Overview

Publishing sites need to present many stories clearly, work on every screen and leave room for advertising. Qalam is built for that job. It uses semantic markup and organized code, and it adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, including Retina displays. You can choose a boxed or stretched layout and adjust the width settings to match your design.

Design changes are made through the Kirki Customizer with a live preview, so no coding is needed. The theme works with Elementor Page Builder and includes more than 10 Elementor templates as starting points. It also has advertisement spots for monetizing content and comes with the WP Post Modules plugin, which displays posts in several styles on pages or in widget areas.

Features

  • Responsive, Retina-ready design: The layout adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, and graphics and icons stay crisp on high-resolution Retina displays.
  • Boxed or stretched layouts: Pick a boxed or stretched layout and adjust dynamic width settings to fit the look you want for your news or magazine site.
  • Kirki Customizer with live preview: Theme options live in the Kirki Customizer, where you see changes as you make them, with no coding knowledge required.
  • Elementor templates included: More than 10 Elementor Page Builder templates give you ready starting points for building pages, and the theme is compatible with Elementor Pro.
  • Built-in advertisement spots: Ad positions are placed within the theme so publishers can add advertising to their content without rebuilding the layout.
  • WP Post Modules plugin: The bundled WP Post Modules plugin shows posts in a range of styles and can be placed on any page or in widget areas.
  • Schema and semantic markup: The codebase uses semantic markup and schema microdata, which keeps content structured and easier for search engines to read.
  • WooCommerce and browser compatibility: Qalam works with WooCommerce for stores and is cross-browser compatible, so pages behave consistently in major web browsers.
