Our review of Kirei

This Theme Uses The Backbone Framework

In order for the Kirei premium WordPress theme to function properly, you will first need to install the separate Backbone theme and then activate this “Child” product. There are a number of purchase options available for this download, ranging from a single license plan to an all-inclusive package.

Solid Business Theme For WordPress Sites

There are a number of special features that come with the Kirei package, starting with the homepage Content Slider that boasts a wide view port complete with title and description. There are circular graphics within the text box that allow customers to manually scroll through your slides, and/or you can program them to animate automatically from the Control Panel options.

The Portfolio page templates come in three varieties; letting you decide which layout is best suited for your professional needs. In the screenshot below, I’ve pasted an example of a three column format that lets users click on any thumbnail to go directly to the full post or enlarge that picture.

There is also the seamless social network integration that makes Kirei a solid winner for your business site. Increase your followers, subscribers, friends and “likes” with this feature. There is a section at the top-right of the logo/navigation area that has a slot for social media buttons.

Optional Blog Style Format

For those who prefer to use this theme as a blog site, you’ll be happy to learn that there is an optional blog style layout that can make your text-based content the highlight of your site. You can also include a separate feed that can be accessed with one-click thanks to the page based Content Management System.
