Minimalis Zigzagpress : Main Features
The theme was crafted to make it work for marketers, professionals and other creative bloggers alike. We love this WordPress theme for it’s unique style which shows featured images everywhere. If you check homepage area then it creates finest presentation using featured images and text overlays. It shows clean and attractive featured thumbnails and title on front-page.
It doesn’t show excerpt and much text on homepage area to keep visitors focused on graphics and media contents. Though you will see bold title and other details which provides information about contents. Same way, if you visit top of the homepage area then it shows a large featured image as header background. So home visitors should be impressed by viewing large image and intro text shown on header.
Not only homepage, but every other area is similarly optimized to leave a unique impression into visitor’s mind. The single page also highlights parallax image as heading area. So visitors should instantly become engaged when they open blog articles. Minimalis WordPress theme is highly based on graphics as primary content to attract blog readers. But it still maintains a best loading speed and minimal structure.
If you check rest of the areas then you will find couple of best spots to highlight widgets. The sidebar and footer both proves as a best place to highlight contents. Bloggers just need to drag and drop widgets to show-off latest post entries, author details, social media links, and more.

Apart from that, it has extra space to show author information, threaded comments, and wide space to display full-width images into articles.

So user only get to see menu links by clicking “Hamburger” style menu button. Zigzagpress developers has used “Off-Screen” sidebar menu panel which pushes screen to the right when you load menu section.

The built-in widgets will help you get more subscribers, and social followers. The theme is flexible enough to help you change homepage, single post, header and other areas using customizer options panel.
Before concluding this review I want to thanks developers for providing “Ajax” pagination. If you check at the bottom of homepage then you will see “Load more” button to browse previous page posts. This button will load more posts on the bottom of the same page (homepage). Hence, you won’t be navigated to another (previous) page, nor you will see any page refresh process which takes time.
