Lifestylepress Theme Review

General Design

The straight lines are the core elements to build and decorate this theme. Hence, it looks extremely straightforward, "strong" and solid. Overall, LifeStylepress has a clean and friendly design suitable for almost everyone.

Other elements

Each part is framed by the thin line to catch the reader's eyes. Moreover, some borders are left with the small blank spaces on the top like this, which makes them airy and unique.

The borders

Thanks to the white background, the appearance becomes so bright. It also boosts the legibility and prominence of the black texts and other black components.

Lato and Serif, the combination of these both serif and san-serif family font is a wise choice. They mark both the readability and attractiveness of this theme at the same time.

The header is extremely straightforward and spacious. The black menu bar plays an important part in making an emphasis on this area. Additionally, the full-width hero image contributes dramatically to the beauty of the first screen.

If you don't know much about technology, you can still manage this theme easily. It's easy to install and set up without any extra step or plugin.

The one-click demo import isn't compatible with this free theme. But it's still very simple to resemble the demo if your website is already full of content. All you need is creating a header, adding sidebar and footer, which can be edited in the Customizer conveniently.

This theme only gives you the common features for a blog. The author doesn't recommend any plugin to have more interesting features like social linking, social sharing, or related posts ... the necessary features for a blog at all.

With the Customizer and live preview, you can modify all the custom features. The customization tools include all the common basic things, from the color to the background image, header image, and more...

There are lots of color sections to make your page colorful. There are unlimited colors for you to choose from.

A header image can be uploaded or chosen from the Media library. But you can't resize the image here so if you want, you have to crop it before uploading.

The most special feature of Lifestylepress is the generous number of widget areas. Along with the footer and sidebar as usual, here you have three extra header widgets. All the common widget from WordPress are provided for you to add properly.

Like the other themes from SuperThemes, there is only a brief F.A.Q. This quick and short instruction maybe not helpful for a beginner, I'm afraid that.
