Mara – Photo Stories Blog Travel WordPress Theme

Photo-heavy blogs need a layout that stays out of the way. Mara uses a minimalist design and simple typography so your images and posts are what readers notice first. It suits travel journals, personal photo essays and creative blog posts, and the responsive layout adapts to desktop, tablet and smartphone screens.

Setup happens in the WordPress Theme Customizer, where you can change the site title, typography, colors, logo and layout and see the result in a live preview. Seven homepage and archive layouts let you pick how your stories are presented, and a slider at the top of the homepage can feature your best images or posts.

Features

• Responsive design: The layout adjusts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, so photo stories and blog posts stay readable and usable on whichever device your visitors choose.
• Seven layout options: Choose from 7 distinct homepage and archive page layouts to present your posts in the style that fits the kind of story you tell.
• Live Customizer controls: Adjust colors, typography, site title, logo, favicon and layout in the WordPress Customizer with a real-time preview, with no coding knowledge needed.
• Homepage top slider: A slider at the top of the homepage highlights featured images or stories, giving visitors an immediate look at your best work.
• Minimalist typography: Clean type is chosen for readability, which keeps attention on your words and photographs instead of on decorative elements.
• Clean semantic code: The theme is built with clean code and semantic HTML5, giving your blog a tidy structural foundation.
• Logo and favicon upload: Add your own logo and favicon from the Customizer so the blog carries your brand identity.
• Social media integration: Social media links are built into the design, so readers can find and follow your profiles from the blog.
