Alyeska Responsive Template
This is Alyeska Whether your website visitors are browsing from a Retina MacBook Pro, a Retina iPad, or any of the other high-resolution devices that inevitably will come onto the market, this theme has you covered. The theme’s stylesheets automatically check each website visiter’s device pixel-density ratio, and then serve up all of the theme’s details crafted for their specific resolution. The result is a graphically beautiful experience, no matter the device.
The entire theme, all the way down through the Theme Blvd Framework at the core, has been carefully built around the modern era of responsive web design. No longer should we be concerned with specifically just the iPad or the iPhone, but we need to focus on the entire mobile and tablet experience, as a whole. That is the approach we take at Theme Blvd.
Make sure to view the theme’s live demo on your various devices and browse through all of the demonstrated features. Additionally, Alyeska allows you to change how you want your website’s main navigation to display for the mobile user; you have three elegant options, as demonstrated in the above screenshots.
With complete WordPress Customizer support, just the right amount of Theme Options, and logical default values, you’ll be sure to have a unique site that stands out above the rest, without having to sift through an endless abyss of configuration.
Many of our display options are pretty standard throughout our themes utilizing the Theme Blvd framework. These include standard features like selecting a custom sidebar layout, implementing a custom logo, with the option for it to be HiDPI/Retina-ready, etc. However, where you will find this theme’s truly unique stylistic options are under the “Styles” tab. —
You can choose from a light or dark style in your content area, along with whether you want it to be in a boxed or stretched layout. Then, what we really love about this theme is the “Flip Over” style main navigation. Select from one of our carefully crafted colors, and if you’re looking for more of a traditional look, select the “Classic” style navigation.
After you’ve setup your Theme Options, it’s time to finish off the main look of your site with a custom background image. This theme fully supports WordPress’s built-in background control. And to go with that, we’ve included 225 free background images in your theme package that have been created exclusively for Alyeska, combining various colors and textures. (Watch Video)
