Layout Editor
Using Meteor’s Layout Editor, you can build your layouts in a modular way. There are 37 Layout Components for you to choose from. Ranging from Galleries, Sliders, Google Maps, you name it. Each Layout Component has lots of configuration options.
You can get really creative with this tool. It has been designed to be fast and extremely efficient, which allows you to create your layouts very fast. There is also the ability to import and/or export layouts to a JSON file, which you can later on export into your live site.
Gallery Manager
The Gallery Manager tool allows you to create and organize your galleries like never before. You are able to control exactly how the images are going to look like, by setting the cropping option for each image as well as assigning title, description and link.
The galleries you create, will be then accessible from the Layout Editor, so you can easily include them in your layouts. You also have a shortcode to embed the galleries into your Post Content, via the WordPress editor.
Font Awesome Icons
Meteor is deeply integrated with the popular Font Awesome icon set. This means you can insert icons almost everywhere. You have 361 icons to choose from. Meteor has a build system which will include new icons as they are released, made available on theme updates.
Choosing so many icons and memorizing their names is a very hard thing to do. This is why you have at your disposal an Icon Chooser tool, which helps you insert your icons, and even search for the icons you’re looking for. How cool is that ?
Social Icons
Meteor includes the popular Simple Icons social icon set, which contains 143 social icons for you to choose from. The icons are also available in High Definition, for Retina Display devices. Meteor is smart enough to choose the proper icon resolution based on the device.
Premium Sliders
Meteor is full of surprises. You have 5 Sliders to choose from, including 2 Unique Sliders (designed & developed to match its style) and 3 Premium Slider Plugins ($48 value), which are fully integrated with meteor’s core. This means you can configure your sliders in their respective configuration screens, and then include them on your layouts using the Layout Editor.
