This is the official documentation accompanied with the WPCrest theme for WordPress. It covers everything you will need to set up and use the theme.

This theme is a product of Rhyzz, a web development firm which has been developing websites and blogs using WordPress since 2006. It has been leveraging it’s abilities to develop projects with complex requirements using WordPress by taking it to a completely different level. It is the author of the WordPress Fields Framework plugin.

This experience combined with the weeks of effort that has been put into it’s development makes WPCrest a unique and reliable WordPress theme. You can read more about this theme in the next section.

Introduction

WPCrest is an elegant and easy to use WordPress theme which is responsive and uses a fluid layout. A responsive design is one which adapts the layout to the viewing environment to provide the best viewing experience to the user. WPCrest takes into consideration a wide range of devices which includes desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones and tablets. If the resolution depth being used by the user to view the website is small then the theme will shrink the layout accordingly to ensure easy reading and navigation. Regardless of whether a user is using a device which has a resolution that’s 320 pixels wide or 1920 pixels wide, the theme won’t compromise the user’s experience browsing through your website.

To get a better idea of it’s responsive nature, it is suggested you view the demo of the theme using a mobile simulator such as Opera Mini simulator.
