Landing Pageasy Theme Review

General design

The design of this Free WordPress theme is the harmonious combination of both box layout and full-width layout. More specifically, the default style of header and footer are full-width and that of the body is the box-content layout. The box layout and list structure of the body plays an important part in the neatness and simpleness of the whole site. Meanwhile, the full-width layout makes the design super open and attractive. In this design, I see the primary elements are built from straight lines. On the other hand, the minor element like buttons and social icons are made from curved lines. Generally, this design brings about a sense of elegance and gentleness.

Other elements

Besides the classic color like white, light grey and black, the author also uses orange and green in some highlight part to make this theme less boring.

From the top to the bottom, the author uses only the traditional Open-san font. This font makes the texts super clear and legible.

The most outstanding element of this theme is the powerful full-screen header image. The title, tagline, and menu lie on this image to save the space and give direct attention. Yet I think that the menu title looks quite unclear on the image.

Header image

This theme provides you with up to 3 widget areas: footer, sidebar and header widget. The sidebar is on the right of every page. Each widget in it is arranged in an individual box and looks very well-organized. The header widget can also be a place where you display your project or profile. The 3 widgets are put on a mutual box so this area can have a sense of "smooth".

Next, I see that the thumbnails on the archived post page are large and attractive but there it's not shown on the single post page. The lack of a featured image and even the header image makes the single post page really simple. From my point of view, this default style is not able to impress people and even make this site quite boring.

Responsive

This WordPress theme works well on every device. What I mean is that the design looks fine without any problem in PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. You can see the responsive design check by ami.responsivedesign.is.

If you want to have a website like a demo right after installing Landing Pageasy, it's impossible as there is no 1 click demo import. So you have to manually set up your site. The header image, color, and font is already like the demo. Your work is changing the widgets, importing your content. You can do it quickly and easily in the Customizer.

The author gives you enough custom color so that you can color your website and make a considerable change. Or an image can be selected and set as the background of the site.

Customizing color

Particularly, if you don't select any image for the header image, you can choose a color instead. And now you have a very plain header.

The typography is unchanged. But I see that the default font is suitable with the theme so you don't need to change it.

Apart from the color sections above, there is another custom color for the social icons. The social icons appear on the header image when you add the URL in the equivalent social networking site section. There are 8 popular designated URL here. In my opinion, that is not enough for the user to use if they have social sites other than these 8 URL.

A header image can be cropped properly to any size as you want.

One thing I find it different from the demo when using this theme is the header image, top widget, and the related posts section. In the demo, the header image and top widget just exist on the front page while they appear on every page in reality. Plus, there is no related post section in the demo but in my website, I find them under the body content on the single post.

I really love these extra features as it makes my website more lively and beautiful.

I just need 1 day to learn how to use this theme for everyday use. I'm just a beginner so I guess that it'll be easy for everyone to use Landing Pageasy.

The gallery displays very nicely. The pictures with different size can be gathered in a well-organized way.

When compared to the normal text, the blockquote looks quite ordinary. The first style is even exactly similar to the normal text.

After checking the SEO configuration, I see that this theme hasn't been optimized effectively for SEO yet. Maybe they will improve it soon.

The average score of the speed is medium when I test this theme's speed by PageSpeed Insight. The score, despite not being excellent, but almost reaches the good score. So I think you can accept it.

The author gives you documentation in the form of Frequently Asked Questions. There are only 8 basic topics in this F.Q.A with very brief answers. I'm afraid this documentation doesn't have enough information about a theme's installation and customization for a beginner like me.
