Web Services announces a new WordPress theme, Astrid, developed by aThemes. To get an idea for the look and feel of this new theme, check out the Astrid demo sites built by Web Services: Ocean Impacts and Prof. Haywood. This theme will be available to any site currently in the WordPress network and for new requests.
Astrid features:
- Splash header image
- Modern design
- “Fixed background” image scrolling features
- “Widgetized” pages / templates
- Fully mobile responsive
- Language / Translation ready
Examples of sites that are utilizing the full potential of the Astrid theme features:
Astrid relies heavily on the customizer and widgets to build out the optional scrolling pages and you may find that you need some guidance if you’d like to make a switch. If you’re interested, Web Services staff will be available in Open Labs to talk about the theme and assist with transitioning sites.
