Title: FREE PORTFOLIO CORPORATE THEMES WORDPRESS
1Libra a Latin name that recalls the stars and
the deep blue of the universe. Its not a
coincidence that the menu and the header of this
theme are indisputably characterized by the color
of infinity. A very specific symbolic choice
which isnt not born from the immediacy of a
thought, but from the design thinking of our
designers. The initial aim was to work on a
concept of purity, introspection but also of
sensibility and calm. As it always happens
during the graphic representation of an idea, the
drafts undergo many passages that get overwritten
again and again generating new intuitions, new
deductions, new ways to interpret the aesthetic
of a message, which in this case has kept its
initial purpose enhance intelligence and wisdom.
2Libra is a powerful corporate/ portfolio theme
with a very large layout (1170 pixel), but
extraordinary responsive. In fact if you try to
open it on your tablet or on your smartphone,
youll notice that there are no limits to use or
fruition of its contents. The theme fits
perfectly the screen of the device, from the
desktop monitor to the smallest display of an
iPhone. Dont wait no longer, download and test
it immediately.

4GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Big, powerful and
authoritative, Libra is the right theme to face
the growth, to reorganize your ideas and your
business and start doing things seriously. This
doesn't exclude the possibility that it could be
employed by business newcomers, given by the
simplicity of its configuration panel. But if at
a certain point arises the need to communicate in
a more professional manner representing the
image of a brand in a more powerful and
organized way, then you need tools capable of
doing this kind of job. Libra can! The
configuration of Libra is easy thanks to a
dashboard designed (and frequently improved) to
allow even inexperienced users to install and set
every single element of the theme in a few of
minutes. We believe that your efforts must be
related to your business. Leave the technical
stuff to us. But now lets see how the panel
works.
5LOGO AND NOT ONLY In the screenshot below you
can start to realize how the Libra panel is
made. The logo is (at least in terms of
configuration) the first thing to handle. You can
enable the custom logo and upload your picture.
And not only YOU CAN CONTROL Logo
customization tag-line favicon breadcrumb layo
ut of the website (this is great) responsive
behavior.
6- FOOTER
- Always in the general settings, after
settings, we find the section dedicated to the
footer. Here, besides personalizing text and
links shown by default by Libra, you can choose
from different types of footers - Two Columns Footer
- Centered Footer
- Big Footer Two Columns
- Big Footer Centered
- Sidebar Two Colums

7ArCHIVE, CATEGORY AND SEARCH PAGE After follows
a section called Pages where you can
configure some preferences regarding the
archive page the category page the search
page For all three of them you can choose whether
to show or not the title of the page, assign a
title and choose how to display the contents,
entirely or only an excerpt (summary).
8BLOG Needless to say the importance of a blog
for those who decide to promote their business
through the network. Our themes always offer more
than one choice in the matter. In the premium
version of Libra, in fact there are 6 different
types of solutions which will be discussed
later. Instead for the free version, you can
download and immediately use, the big thumbnails
like in the image below
9- For what regards the configuration, the panel
allow you to personalize your blog choosing to - exclude certain categories from the lists on your
blog, if you think that some must stay more
hidden - show or not, the featured image
- show or not the details of the featured image
- show or not the date
- show or not, the author

- choose from a bigger list the icon of your
favorite comments, or decide to upload it

related posts - show a specific number of related posts (eg. 5 or
7 or 10 etc.) - give a specific order to the related posts (eg.
random or according to the author, ID, date etc.) - give an increasing/decreasing order to the
related posts - show or not the date of the related posts
- show or not the title of the related posts

10TESTIMONIALS Showing others what readers/clients
think is a good way to build up credibility and
authority. Even better if the testimonials are
structured in a clear and professional way. The
free version of Libra offers the square style to
show feedbacks Moreover, the user has the
possibility to set up several choices With two
on/off switch and a dropdown menu Show

13THE SIDEBAR The sidebar a very useful
tool/space to manage strategic information and
improve the users navigation experience. But
it's not always true if you cant completely
control it. Many themes, for example have a fixed
position. With Libra, instead, you can decide
where to place the sidebar and also choose the
type according to the page where its widgets will
be displayed. Both for the pages and for the
posts, the panel immediately offers two
settings The switch button, to
activate/deactivate a certain sidebar for all
types of pages. The choice of the positioning of
the sidebar (right or left) or a layout without a
sidebar.
14SERVICES We said that Libra is the right theme
to face the growth and start doing things
seriously. All this, for a corporate/portfolio
website, means the possibility to show services
in a professional manner. Thats why the theme,
starting from the free version, allows you to use
special custom post type for services. The
service page can be configured and implemented
thanks to a shortcode manager present on the
toolbar of the editors page. Without writing a
line of code, you can configure buttons, icons or
show services in the mode you like. Simple and
intuitive.
15DRAG DROP MENU The Libra menus are compatible
with the Drag Drop system introduced in the
version 3.0 of WordPress. To create a main
navigation menu you must drag the elements to the
specific area.
16LOCALIZATION The theme is localized in English.
Using the translation file released with the
theme, you can easily translate it in any other
language. SUPPORT FILE Along with the theme
were releasing a support file which will be help
you through the entire configuration process of
the theme. For obvious reasons, we cant offer
support for every user that downloads and starts
up Libra, as it would impossible for us to keep
up with all the requests without overlooking
something and without penalizing our work,
considering also the number of users that follow
us today and the possibility that this theme
could also be included in the official directory
of WordPress.

simple Know how is not enough. You must also know

25UNLIMITED COLORS As Jason Beaird says, defusing
a bomb or realizing a website with a nice aspect,
no matter whats your job, is all a matter of
colors, if you mess up with the colors youre
ruined. Obviously, if you choose the wrong color
for a website nobody dies. But who can say that
your career, website, or your reputation as a web
designer or marketer could be compromised by a
bad choice? Colors are important, as its
important to be able to test, configure, modify,
etc them without losing sleep. With the Libra
panel, you can easily edit the colors of every
section or element, from the text to the link,
slogans, buttons, etc.
26OVER 600 FONTS FROM THE GOOGLE LIBRARY The main
target for a website and therefore for a
WordPress theme is to communicate. Communicate
with users, readers, community, clients,
etc Typography is the fundamental element of
communication essence of branding and a crucial
element of web design that, however up to few
years ago, wasnt fully exploited (or as the same
way in the traditional typography) because the
safe lists included in users main operative
systems were limited. Today this problem no
longer exists. Technics and technology allow us
to use fonts not installed on our computer. And
this gives to typography its original dignity as
a higher art. Now you can do whatever you like,
also because Libra permits you to use over 600
fonts directly from Googles font directory. But
be careful typography can be very addictive. You
could find yourself observing the menu of a
restaurant for half an hour before you order
just to figure out which fonts were used to print
it. Once you start, it will be hard to stop
loving typography.

29ABOUT PAGE One of the most important pages of a
website, which reveals the credibility and the
heart of the project is the about page. Here
there are people, roles, their story. Youll find
faces and eyes of those who worked at the
website. More time you dedicate to this page,
better will be the readers impact. Its a matter
of first good impressions, but also of human
empathy . Our designers have worked a lot on
balance and spaces in order to obtain a good
result and give to users the opportunity to
choose between different styles. In fact Libra

50CONCLUSIONS We started with the concept of
purity and introspection that underpins this
project to enhance intelligence and wisdom ,
virtues that sometime predominate from the
beginning , ma most of the times may arise in the
course of time, when experience allow us to
filter, separate and select useful and high
quality products. Libra is a theme full of
experience, it belongs to the phase in which
intelligence and wisdom start dominating to face
the growth, to reorganize the ideas and start a
phase in which things get done in a certain
way. Functions and features abound. And we've
seen tons of them in this article. But now that
you arrived at this point (by the way, congrats
for your resistance!), lets do like this take a
ride on the preview. And if you find confirmation
that Libra is really the right theme to bring up
your business, then download the free version,
install and start using it. All the rest comes
after. You need purity and introspection. You
need Libra!
