From a small blog
to a newsroom

Built for whatever you publish

Elementor

Big magazines

Built for front pages that carry a lot. Stack complex news listings, info blocks and ad slots, and split the site into as many categories and sub-sections as your desk runs.

  • Made for Elementor
  • Full multilingual support
  • Algolia search for big archives
  • A wide choice of layout and utility widgets

Block Editor

Personal blogs

Every Elementor feature has a block editor twin, so you get the same layouts with less weight and a faster build. Ideal for one-page, niche and portfolio blogs.

  • Block-based post listings
  • AI that speeds up moderation
  • Hundreds of style options
  • Reviews and Mailchimp built in

Hybrid

Hybrid sites

One site, several jobs: a portfolio with a newsroom, or a shop with a blog. Clean layouts and global settings let you take over any zone, put blog parts only where they belong and leave the rest to other tools.

  • Theme Options and Customizer
  • Elementor and blocks together
  • Room for custom editing tools
  • Plugs into existing sites

Zero plugins

An easy way into WordPress, and a fair trial for free users before they upgrade. Either way, the built-in options are enough to launch a complete blog without a single add-on.

  • Zero plugin dependencies
  • 200 built-in options

Every feature here
is on screen

It just works, from the first install

  1. Both schemes

    A real dark mode
    on one stylesheet

    Follows the device, recolors every surface on the fly, and lets you choose how the reader’s pick is saved.

  2. Integrations

    Nearly half the plugin directory hasn’t shipped an update in two years. Other themes install from it. We don’t.

    WP.MD, September 2026

    Integrations are written by us, not borrowed: installed from the theme panel with your license, configured in Theme Options, and supported by one team.

    Bundled integrations

  3. Performance

    Every theme shows a perfect score, measured with every feature switched off. These are real numbers you can test yourself.

    • Verba theme 95%

    One settings panel covers the whole site, grouped by what you actually want to change.

    • Over 600 settings in one panel
    • Native to WordPress, not a builder
    • Part of the framework, not an add-on
    • No third-party plugin to install

  • Mobile versions Sliders, pagination, search and galleries each get a mobile version.
  • 280px to 4K Tested all the way down to 280px. We are not sure screens that small exist.
  • Fluid sizing Type and spacing scale smoothly with clamp() instead of fixed pixel values.
Tablet ≤ 1199 px
Phone ≤ 390 px
