More Info...Vanguard: Business &a ..

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced WordPress professional, Vanguard was built with you in mind. Powerful and at the same time easy to use tools, make it easy for everyone to build a website. The build-in custom admin panel has all the options you’ll ever need to customize your website in a few minutes, be it changing colors, adding a background image, fonts or setting image sizes, Vanguard has got you covered.

The theme also includes an XML file that you can use to import the data seen in the theme demo so that you have a solid base to work with and start with the right foot. Also, the sliders you see on the theme demo that were built using the LayerSlider plugin are also capable of being imported.

Some of the themes on this site are so complicated to use that you would be quicker hand coding a site. This theme, however, is a joy to use. A great admin area that’s not over-complicated, features that are actually useful and a good set of integrated short-codes. All in all, great work, I hope it does really well for you. lordmackay

This theme stands out, in that it actually delivers on all promises made in advertizing it â€” something very few others can claim. More than that, this theme is built with thoughtfulness to needs of the the end-user building a website, including features that make the process EASY AND ENJOYABLE! Wordpress has the phrase “Just another Wordpress blog” as the slogan of any new install of WP, and for most themes it’s true. Not so for Vanguard. With Vanguard, you can build a fully-fledged website with many layers of complexity and depth. Not “just another blog”. We hope so see many more such thoughtfully-designed and well-executed themes! schillerinstitut

Just voted 5 stars on this theme! It’s brilliant. Love how well options work and how good it looks! Thank You for a wonderful theme, bought two themes for my website before, but those wasn’t so good, so I will use Yours! Thanks! SBDomains

This is one of the best themes I have come across, highly recommended. The admin interface, sliders and shortcodes are top shelf and very easy use. Had a couple of questions that support answered quickly and the documentation is very useful as well. Andrew

I recommend Vanguard for the best theme on mobile phone in particular. There is no unwanted both-side margins on large over 4inches phone. And zooming is possible on mobile mode. It means browsing with bigger characters on mobile phone. aalaw38

Fantastic theme! It’s very robust, organized, and clean. No problems so far and the author’s support is great! VinhSonNguyen

I would like to mention again that this is a Must Have theme for anyone who is looking for simplicity & good quality! handrei
