Focal Point is a one or two-column photo portfolio theme for WordPress built atop our Base theme framework. The design and functionality was conceived from feedback from our users. When you speak, we listen. Then we build!
Overview
Focal Point includes four optional styles to choose from (Centered, Centered Dark, Compact, Compact Dark) so you can easily change between light and dark, centered or top right menu navigation. The homepage includes a special app, called Category Post Slider, which is perfect for displaying posts from your photoblog, blog or iPhone gallery beneath the main homepage area. The screenshot and the demo site both use our free GPP Welcome Message and GPP Slideshow plugins in the Home widgetized area.
