Pekko – Minimal Dark WordPress Theme

Dark themes can make photos, design work and other visual content stand out, but many are hard to adjust without code. Pekko, a minimal dark theme, works with the Elementor page builder, so you arrange and customize layouts with drag and drop. The design keeps the interface simple, which leaves room for your own content. Smooth animations and crisp typography give pages a polished feel.

Pekko suits portfolios, blogs and personal sites, and it is a natural fit for photographers, designers and creative agencies. Layouts are responsive and adapt from desktops to smartphones. Content can load through Ajax on scroll or with a button. For sites in more than one language, it works with WPML and Polylang, and it includes translation files for localization.
