Eclecticon CSSIgniter : Best Theme Features
Left Header Position : Unlike regular portfolio templates, this theme provides header panel with navigation menu on the left side of the screen. So it will automatically adjust logo image, menu (vertical) and widgets in stack type order. The good thing about this new header design is that it keeps everything visible all the time because of floating design.
So user will see menu links, logo, and header widgets (social links) all the time on the left side of the screen. Therefore, you don’t have to scroll all the way back to top to access menu links, especially when you are at the bottom of any page. Another best part is responsive header which shifts header on the top of the screen when you open website from small screen devices.
For small screens, it will display logo and tag-line on left and Menu/widgets hidden and accessible with “Hamburger” button. Look at the image above idea about how it looks on small screen devices.
Page Details : Eclecticon theme provides custom “Home” attribute so yo can add a custom homepage or you can also choose any other static page as homepage. The project listing page will display all projects on one page. The “Blog” page will show off all your posts at one page which could be news or any information from your business desk. The contact page is optional and most of the agencies would prefer to setup contact form using “Contact Form 7 Plugin”.
We love this portfolio WP theme for engaging and elegant design which uses no extra images or heavy design elements. Hence, page loading speed is always maintained as per new SEO needs. If you look at project page, homepage or any where then yo will see large featured images and attractive fonts. This is the key to win visitor’s heart and get their attention easily directly onto contents.
