Description
Shapely is a one-page WordPress theme for business, portfolio and small e-commerce sites. The front page is assembled from widgets, so you can stack parallax sections, a portfolio grid, testimonials, a client logo carousel, a call to action and a contact block in whatever order you need. It also ships conventional blog templates with a choice of left, right, full-width or no sidebar, four footer widget areas, and a social icon menu. WooCommerce and Jetpack are supported, and the theme is translation ready.
