Barley

Publishers often struggle with themes that lock the homepage into a preset layout. Barley addresses this with BKNinja Composer, where you select modules, drag them into place and drop them where you want them. That lets a news site, a review blog or a lifestyle journal arrange its front page around its own content.

The design is clean and clutter-free, so stories and media stay in focus. Barley is responsive and works across desktops and smartphones, and it is built with Bootstrap. Ajax post loading and a sticky sidebar help readers keep moving through your content. It fits sites covering technology, breaking news, product reviews or lifestyle stories.
