Easiest WordPress Theme for News/Magazine/Blog/Newsletter

WordPress theme with all you need to build a Local News, Magazine, Personal or Business Blog, Newsletter, Docs or any other kind of website that presents series of posts or custom post types. Easy. Install → use IMMEDIATELY. Focus on your writing.

Builder for non-professional

“You can build anything” is a lie. With a usual page builder, you can technically build anything if you have infinite time and patience. But in reality, you have 85 tasks in your todolist, you want to write as soon as possible so you just want something quick, simple, efficient, easy to use instead of 200 options you don’t know where to start and how to set it right. You need something that is easy enough for an average person who lacks of design skills.

The Fox doesn’t focus on building anything but on ability to build quickly, easily and necessary things. We made a super-clean builder interface, and put it right away in Customizer so you’ll never get lost. The Builder has only few necessary elements but 5,500+ customers feel enough so probably you do. Also, couple of predefined blocks are implemented so just click → insert → edit.

We already have customers switched from Elementor, Divi, Newspaper.. to The Fox for simplicity. Our aim is to let you build by common sense, not docs.

Simple yet powerful header builder

Header options are implemented right in WordPress Customizer. You find options where you think you should find them. Mobile and desktop elements are synchronized so you don’t need to edit twice.

• 8 presets to start
• Drag/drop elements
• Dark/light theme
• Background color / image
• HTML supported
• Shortcode supported
• Detail font, color options
• Mega menu supported

Have clean footer in 15 minutes

Footer simple interface is implemented in Customizer. You’re not going anywhere else to find it. The Fox doesn’t focus on ability to build any footer layouts. The Fox includes predefined common footer layouts to choose from, quickly and easy to understand. You still have certain flexibilitíe to drag/drop elements, to use HTML in case needed.

Single post for Writing

We curated 7 predefined layouts for writing that supports Gallery, video, audio, review, sponsor and live broadcast. Just choose → write and leave the rest for us.

Fast. Period.

The Fox is fast. It’s fast on paper. And fast when you use it. It’s simply fast because It’s pure WordPress. We use no third-party page builder or framework to slow it down. Test the speed yourself →
