Bookmarking System

Clever stuff! The Bookmarking system allows users to login to your website and create a read later list out of the content they love the most. Simple and an elegant but overlooked solution, Gillion takes the Bookmarking system and places it cleverly within each demo to give you the edge over the competition when it comes to choosing the right theme for your website.

Review Module – the Review Module lets you create an overall Score for your review, as well as a Pros and Cons list, and a slider system that gives you flexibility to create a rating system for different factors in your review.

Post Read Time – another elegant solution that is sometimes overlooked but highly valued by your customers, the Post Read Time is exactly that. A clock icon that indicates the time it takes to read your article. Simple, but clever!

Post View Counter – ever wanted to easily indicate how many times your posts have been viewed but have had to default to another plugin? Ugh. We hate that, so we included it in Gillion by default.

Versatile All-Purpose Layouts

Post Layouts are a great way to add style and flair to your site with consistency. They take content and give it style, much the way CSS does in HTML, but without the coding required. You can use an adaptive grid, plain Grid, Mixed or a range of other options to bring your content to life easily.

Open Post Layouts take post layouts a step further with five different open layout styles that suit a range of different purposes. Full width for glamorous high resolution photography, or Left and Right blocks with or without Sidebar.

Slider Layouts take the hassle out of trying to execute professional Sliders when you may not be used to them. With our predefined layouts you can select from Carousel, Boxed, Full Width, Fancy and Mosaic with a few simple clicks. Add your own content and you are done. Huzzah!

Drag & Drop Page Builder

Still missing that special something?

Take your web build to new levels with the #1 Drag & Drop Page Builder, Visual Composer bundled in the one off purchase price.

Create almost any web element you desire with the Drag & Drop simplicity of the #1 top selling Plugin for WordPress, Visual Composer. Drag, Drop, Publish. It doesn’t get any easier or any better than that.

Built as a Child Theme

If you modify a theme directly and then it is updated by the original author, then your modifications will be lost. By using a Child Theme you can rest assured that your modifications are preserved but the Parent Theme will be kept up to date. Best practise web design 101.

Powerful Theme Options Panel

When you log into your WP dashboard you will see a new Menu Item – the Gillion Admin Panel. From here you can control, updated, change and modify many of the elements of the theme without any coding knowledge. Changes are made on the fly so you can see them as you work.

Search Engine Optimized

SEO is a careful combination of coding and optimizing for Search Engines, keeping code clean and free of bloat, making pages load quickly using cache to optimize page load speeds where possible, and a whole bunch of other such tomfoolery, none of which you have to worry about with Gillion, because it has all been done for you. How good is that?

MailChimp Email Marketing

MailChimp has established itself in the business as the go-to Plugin for WordPress when it comes to building email marketing lists. We have worked extensively with the Plugin alongside Gillion so that the integration is seamless and simple.

Once you install the Theme, you will be prompted to activate the MailChimp Plugin, then enter your details and get started straight away. Start creating targeted email, send campaigns, or let your existing subscribers know you have a beautiful new website!
