Ombra’s philosophy? Simplicity plus variety. While conceiving Ombra, our Creative Squad foresees it as the muse-theme of plainness, versatility and concept diversity.
Ombra is created by heart to be ultra-professional, smooth and exquisite, with an impeccable, modern and flexible layout. And as any muse that enjoys living on mysterious mountains or hills, we did our best to raise Ombra on the untold heights of beauty and performance.
We know that God is in the details, so we paid a terrific attention to each particle of Ombra to cover almost any need: agency, fashion, freelance, architecture, blog, portfolio, photography, business or ecommerce shop.
Theme Overview
At PikartHouse, we are creative minds and professionals at the same time. So, we enjoyed to design from scratch a huge amount of Ombra features – that blend-in perfectly with WordPress existing skin and options – just to release our customers from installing diverse knowledge-requiring and time-consuming softwares. It is that quelque-chose we want to breath into among the existing themes.
And in case you want to have fun with your shopping experience, Ombra comes with great compatibility with industry well-known plugin – WooCommerce. It features a plethora of sophisticated options for you to give your customers the ultimate shopping experience.
To show you how Ombra works, we have created a couple of thematic websites so you can see how amazing this theme is. But, we’ll add constantly new demos at our dear customers’ requests. If you have an own idea for great homepage, please do not hesitate to tell us about that and we’ll take care of it!
Maybe our muse-theme is not spotless, but – for sure – Ombra will inspire us – YOU and Our Creative Squad – to always improve it and come with new and innovative insights. Just feel free to say what’s on your mind.
