Templates Review AEON Futuristic Theme For Wordpress

Themes Review WordPress Creative AEON Futuristic Theme For Wordpress



Overview

This is AEON, a stylish and long awaited design now available ULTRA RESPONSIVE for Wordpress version with plenty of built-in features. Thanks to the built-in page builder and multiple sidebars, you can create just about any kind of page or layout design you want: with top sidebars, with slider, with 3 columns content, with right sidebar / full width, bottom sidebar and footer sidebar, you name it. It also incorporates a powerful slider that works amazingly well, it’s well documented, it’s very easy to use and gets the job done. On mobile devices you will be tipped to swipe on slider and carousels.

The design is really outstanding, creative and unique in many details, for instance check the menu on your mobile, or graphics and images on your Retina display, or the Flickr Widget.. yes looks nice. It’s built with best practices in mind: SEO, Multi-Language and powered by Bootstrap and many other nice tools. The theme uses the full power of Bootstrap for galleries, widgets, modals, carousels, shortcodes and anything you can think of.

What you see is far from over, the package includes the database and my documentation provides guidance on how to install and setup up a complete clone of the demo.
