Welcome to the demo of Billie

Theme features

Carolina

Billie is a beautiful accessible WordPress theme. It can be used for any type of website, but is designed for blogs and portfolios.

The theme has two option menus, including a social menu, several different widget panels, and a footer widget are that will hold any number of widgets.

The theme is compatible with the block editor, and also includes a Call to Action button and two page sections that you can combine with your front page.

I recommend that you install the Jetpack plugin to make full use of supported features like featured content, contact forms, testimonials, social sharing and more.

To create a portfolio, install jetpack and create your projects. All the templates are already shipped with the theme.

Billie also works well with WooCommerce.

Billie is an accessibility-ready WordPress Theme that has been carefully reviewed by the WordPress.org Theme Review Team. You can find the requirements for accessible themes here:
