What We Liked About Ovation AudioTheme ?
We have been reviewing all music WordPress themes from this developer and many other theme sellers. But, we have seen couple of unique features which puts it into unique basket. If you look over demo then it shows Off-screen sidebar, Parallax feature, Multiple content sections (homepage) and more. These features can easily develop a highly effective website to engage with visitors.
You can definitely add custom page sections to display albums, single tracks, videos, blog posts, events and more. But how about showing them all at one pace ?. Well, that’s what homepage is provided for. The custom homepage layout gives you option to select any pages from website and add them all using custom sections on homepage. So user can see highlight or updates from every posts : e.g. latest albums, upcoming tours, latest posts etc.
We liked Ovation for dark and white color skin in demo that shows text and images in clear way. This color skin can work for most of the professional bands and music studios. But that’s only for demo, you can switch to red, green, blue or any color that relates to your brand or personal style. The advanced front-page layout is best for artists and singers wanting to promote tracks list and albums.
The homepage adds a full-width parallax image before every home section. So user can easily find out what he/she is going to find by scrolling down on the page. We love the floating menu (optional) that keeps itself visible on the top of the page, while scrolling.

Well, you don’t have to follow same concept as demo, nor you have to write code to add those sections. The WordPress customizer gives you options to populate home sections with selected pages. Every section can be linked to particular page on your site to display contents as yo specify from options panel.
You can even drag and drop home contents as you need. The featured header area (homepage) appears first on homepage before navigation bar. This section works nicely to display any selected image or video as header background. Once you setup media element for header then you can display logo on middle and social navigation links on the top.
The navigation bar shows custom menu links which has been added by website owner. The homepage shows full-width preview but you must know that sidebar is still available. The off-screen sidebar is not visible to users when they land on the website. So they will find a toggle button (3 horizontal bars) on the left of navigation o panel. This button will show and hide sidebar and widgets which has been added by administrator.
