Description by Author

Chap is a highly customizable AMP ready WordPress theme suitable for blogs, landing pages, portfolios, businesses and online shops. With a step by step setup wizard or one click demo import you can have a functional site up and running in minutes.

Unlike many other themes on the market, this theme does not use any page builders, instead content can be created using simple shortcodes designed to work even on AMP pages.

Themable components

A website is not just a pretty picture. It has many components – buttons, headers, segments, forms, inputs, menus, messages, tables, cards, accordions and so on. With Chap all of these components can be individually themed to meet the style requirements of your current project.

Modern and professional

Chap uses Semantic UI CSS framework to deliver beautiful, modern and professional user interface. Not only is the theme responsive and retina ready, but every component is also fully customizable. You can swap between different themes for buttons, menus, forms, headers and more with a simple theme option change. There is even an option to control the base size of every UI element at once, so your website size is no longer a constant.

Semantic UI option examples

• Base size of every UI element
• Border radius of every rounded element
• Font families (Google WebFonts, Web Safe Fonts)
• Primary and secondary brand colors, used theme-wide
• Site width
