Magzine is a review and magazine WordPress theme that utilises the power of the free Elementor plugin that is used by over 5 million users. It allows you to build your website with ease using a drag and drop editor.
Elementor on its own is limited to the way your posts and pages look. This is where Magzine comes in. With this theme you can easily create your own headers, footers, archive pages, search pages, review posts, review boxes etc. Plus it comes packed with over 40 custom elements.
And if you don’t want to build your own website you don’t need to. The theme comes with lots of prebuilt websites (more coming soon). These aren’t just different landing pages. Each design comes complete with everything including header, footer, 404 page, post page, category pages etc.
How does it compare to other website builders?
The benefit of using the Magzine website builder is that it’s built upon Elementor, this means:
- It will work with any theme! So even if you deactivate Magzine all those elements you added will still work.
- Most website builders may have a rating element, but Magzine takes it to the next level with an extensive selection of review features. You can display ratings in a variety of styles which are totally customisable, allow users to add ratings to any page, allow users to add reviews via the comment form, show a breakdown of user ratings by score, display ratings in Google search results, control who can and can’t add ratings and so much more.
- Comes with an excellent Items element that allows you display your posts in a variety ways to create a magazine website with powerful filtering features.
