Paperbag

Paperbag is built for sites where writing comes first. Many blog themes bury posts under heavy design, which makes reading harder. This theme keeps typography clean and navigation simple, with subtle animations that support the content. It suits a personal blog as well as a content-rich magazine, and the layouts give you room to present articles, galleries and multimedia in different ways.

Setup happens in the theme customizer, where you can change colors, fonts, layouts and widgets without writing code. Sidebars and the footer accept widgets such as recent posts, tags, categories and social media links. The design is responsive, so pages adapt to different screen sizes. Paperbag is also translation ready and works with CSSIgniter plugins, which helps if you plan to grow the site or publish in more than one language.
