Responsive Design
As usual, we have built Agency as a responsive WordPress theme out of the box. This means that you will see the same beautiful Agency WordPress themes, regardless of your monitor size or mobile device, without having to code.
Slider
With Agency, you can create custom slider content using images, videos, captions, and galleries.
Custom Post Types
Agency theme uses WordPress custom post types to manage the portfolio items, highlights, testimonials, and team members so that they are completely separate from the blog posts. Each custom post type has its own custom panel which makes it very simple to manage your content.
Portfolio
With Portfolio posts, you can use a single static featured image, or use multiple images and Agency will automatically create a slider with all of your images. See Portfolio shortcode demo.
Highlight
Use the Highlight posts to display a short paragraph of text to highlight your agency's feature list or services provided. You can take a look at our Highlight demo to get a better idea of how this works.
Testimonial
Use customer testimonials to provide social proof for visitors to your agency website and increase lead generation and conversion rates. Take a look at our Testimonial demo to see them in action.
Team
Use Team posts to display a complete list of your team members. Team members can be categorized based on their job title, such as Executive, General, Management, etc. You can take a look at our Team demo to understand how Team posts work.
Full Control of Page Layout with Shortcodes
Agency theme uses custom post types to display any content, anywhere on the page, post, or sidebar widgets. Each post type shortcode has fully customizable parameters which allow you to affect layout style, image size, toggle content, etc. You can also combine any of our existing shortcodes to create unique page layouts. Check out our demo pages: Home 1, Home 2, and Home 3. Be creative with the shortcodes.. mix it with column, slider, map, or any shortcode from plugins.
Responsive WordPress themes and responsive design in general has emerged as a hot topic in the digital world. At Themify, we made the decision to create responsive WordPress themes rather early on, and it has become one of our strongest features and selling points. Because of our extensive knowledge in this domain, we wanted to clear up exactly what you get with a “responsive WordPress theme” and what it means when you buy an awesome WordPress theme from Themify.
What is a “responsive WordPress theme”?
When answering this question, we can also answer the question “What is a responsive design?” A responsive design and responsive WordPress theme utilize CSS and JavaScript to adapt a website’s layout to the user’s “viewport.” For those who don’t know, a “viewport” is essentially the visible portion of the canvas inside a web browser.
We use responsive design to create a consistent user experience for browsers of all shapes and sizes because the digital world doesn’t run on just 4:3 resolutions anymore. We adapt content to viewports of different sizes, including everything from mobile phone browsers all the way up to large television screens.
Many people confuse “responsive design” with “mobile design,” but mobile design targets mobile devices specifically, whereas responsive design includes support for mobile devices and many more.
What does “responsive design” look like?
To get an idea of what responsive design, especially in WordPress, can achieve, take a look at our Elemin theme.
Elemin displays nicely on your standard browser size, but you can change the size of your browser to get an idea of how the layout changes and adapts along with the width of your browser window. The layout never breaks, and the content simply flows to fit with the browser’s viewport.
A viewer can enjoy a website using the Elemin theme on their desktop, their laptop, their notebook, their tablet, their mobile device, and even their television. The layout and experience of the website remains consistent throughout.
Here are some more hand picked responsive WordPress themes from Themify
As shown in the examples below, responsive design is not limited to just blog theme. It can be complex grid layout like Pinboard, Ajax shop theme Minshop, 3-column Responz, and corporate theme with responsive slider like Suco. Check our responsive themes collection for more.

We are proud to announce version 2 of Pinboard, our Pinterest-inspired theme. We've added multisite integration and social share features. For those who are not familiar with the term 'multisite', basically it lets users to create sub-sites under your site. With Pinboard v2, you can setup your WordPress as a multisite which enables users to signup and publish posts on your site. We also bundled an option to open single posts in lightbox mode in this update. Read below for more details.
Multisite Integration
The multisite feature in Pinboard allows you to synce all posts from micro sites in your network and show them in your main site. Users can register in your site and create micro sites. When they publish a post, it will be also published in your main site.
Custom Signup and Login Form
We've built a custom sign up and login shortcode which allows you to display the form anywhere in the post, page, or widget.
Social Share
Now visitors can easily share your posts to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google Plus by clicking on the share buttons. Each button contains a counter to show how many time the post has been shared.
Open Posts in Lightbox Mode
In this version, posts can be set to open in a lightbox popup like Pinterest.com.
