Desired Layout for News-type Site

by JoyceD6·1 year ago·1 reply

This theme helped me create the site that was desired that has a goal to offer local news. I’m not using all the features – there are a lot of them. It’s very flexible. I’ve had it for less than a week, but hopefully nothing will break. So far it’s handling a lot of plugins that were not recommended. This template replaces an old retired Weaver theme for the site.

Useful and Clean

by anthonysoundman·1 year ago·1 reply

I have used numerous themes on this website trying to find ‘the one’, and when my most recent theme broke, I turned to this NewsMore theme.

So far I have found it easier to use and understand than others, in its most basic form it looks great, and very clean looking. I can literally throw it around, try things, test things and manipulate it to get what I want. It works well with my plugins, and I feel in control of it, rather than being lead by it.

From a viewer point of view (I test my own sites in various browsers and devices) It works really well, from mobiles to desktops and all in between.
