LambadaLite Theme Review

General Design

The LambadaLite hasn't had the demo, but you can see the preview of pro version. It still owns almost all the features similar to the premium demo: so fresh, young and energetic. The freshness is expressed by the "leaf" falling gently on the header image and the choice of color. And the energy is shown partially by the performance of the content boxes. When you hover, the shadow effect appears to make the post so creative.

The shadow effect

The design depends on straight lines and blocks. Each post in the featured, the latest post, and sidebar, each post and widget is on an individual box to be clean and neat.

Other elements

As I described, the choice of color brings about a sense of freshness. The background color is light grey-blue mixed with the white color of every box, really easy to read. In general, the color palette of the demo will comfort every reader and ease your eyes in every condition.

From the top to toes, the author uses only Poppin. It's a safe choice to make the text readable. I also think that this font with curved lines is suitable for the main spirit of this WordPress theme.

The header and footer are full-width, which makes the appearance more impressive and open. I really love the attractive full-width header image containing logo and site title. The menu is in the center of the bar so it looks symmetrical with the whole site as well. Moreover, it's a sticky menu so that you can keep an eye on it whenever you scroll the site.

Header

The homepage is designed to show the special parts like featured posts, latest posts very nicely. But this is the demo for the Premium version, not for the Lambada Lite.

On the blog page, the post is shown in the masonry structure. So, even if your content-boxes have different sizes, the structure still looks well-organized. On the single post page, the featured image and content are all on a big box while other factors at the bottom lie directly on the background of the site. I think that design is to make this page look more open and airy.

Responsive

The responsive design help this WordPress theme look nice in every device. Thereby, you don't have to think much about how it displays in your PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. You can see the responsive design checked by ami.responsivedesign.is.

This theme doesn't support 1 click demo import. So after activating this WordPress theme, you just have the header image and color look like the demo. The work of setting up has to be done in a traditional way in the Customize. But it's very easy and quick to set up. But you should remember that this is the lite version, not the premium one. So some features in the demo like the footer column, store, and the home page elements are not available or different in your lite version.

This free version doesn't support some common things like related posts, social linking, like button, ... so you just can use it as a normal blog with some basic features.

The list of custom features is quite limited but you can address all of them easily in the Customizer. I applied all the changeable sections to my website to write this WordPress theme review as exactly as possible.

You just have 1 section for the color your imagination and creativity are somewhat limited.

Customizing color

The header has only 1 default style like the demo. The header image is the only element you can change here. Moreover, you should choose a header image size of 1920 × 249 pixels to make it fit with the default frame. Otherwise, it will look unreasonable like this.

Customizing header image

Unlike the premium demo, this lite version has only 3 footer columns. But I think 3 columns are enough for you to add your widget. There are all basic widgets for a WordPress theme here.

Widget section

Other factors like blog structure, typography, sidebar position, and meta can't be changed. Fortunately, I find that the default set up is already good to use.

It takes me just a few hours to get used to this theme. I have the Gutenberg support to edit my post easily and all the necessary post formats.

The blockquote looks not much different from the normal text. I expected it has more distinctive featured to be outstanding.

The gallery has a grid structure and displays the image with different sizes very neatly.

After checking the SEO configuration by some tools, I know that this theme has not been customized for SEO yet. There is even no SEO plugin recommended in the Dashboard. Hence, if you don't know much about technology, finding a suitable plugin may challenge you.

The speed is different when you use this theme on mobile devices and computer. It's medium on a computer and under medium on a mobile device. Of course, I have to use a prestigious tool to check it. I choose the PageSpeed Insight, a trustworthy tool of Google.
