The theme smartly use both left and right part of the split screen layout. Hence visitors can see images, and contents with equal focus. Whether you start a blog, personal site, or portfolio portal, it fits to all needs. JetPack plugins is integrated with Sideways theme to provide you access to custom post types.

Like all modern WordPress themes, this versatile theme is also highly responsive to fit on smallest screen. Though, you will see that left portion of the screen will shift on the top area when browsed from small screen devices. Hence, we can say that it transforms to single columns layout from default (2 columns layout). As a result, user will see featured image, menu button and all left part of the screen right above the page, just like a regular header.
The theme will maintain same results when browsed theme high-resolution screens. So user will not experience blur or pixelated view while browsing images.

Other Details : Organic Themes
Split Screen Elements : Like I said that Sideways WordPress theme divides entire space into left and right, using 2 columns. The right side always shows posts or say contents. And the left block shows headings, logo and featured images as background. If you open single post then you will see it’s featured post as background for left column.
In addition, it shows a navigation button on the left top and social buttons list on the left bottom. Clicking toggle button will load off-screen (vertical) navigation panel from left side. So user can see all menu links assigned by administrator. This section is visible only when you click toggle button. The bottom portion shows social media links through icons. So website visitors should be able to access your social presence easily.
While scrolling on the content area in demo, we noticed that only right column scrolls through the content. And left column remains static as it doesn’t move. Hence, we can figure-out that whatever is shown on left area remains static and visible all the time, except mobile devices.
