Opt for a sidebar-less page layout for a clean aesthetic. With seamless WooCommerce integration and mobile responsiveness, this theme empowers your online presence.
Idea of creating this project came from frustration of achieving simple clean designs using page builders. A lot of them are usually cluttered and bloated slowing down websites and injecting unwieldy overrides and limitations.
I set some of the requirements and one of them was to achieve two-tone contrast design and ability to switch between them.
Another was to integrate social media as part of the theme which lead to also creating header switcher that either included or excluded social media icons.
I took advantage of templating system and granted a user ability to set how their front page looked and functioned. Front page templates include:
1. Post excerpts with featured images
2. Post Excerpts in two-column design with featured images
3. Post Excerpts without sidebar will width of the page
4. Page type, with no sidebar, almost blank page allowing full design freedom.
5. No sidebar page intended for regular pages in the website.
*All front-page post type templates have option to choose how many post will be shown on the front page. You'll find that control in theme customizer. simply type the number of posts and save.
The theme has option to upload site logo and page header.
Woocommerce integration.
theme has woocommerce integrated and full support for the both dark and light themes. woocommerce simply follows main design tone chosen in the color profile switcher.
The theme has built-in optional three widget footer. simply add widgets form the customizer in designated widgetized areas and hit save.
