Overview

Many site owners want control over how every part of a site looks, but themes often lock layout decisions behind code or fixed options. This theme is a full WordPress theme rather than an add-on plugin, so the visual editor reaches the structural pieces: headers, footers, sidebars, blog post templates, category pages, search pages and 404 pages. You edit them live and see the result as you work.

A setup wizard walks you through the first steps of building a site, and ready-made companion themes such as Shapeshift, Ommi and Bookwise give you a starting design for different niches. Brand colors, fonts and logos are managed in one central place, so a change carries across the site. It is aimed at marketers, entrepreneurs and website creators who want a professional site without hand-coding.

Features

  • Front-end visual builder: Design and edit your pages live on the front end with drag and drop, so you see changes as you make them and need no coding skills.
  • Full theme template control: Customize headers, footers, blog post templates, sidebars, page layouts, category pages, search pages and 404 error pages from the same visual editor.
  • Setup wizard: A guided wizard takes you through the steps of getting a new site running, with the aim of launching in under 15 minutes.
  • Global brand management: Manage colors, fonts and logos from one central dashboard, then update the look of the whole site from that single place.
  • Library of design elements: Choose from over 100 design elements and blocks, including icons, fonts, page blocks, dividers and conversion tools, to assemble pages.
  • Responsive layouts: Design elements are built to display and work properly on modern devices, so mobile visitors get a usable version of your pages.
  • Companion starter themes: Begin with prebuilt starter designs such as Shapeshift, Ommi and Bookwise, each made for a different niche and style.
  • Marketing tool connections: Connect to email platforms, webinar systems and automation tools like Zapier to fit the theme into your existing marketing workflow.

Best for

  • Marketers building sites focused on audience growth
  • Entrepreneurs who want design control without coding
  • Website creators wanting one theme for full site layouts
