General Features

Clean, modern and dynamic design for a professional and engaging visitor experience
Integrated “to top” button
Hand-picked selection of fonts for Headers/Body (There is no point in making users select from 800+ Google Fonts, as you are never going to have the time to see what they all look like and a lot of them aren’t very appropriate. Therefore, I have personally gone through hundreds of the fonts and identified ONLY the very best and made them available under the ”Typography” tab in the Theme Options)
Three custom menu locations (Top, main and footer)
Main menu navigation has drop down capabilities
Top menu navigation has drop down capabilities
Custom Sidebars for EVERY category
Extensive documentation with images
Integrated related posts with images

Custom footer social media links
Custom CSS section (Best practice to avoid losing CSS changes on theme updates)
In-built pagination
Indented threaded comments
Dynamic breaking news in top menu bar which pauses on mouse hover (Can be turned on/off)
SEO-Ready – Everything is set as it should be. For example: Only one H1 per page and wrapped around the post title (NOT the logo – which is terrible SEO), images pull the alt text data, relevant Meta schema data, etc
Translation Ready with .mo/.po files included (French & Spanish already translated and included)
Set an Windows 8 Tile image in the option themes for Windows 8 users who bookmark your page
Custom Global Sidebar Position (Left or Right)

Exclusive support system (through the excellent Ticksy)

Support System

Support is very important to me. I know what it is like to get bad customer service, which is why I will do my best to answer every single question as quickly and best as I can (Monday-Friday). I have set up an exclusive support system on ticksy.com where you will be able to leave tickets to ask questions, report bugs or make suggestions and also see answers to other people’s past questions.

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide individual customizations to customers, but I will still attempt to at the very least, provide advice about how to achieve whatever customization is sought after.

Suggestions for future updates?

Please let me know of any features that may be missing, I will be looking to add more features in future updates, and hearing from users directly will help me decide which ones to add.

Credits

I would like to thank the creators of the following excellent free plugins that Ciola makes use of:

All the images used on the demo website are only for demonstration and licenses to use them were purchased on DepositPhotos.com (except the Grass background used on the Lifestyle category background, license of which was obtained from Photodune.net during January’s Free File of the Month from Morning Dew). None of these images are included with the theme.
