Agility is a fully responsive WordPress theme, ready to look stunning on any device – from a widescreen monitor to a mobile phone.
Version 2.1 Now Available! July 14, 2013
How does a responsive template work?
You create one site, and Agility’s responsive framework does the rest. As the user’s viewport size shifts, Agility responds dynamically to optimize viewing for that screen size. That makes experiencing your site on a mobile phone much more enjoyable (no more pinching and zooming just to read a paragraph), without sacrificing complex grid layouts at the full-screen level.
Agility is built on a 960gs-based responsive grid system called Skeleton. Using the magic of media queries, as the viewport size changes, the grid adapts to fit the viewport optimally.
What’s in the box?
- 4 Home Page Layout options

New in Agility 2.0
- BlogConstructor – now you can filter the posts that appear in your blog by Category and Author. You can also create multiple blogs and apply them to the Blog Grid Brick in BrickLayer.
- Carousel – You can now display slides, portfolio items, and posts, in a carousel via FlexSlider 2 (create unlimited Sliders with the SliderConstructor). The Carousel is available on the home page templates and as a BrickLayer Brick.
- FlexSlider 2 – the main slider has been updated to FlexSlider 2 and has been given a slight refresh. You can now use a basic thumbnail gallery as a slider nav as well. There are also a variety of new slide settings that you can play with in the Control Panel to customize your slider display.
- Video Slider – you can now embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo in your Slider. I’ve integrated the slider with the player APIs to pause/play the videos and sliders as expected.
- Font Icons – Agility 2.0 makes use of the FontAwesome More font icons – this means that you can change the color and size of your icons as easily you can change normal text.
- Lightbox improvements – There is now a link in featured image light boxes to the main post. In non-lightbox featured images, there is image highlighting more consistent with the lightbox experience.
- Replaced VideoJS with jPlayer, improved embedded video responsiveness
Featured Media for Posts and Portfolios
Each post and portfolio item supports the following featured media types:
Unlimited Portfolios
Easy to Customize
- Control Panel for easy configuration
- Hybrid customization system – use BrickLayer Visual Layout Builder or the WordPress template system (or both) to build your custom layouts (BrickLayer is optional and does not prevent conventional customizations at all)
- Included starter child theme to make it easy to get customizing
Includes Detailed Documentation with Narrated Video Tutorials!
Requirements
- WordPress 3.3+ (downloaded from wordpress.org)
A note on CSS3 Usage
The theme uses CSS3 for many non-essential styles and animations, but gracefully degrades in browsers that don’t support it (IE7, IE8). That also means that Agility won’t be responsive in IE8, since it doesn’t support CSS3 Media Queries.
