Swagger Responsive WordPress Theme
Download NowLive Now

Swagger is a beautiful, modern responsive design. It is built on top of the Theme Blvd framework to give it exclusive compatibility with our most popular plugins. With just the right amount of theme options and flexibility, the power is all in your hands. And with a sleek, responsive HTML5 design, you’ll be sure no one will miss out on your new website built with Swagger.


Whether your website visitors are browsing from a Retina MacBook Pro, a Retina iPad, or any of the other high-resolution devices that inevitably will come onto the market, this theme has you covered. The theme’s stylesheets automatically check each website visiter’s device pixel-density ratio, and then serve up all of the theme’s details crafted for their specific resolution. The result is a graphically beautiful experience, no matter the device.


The entire theme, all the way down through the Theme Blvd Framework at the core, has been carefully built around the modern era of responsive web design. No longer should we be concerned with specifically just the iPad or the iPhone, but we need to focus on the entire mobile and tablet experience, as a whole. That is the approach we take at Theme Blvd.

Make sure to view the theme’s live demo on your various devices and browse through all of the demonstrated features.


With complete WordPress Customizer support, just the right amount of Theme Options, and logical default values, you’ll be sure to have a unique site that stands out above the rest, without having to sift through an endless abyss of configuration.

Many of our display options are pretty standard throughout our themes utilizing the Theme Blvd framework. These include standard features like selecting a custom sidebar layout, implementing a custom logo, with the option for it to be HiDPI/Retina-ready, etc. However, where you will find this theme’s truly unique stylistic options are under the “Styles” tab. --

Your first decision will be selecting your “Primary Color” which will determine the outer look of your website. Choose between 12 carefully crafted color themes. Then select a color for all of your content areas from these 12 colors, as well. Pick the perfect pair of colors for your brand. After that, it’s time to finish it off with a accent color; this can be an color you choose from the color wheel and will be applied in a few of subtle areas throughout your website.

Additionally, Swagger allows you to choose between a boxed and stretch layout. If you’re using the boxed layout, you’ve got full access to WordPress’s built-in background control at Appearance > Background.

Here is breakdown of each Theme Options page you’ll receive with the theme:

  1. Theme Options Tab #1 – Styles
  2. Theme Options Tab #2 – Layout
  3. Theme Options Tab #3 – Content
  4. Theme Options Tab #4 – Configuration
