Merchato Features Review : Best Music Theme Ever

Unique Design : The mosaic type page layout provides totally engaging experience while showing media elements. The theme has everything that is required to create media rich band and music websites. The theme easily integrates with top eCommerce plugin in the world, WooCommerce. Hence, you will have your own space to sell music gigs, lyrics, t-shirts, posters or anything you like.

Page Templates : There are 3 page templates with different options so that musicians can change the layout and functionality of individual pages. You can set the page template from attributes from within editor screen. The 3 options include Default, Grid and Mosaic grid page. First two page templates will display content in single column and when you add featured image then it will be visible as a banner just on the back side of the page title.

The Mosaic grid page style is used in Merchato demo (homepage) that shows mosaic grid instead of regular layout that shows rows and columns.

Home Content Blocks : The top feature that we liked about frontpage is “Featured Content Section” that shows anything selected by administrator. You can select various pages, and posts from different archive sections to be displayed with mosaic or regular grid layout. If you use eCommerce shop to sell items then you can add latest products on homepage. In-short, homepage can be a featuring dashboard to display latest updates from every section.

For e.g. musicians can promote latest albums, recent video, or list of best discography on homepage. All these customization work is done with visual options panel that only takes a little time and no coding skill. So music professionals and singers can manage to update their website easily.
