Polyclinic - Accessible Medical WordPress Theme

Polyclinic - Accessible Medical WordPress Theme

Polyclinic is the first truly accessible medical WordPress theme. This is definitely not your ordinary medical theme!

The theme is very easy to use (you don’t have to be a scientist to use a WordPress theme!) yet incredibly powerful, well coded, lightweight, fast and secure. With this theme everybody wins: your website visitors, your website user and editor and also your website admin and developer. Out of the box it includes a “Find a Doctor” functionality, amazing page layouts within included demo content and thorough, explanatory documentation.

\\
The main focus during the theme development was put into making your website content readable and accessible – the theme is optimized also for visitors with disabilities, because accessibility matters, especially with medical institutions! This makes the Polyclinic theme a perfect fit for real-world clinics and hospitals.

Polyclinic is fully GPL licensed, fully customizable via native WordPress theme customizer (with live preview of your changes), supports the best page builder plugin (the Beaver Builder), is responsive and incredibly mobile devices friendly (contains unique mobile navigation) and SEO optimized (Schema.org microformats included), high resolution (Retina) displays ready, print ready, and will never lock you in!



\\ ACCESSIBLE

Polyclinic theme complies to and surpasses the WordPress accessibility requirements. Theme itself contains and applies proper headings structure, uses ARIA landmark roles and attributes, adds informative “read more” links, keyboard accessible navigation (applied also on mobile navigation), skip links, the default color scheme complies to level AA color contrast ratio, and others. With Polyclinic your website is ready to be 100% accessible!

\\ NO BLOAT

With this theme you only get what you need. The theme itself contains no shortcodes, no sliders, no custom post types integrated. All the functionality is put into plugins as it should be according to WordPress best practices. The theme is thus totally transferable and prepared for the future with no restrictions! This also makes the theme compatible with vast majority of (good) plugins out of the box.

\\ BEAVER BUILDER PAGE BUILDER

Polyclinic works wonderfully with Beaver Builder page builder plugin (recommended by Chris Lema!) and WebMan Amplifier shortcodes (transformed into page builder modules). You will create stunning pages directly in front-end of your website! And, as the theme brings this most powerful and user friendly front-end page builder to ThemeForest, you need to try it out!

Get Beaver Builder Standard/Pro/Agency or free Beaver Builder Lite.
The theme demo content is fully compatible with Lite version of the plugin.

\\ SEO & MICRODATA

Search engines love lightweight, semantically coded and fast websites. Great emphasize was put to make the theme SEO friendly and implemented Schema.org microformats will lift your content up for high ranking in Google.

\\ LIVE CUSTOMIZER

Polyclinic theme uses functions build right into WordPress itself, so it is fast, reliable and stable. Plus, you already know how to use it. Isn’t that great? With theme customizer you can control the whole appearance of your website: from colors to layout, site title, logo, widgets, menus, and everything live.

\\ UNIQUE MOBILE MENU, RESPONSIVE & HIGH DPI

This theme looks beautifully on any screen starting with your smartphone up to laptop and desktop computers. Intelligent responsive design feature puts your content in focus on every device. The theme also approaches the mobile navigation in new unique user friendly way! Go ahead and experience the theme demo website on your mobile device yourself.

You rock! You have the best support I ever had with theme templates. 10 stars!
The support is exceptional.
Having dealt with Oliver the last few weeks as he worked on integration with our plugin, I can tell you that his attention to detail and getting things done right is top notch. It shows in his themes and in the quality of his plugin that amplifies them. (Justin Busa from Beaver Builder team)
