Arcade is a fully responsive theme that’s perfect for photographers, businesses, and bloggers. Grab your visitors’ attention right away with a large featured header image which resizes to fit the browser window – perfect for a product landing page! Use the widget area on the home page to feature your content with the unique Icon & Text widget.

From Desktops to Handheld Devices

Many people now access the internet from a mobile device, so why not make sure that your site will looks its best no matter what? Arcade is built using a responsive grid so that as the window size shrinks, elements will adjust accordingly. Whether it’s on an iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire or Nexus tablet, your site will always look amazing.

Home Page Widgetized Area

One of the greatest features of Arcade is the widgetized home page top area.

This is where you can use the included Icon & Text widget to display any content that you want to appear right at the top of your site. Go to the Appearance → Widgets admin page to configure things.

Layout Options

Arcade gives you the option to select either one or two sidebars, and place them on the left, right or separated (meaning content in the middle). Every post and page even comes with a full-width option to remove the sidebars completely. Check out the Customizer to play with the layout options.

Improved Typography with Google Fonts

For a long time, websites had to use boring old web-safe fonts for all their text. Thanks to modern browsers and resources like Google Fonts, you can now rely on beautiful fonts to improve your website’s typography to make it easier on the eyes. Arcade uses Open Sans for all text, Raleway for all headers, and Megrim for the site name.

Post Block Page Template

Create an impressive looking block of posts on your home page instead of the default single post stream using the custom Post Block page template. Create a page and select the template from the dropdown list, then set your home page to display that page as your static front page.

Post Formats

Not all content is the same, that’s why Post Formats each have a unique look and feel. Check out the gallery below for some examples.
