Cutting-edge optics

Worth a thousand words:

160+ Theme Options

The intelligent and fully integrated KarmaOptions Panel (no plugin required) puts you in control, from beginner to professional. More than 160 options let you control any part of Free on the fly. For a quick start, choose between three different basic layouts: Light, Dark and various header colors. Then, change any part of this theme without touching a single line of code. Upload background images or choose colors with our colorpicker. Change fonts and styles without even thinking of CSS . If you wanted to, you could choose between hundreds of Google Web Fonts and use them in any part of this theme.

Various layout variations for a quick start: Light, Dark and several header color options

It was hard deciding which default layout to choose for our presentation. All of them are tasteful and good looking. The light style gives Free an even more lightweight, simplistic and elegant look, while the dark layout provides a touch of luxury!

5 Landing Page Layouts and 3 Header Options

Five different styles for your main entrance page allow maximium flexibility. Either use one of the three sliders, a staged image with a big Call-to-Action button or hide the slider/stage area at all for better focus on detailed information. No matter what your business may be, Free has the perfect option for you.

Two of the most popular jQuery animated sliders can be used throughout this theme: The famous Nivo slider as well as the incredibly flexible Cycle slider are well integrated into this WordPress Theme. With our advanced slider options panel, setup is a breeze, even for beginners. Use up to 15 slides by default, or increase the number to unlimited (How-To included).

 

50+ Shortcodes

Buttons, Boxes, Columns, Tabs, Toggles, Fonts, Charts, ... Wait. Charts?

Free comes along with all the popular shortcodes and adds even more. Small and big buttons, boxes, custom fonts, tabbed or toggle content, columns, Email encryption and related posts are just some of them.

But with Free, you could also insert custom charts that make use of the Google Chart Tools API . This is just one more example of the great flexibility of this WordPress Theme.

To check out the variety of shortcodes provided with this theme, please check out the 9 preview pages (“Shortcodes – easy to use”) we have prepared for you in the theme demo.

Shortcode buttons for your post editor

No need to consult a documentation for your shortcodes: loads ofshortcode buttons let you add any shortcode directly in your editor. Insert shortcodes with one click.

Full localization and language support: Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Vous parlez français? Habla español? ...

This theme supports easy translation. This means: You can translate all visual parts and notes of this website from default english into any language in a few minutes. The german translation is already included. For more details, please watch our translation demonstration video.

Widgets, Page Templates, Sliders, Menus, ...

Free provides a variety of easily customizable elements. Three header options, sixteen page templates, two sliders and nine widget areas are just some of them.

Intelligent Image Uploader

The custom image upload function is located directly in your options panel. Uploading slides, logos, backgrounds and other graphics could not be easier! Upload up to 15 slides or increase to any number you like (How-To included!).

Multiple Portfolios

No matter what you want to showcase on your website, Free will present it perfectly. Choose between 1, 2, 3 or 6 column layouts, multiple portfolio and image styles and more. No need to worry about image sizes: Free crops and resizes all images so they will automatically fit into your selected portfolio layout.

Innovative jQuery Website Tour

Have you ever seen the jQuery Website Tour before? Show your first-time visitors around in a fancy animated style that works in every browser all the way back to IE 8 .

Incredibly flexible footer area

Two fully widgetized footer containers can either be combined, used seperately or deactivated in parts or altogether, depending on how much information you want to display in the bottom part of your website. An optional, horizontally animated logo slider lets you present your partners or customers. Add maps, contact forms or widgets like latest posts, tweets or comments, RSS feeds, custom texts, image galleries or literally anything else.

Extended footers have become very popular amongst some of the greatest bloggers and webmasters of our time. With Free, it is your decision how much info space, columns and areas you need.
