Theme Description



New features :

  • WooCommerce Ready
  • Light Version
  • German language available now
  • New social media icons

Matrix is a responsive, intuitive tile-based theme which is inspired by Metro design. The tiles can be made ‘live’ to display more information on the screen without occupying more space.

This WordPress theme comes with 10 pre-defined colours and an advanced but easy-to-use admin panel. It is highly customizable to suit the needs of every user. Unlike conventional designs, each tile can be customized to create any design you can imagine!

All the files are coded with valid HTML5 tags and CSS3, and are Search Engine Optimized (SEO) using valid HTML5 semantic tags for each section and are written in decreasing order of importance down the page. For instance, the title and content of an article comes before the comments and sidebar within a HTML file, and titles are enclosed in h1 tags to signify their importance.

The theme is also optimized for speed. It is faster than most of the top-selling themes in the WordPress category here. With WooCommerce compatibility, you can sell your products to millions of website visitors with this blazingly fast theme.
