September 28, 2020

Enfold

Do you need to build a website, but want to do so without all the hassle? Then meet Enfold – the user-friendliest WordPress theme ever made. It’s built, designed, and developed by the Kriesi group with both you and your users’ experience in mind. It has stunning visuals, it loads fast, and it’s very easy to modify. It’s a theme that’s bound to make your website building life stress-free.

Aimed at providing its customers with an amazing experience, it really is no wonder why Enfold has more than 250,000 happy users.

So, what makes this theme so amiable? Let’s zoom in on a few of its friendly features:

Over 35+ Demos and Counting

Enfold

Admittedly, 35+ is not as large a number of demos as compared to other WordPress themes. But no matter the industry you’re in, whether you’re in consultancy or in construction, Enfold still provides you with a pretty wide selection of ready to import websites.

Two-minute setup, anyone? With the one-click demo import, you can have your site up and running with a single click of the mouse and you can start building in a matter of minutes.

You’re also not limited to just using a single pre-built site as Enfold gives you the option of combining the features of several demos in just one installation. This means you can pick a favorite feature from every demo that you like and apply all of them on the website that you’re building.

What’s more, the creators are constantly adding demos to the collection. So it’s safe to say that they have a growing website gallery.

Customization Options

Who says website building can’t be fun? Enfold allows you to play around with your site through its customization options. With this theme, you can add personal touches to your site by simply modifying the layout, style, colors, and fonts. Here are some things you can expect:

Header Layouts

Enfold

The theme comes packed with a variety of headers that you can choose from. The Enfold theme has you covered whether you’re looking to build a small site with a small menu or a huge site with several sub-pages.

Responsive and Retina Ready

Talk about device-friendly. Worry no more with what devices your end-users are viewing your site from. Your website will still come out sharp and striking whether they’re checking it through a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Your site layout will also adapt to the screen sizes of your visitors’ devices.

Predefined Color Schemes

Make your website pop with colors. With Enfold, you can conveniently set the color styles of your site using predefined color schemes. Select one scheme and apply to different sections of your site.

Sidebar Manager

Create unique sidebars for every page of your site and for every category possible. With Enfold’s sidebar manager, you can carefully add widgets and choose which widget areas to show up on a page’s sidebar.

Search Engine Optimization

Built with SEO best practices in mind, Enfold uses clean HTML code and CSS for easy search engine indexing of your website content. The theme utilizes heading tags and heavy internal site linking to equip your site for high Google ranking.

The Advanced Layout Builder (ALB)

Enfold

Bring out any layout imaginable with Enfold’s robust page builder – the ALB. It’s a plugin that comes bundled with the theme itself. With its drag and drop interface, you can create page layouts quickly and efficiently. As with most themes on the market, no coding knowledge is required for building websites with Enfold. All you need to do is just drag and drop elements into place until you’re satisfied with how everything on a page of your site is laid out. You can also re-use a template by saving it and applying it later on to other pages.

A bit of a downside, though, is that the ALB still operates on the back-end. It would be good for Enfold to step up in this area as front-end interfaces are now the trend. With a front-end user interface, you get to see a live preview of your page as you’re building it. And this is something you would surely enjoy once Enfold offers it.

Third Party Plugins and Other Extensions

Go the extra mile. Enfold allows you to extend the functionality of your website with the integration of tools and plugins like WooCommerce, WPML, Mailchimp, and Events Calendar. If you’re looking to start an online shop, then you can easily integrate the WooCommerce plugin into your site. If you’re also intending to reach the foreign market, then the WPML plugin will make your website translatable into multiple languages.

Aftermarket Support Services

Enfold

The creators of Enfold are committed to offering you the best support experience as well as lifetime updates once you’ve purchased the theme. Through a vibrant support forum, you get feedback and help from their dedicated support team. Your questions are answered within less than a day, at least during weekdays.

You also have 24/7 access to great documentation and step-by-step video tutorials. You can read through the Enfold documentation to find answers to your theme-related queries. You can also watch their narrated video tutorials to learn more about the theme.

Other Noteworthy Features

Worth mentioning is Enfold’s Visual Shortcode Editor. It works really well if you just need to quickly set up a page with a standard layout without having to make use of the Template Builder.

There’s also the 2D + 3D Layerslider. Captivate your site visitors with stunning 2D and 3D slideshows of your products or services using this flexible slideshow plugin. Your end-users will definitely delight in exploring your site once you’ve already captured their attention.

Conclusion

Enfold is a simple yet straightforward theme that delivers. If ease and efficiency are what matters to you the most, then Enfold is a perfect match. It’s a solid platform packed with the essentials for building a website. Unfold a fun, fresh, and friendly website for your visitors with Enfold.

As much as we like Enfold, before you buy, there is one other thing you should consider.
