Minimalism is a popular trend in web design nowadays and it’s easy to see why. The less cluttered your website is, the more room its core elements – such as images and text – have to shine.

However, just because Ariel Pro follows some common design fads doesn’t mean it comes off as ‘cookie-cutter’. It has extensive customization options you can use to make sure your travel blog looks unique. In addition to creating your ideal color scheme and font combination, you can apply the best feed layout and post formats for your site.

Travel photographs and tales from your trips should always be centerstage on your blog. Ariel Pro understands that. The moment users arrive on your page, they’ll see a collection of your featured posts, led with the best images from each locale. As they scroll down, they can discover inspirational quotes, find your author biography, join your email list, follow your social media profiles, and more.

Ariel Pro provides you with unique formats for images and video posts. It also integrates with WooCommerce to help you monetize your blog, and email marketing platforms so you can promote it.
