FirstSite Pro

Many blog themes either offer too little control or bury settings in complicated menus. FirstSite Pro takes a middle path. Its theme options panel puts the main settings in one place, with no coding needed. You can pick any color, choose from over 1000 Google Fonts, and adjust how your posts appear in archive and post lists.

The design is classic and responsive, so your posts read well on desktops, tablets and phones. Bloggers who want to earn from their writing can place ads at several points, such as the top and bottom of posts. A one click demo import gives you a starting layout, and you can export your options to reuse on another site or keep as a backup.

Features

• Responsive, mobile friendly layout: The classic design adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, so your posts stay readable on whatever screen your visitors use.
• Unlimited color customization: Choose any colors you like to match your brand or mood, so the blog can look distinct from other sites built on the same theme.
• Over 1000 Google Fonts: Pick headings and body text from a large library of Google Fonts to set the typography that suits your writing style.
• Advanced theme options panel: A friendly settings panel lets you configure the theme in one place, without writing any code.
• One click demo import: Import a complete demo setup to start from a finished layout, then change the content and settings to fit your blog.
• Post display controls: Set the post excerpt length and thumbnail width to decide how articles appear in archive and post lists. The header also includes search, and the footer text is editable.
• Ad position management: Place advertisements in several spots, including the top and bottom of posts, to monetize your blog while keeping control of the layout.
• Social share icons and import/export: Readers can share posts through social icons, and you can export or import your theme options to move settings between sites or keep backups.

• Personal bloggers who want a classic, readable design
