It’s easy enough for beginners to get a lot out of it, but supple and adaptable enough for experts to really get the most out of it. Zeen was built from the ground up, allowing for the use of absolutely cutting edge technologies. One of these, the Tipi builder, a fast loading and straightforward page builder that’s only available with the Zeen WordPress theme.

Blance, that’s kind of a strange name, don’t you think? It’s half Blanche DuBois and half Mel Blanc. If that helps you, which it doesn’t. (Imagine that voice!) What Blance is, is a simple and to-the-point WooCommerce theme that does offer a nice range of features that I think might make it a solid option for folks looking to make their mark in eCommerce.

Zarja comes packed with the kind of features that make it easy to set up your new website effortlessly and with basically no coding skills required. Great for beginners who love the look and style of a professional, premium blog theme, but who don’t want a theme that’s overly complicated to learn. Zarja contains five distinct home page variants in addition to seven custom post templates, an Instagram web feed, SEO optimization and enhanced readability thanks to Google Fonts, an astonishing eye for detail, integrating subtle transitional animations all over Zarja’s many elements. That’s a wonderful Material Design philosophy. Zarja is minimalistic in design, clean, crisp, fun and infinitely easy to customize.

Aperitive
Designed primarily as a food blog theme, Aperitive works just as well as a personal or lifestyle blog too. Thanks to the minimalist style that’s heavy on image presentation and typography, it’s just that flexible. With Aperitive, you really have the ability to juxtapose bold images with striking text. It’s a really neat website and there’s nothing quite like it, which is why we’ve included it in this collection. Aperitive has a cool layout of two fixed blocks that was inspired by print magazines, it’s a highly modern and contemporary way to present all your information.
As you’d expect, Aperitive allows for the creation of food menu pages, recipe pages and it supports a reservation plugin to let customers set up a table online from either mobile or desktop computers. You can adjust the color scheme with ease, typography too. All Themes Kingdom themes are completely mobile friendly and responsive and have plenty of widgetized areas for extending functionality. This theme doesn’t just have to be for food and beverage though, I think it’s a solid all around template for any kind of business.
Eris
For a minimalist, modern and cutting-edge blog and portfolio theme, Eris does have a few big stylistic differences that made me include it in this collection. sure, it’s got tons of white space (or dark space in the design above) that are the hallmark of a minimalist WordPress theme, but it’s also got some unique attributes. The vertical menu, for example. Eris helps deliver a wonderful first impression, it offers a wonderful user experience on all devices and it’s optimized for excellent SEO performance. I really like the split portfolio layout with text to the left and images to the right, or vice versa. That’s very useful for helping to tell your visitors a narrative story and can help them visualize what you’re talking about without having to scroll up and down or zoom in and out.
