To make your content look beautiful we added additional formatting features: drop caps, lead-ins, paragraph containers.

It’s super easy to use them: nothing to code, just select the items from the default WordPress visual editor.

SITE SPECIFIC OPTIONS

While, demo content looks as close to our demos as possible, there’re a few site specific settings, that need manual configuration for your convenience, for example links to your social accounts, widgets and others.

PAGE SPEED
