Introduction
What Highend is, what's in the box, and where to start building your site.
Highend is a multi-purpose WordPress theme built around WPBakery Page Builder. It ships with 17 prebuilt websites you can import in a click, a full set of WPBakery elements for building your own layouts, and custom post types for the content most sites need, such as portfolio, team, testimonials, pricing, and more.
Everything starts on the About page: Highend > About.
What's in the box
- The theme: the core Highend theme files, plus
hbframework, Highend's own admin layer that adds the About, Theme License, Install Plugins, Import Demos, Manage Sidebars, and Highend Options screens under the Highend menu. - 17 prebuilt websites: complete demos across Blog, Business, Photography, Portfolio, and Shop categories. Each one imports its pages, menus, widgets, and theme settings so you start from a finished site instead of a blank one.
- WPBakery elements: more than 40 content elements built for Highend, from layout basics like columns and spacers to sliders, galleries, pricing tables, and portfolio/team/testimonial displays.
- Bundled plugins: the premium plugins WPBakery Page Builder (required), Slider Revolution, LayerSlider, and Essential Grid are included with your Highend license, so you don't need separate licenses for them. WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, and Social Snap are free and optional.
- Custom post types: Portfolio, Gallery, Team Members, Clients, Testimonials, FAQ, and Pricing Tables, each with its own set of display elements.
- Highend Options: a central options panel for layout, header, footer, typography, colors, blog, and other site-wide defaults.
