the site with sample content so you can see the layout in place and swap in your own stories.
Once the base is in place, the theme options panel lets you adjust colors, fonts and layouts, with access to over 1000 Google Fonts for headlines and body text. Readers get a sticky header, a search bar in the header and a back to top button on long pages, and the design is responsive on phones and desktops. For more control, there are single post layout settings, a custom code editor and an import and export tool for moving your settings between projects.
Best for
- Online newspapers and local news sites
- Digital magazines with many categories and authors
- Bloggers who publish news-style content regularly
