Easily change all the colors of all the sections including header, footer, CTA areas, breadcrumb etc. via image uploads and/or color pickers in the easy to use theme options panel. Support for the WordPress customizer is also included.
Boxed and Full Width Versions
Quickly toggle the format of all your website by choosing full-width or boxed version layouts via the theme options panel super quick and easy.
Multi-Language and Translatable
We include support for WPML and also include mo/po files for local translation.
Video and Audio
Display your amazing work via fully responsive, color coordinated (can be altered in the theme options) players using the built-in functions of WordPress. Display each track and video in an elegant and easy to use format anywhere on your blog, pages or digital item sales pages!
Not just a Marketplace
We also include, via our free and popular plugins, the ability to display staff profiles, portfolio section with individual project pages, and careers including display via categories. A full blog section with support for WordPress post formats is included in the main theme and a whole bunch of templates that include right sidebar and fullwidth and many automatic templates such as 404 error, site map etc.
Usability
Every detailed has been poured over and tested to ensure that the flow of your selling pages is optimized. You can search or filter your digital products store, create category specific pages for digital items (photos, videos, icons etc.). A common menu system across all devices provides a cohesive experience. White spacing adds impact to sections, block quotes stand out to maximize their impact, buttons have great spacing and even file information for sale items is neatly arranged and yet flexible for different file types.
Dedicated Home Page
The dedicated home page has an easy to use slider that will accept ANY content, video, HTML, Text or images and even short codes. It also automatically displays 3 Featured (set via a category) products and then 9 latest products. The rest of the page is any content you wish, in our example I display some fancy block quotes in a carousel, 2 pricing tables and some benefit breakdowns. This could be anything you wish however.
Bloat-Free
We dont build on a framework of multiple CSS files that are frustrating and bloated. We write each line of CSS and code in our themes, which means they are easier to edit and customize, load quicker and produce less strain on your server and provide better experience for you and your visitors.
6 Months of Free Support
We offer a full 6 months of support from date of purchase. Our support is limited to updates, bugs and installation issues but not customization or installing the theme for you. These optional extras are available at a cost.
