Ellisium, a professional blogging platform, is characterized by an inherently corporate ethos. Offering a lucid, inclusive layout, Ellisium serves as the perfect extension of your corporate website.
It encompasses a highly adaptable homepage slider, capable of seamlessly adjusting to compact screens – ideal for showcasing your products and services.
The homepage provides ample space for displaying a maximum of four Service blocks, offering the choice between bitmap or webfont icons.
Additionally, Ellisium incorporates “Call to Action” and “Page Hero” sections to captivate your audience’s attention, a smart sticky sidebar, and numerous additional features.
Homepage Slider
Ellisium boasts a versatile homepage slider, enabling you to incorporate images, accompanied by succinct titles and descriptions, along with a “click me” button, for each slide. The slider effectively adjusts to mobile platforms, ensuring your content remains legible, and you can position your images to the right or left, or opt for full-screen coverage. Powered by the exceptional FlexSlider, it is also compatible with touchscreens.
Retina Ready
Ellisium employs webfont icons for the majority of its interface, and high-resolution image sprites for specific elements, guaranteeing your website looks stunning and sharp across all devices.
Smart Sticky Sidebar
The persistent sidebar on the left hand side accompanies you as you navigate through the page, gracefully degrading on smaller screens, transforming into a masonry arrangement of widgets beneath your key content, and can be disabled at any point.
Pinned Footer
You can optionally “pin” the footer, concealing it behind the primary content and revealing it when you reach the end of the page. This functionality is enabled by default, however, it can be deactivated should you prefer a conventional footer.
Responsive, Flexible Navigation
The navigation bar transforms elegantly into a sophisticated multi-level drop-down menu below a specified screen width, which can be customized according to your preference.
Services Blocks
You can exhibit up to four service blocks, each featuring its unique bitmap or webfont icon, title, description, and clickable button. You can upload your proprietary bitmap icons, or select from 48 glyphs available in the Linecon icon set, which is integrated seamlessly.
Page Hero and Call-to-Action
These content segments serve to welcome and engage your visitors. The “call-to-action” segment can be displayed with a clickable button, positioned below the homepage slider. The page hero can be featured on permalink pages or, if you elect not to utilize the slider, on the index page as well.
Touch Device Friendly Image Lightbox
You can optionally launch your images – on photo and photoset posts – utilizing the incorporated touchTouch plugin, recognized as one of the finest lightbox solutions for both desktop and mobile devices.
Widgets Galore
Ellisium offers the following widgets: search, about, browse (tags), twitter, flickr, dribbble and instagram feeds, social, ask, and up to three text widgets for displaying contact details or incorporating custom code or buttons. These widgets are initially displayed on the right sidebar, but can be relocated to the footer independently and even rearranged in sequence.
Sharing Made Easy
Each post can possess its own interactive buttons, including: “like”, “reblog”, and a “share” button facilitating the sharing of the post to Twitter, Facebook, Google , and for pertinent post types, Pinterest.
Photosets As Sliders
Your photosets will be presented as image sliders, and images can be viewed in their entirety via the lightbox. You can opt for either the conventional “rectangular dots” controls or the “image thumbnails” navigation for the post sliders.
In addition to these features, Ellisium also includes:
• Google Web Fonts for headings and other significant blocks of text.
• User-generated pages.
• Disqus commenting system on permalink pages.
• Custom user-defined items on the navigation menu.
