B. Major Features of Neve Theme

Features are what make Neve a truly stand-out theme in the market. The possibilities are endless when it comes to building a professional-looking site. All right then, now let’s see those outstanding features in action.

1. Outstanding Speed

One of the most important features of any WordPress theme is its speed. A fast-loading website can improve user experience, SEO rankings, and conversions. That’s why the Neve theme is designed as one of the fastest WordPress themes in the market.

Its lightweight and minimalist design makes it load in mere seconds. According to the Themeisle team, a default WordPress install with a Neve theme is only 28 KB. That’s much smaller than the average WordPress theme size of 300 KB.

What’s more, it has several performance optimization features that make it even faster. For instance, if you go to the ‘Neve > Neve Options > Neve Pro’, then you’ll find the ‘Performance’ section.

Once you enable it, you get several performance optimization options for your website. Such as:

• Remove Emoji Scripts: Boost performance by disabling unnecessary emoji scripts and streamlining your website’s code.
• Remove Embed Scripts: Improve loading times by eliminating extra embed scripts and enhancing the efficiency of your website.
• Host External Fonts Locally: Speed up your site by locally hosting external fonts, minimizing external requests, and optimizing font rendering.
• Lazy Render Off-Screen Elements: Enhance performance by automatically deferring the loading of non-critical elements until they come into view.

As a matter of fact, everybody hates waiting and is the same when it comes to slow-loading sites. Thus, Neve ensures that your site loads fast. Plus, it puts you on the good side in the eyes of Google as well.

2. Custom Layouts

Another beauty of this theme is its Custom Layouts module, which allows you to create and display custom sections for different parts of your website.

You can use the Custom Layouts module to create custom headers, footers, sidebars, 404 pages, and more. You can also use Elementor or the block editor to design your custom layouts with drag and drop.

To create a custom layout via the Neve theme, first, you need to go to ‘Neve > Neve Options > Neve Pro’. And enable the Custom Layouts module if it’s not already activated.

Again, go to ‘Neve > Custom Layouts’ and click on the ‘Add New’ button on the top.

With that, you’ll see a popup where you can choose one of the layout types from the list: Hooks, Templates, or Components.

Next, specify the type for your custom layout from the options, Individual, Header, Inside Content, Footer, Sidebar, etc. For instance, here we’ve chosen ‘Footer’ option.

Then, you can name the layout if you want and click on the ‘Create Custom Layout’ option. With that, you’re taken to the editor panel.

Here, click on the ‘+’ icon to explore several blocks to create a layout. And the best part is that the premium version of Neve provides you with several Otter blocks that help you create the layout you want.

4. Compatibility with Major Page Builders

For all those newbie friends, page builders are plugins of WordPress that allow you to build and edit pages via drag and drop. Themeisle team is well and truly aware of it, so they’ve provided a multitude of options to choose from.

It works perfectly with Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Brizy, Visual Composer, etc. And the best part is Neve theme not only works well with these page builders, but also enhances their functionality and design.

For example, Neve theme has an Elementor Module that adds new widgets and layout for Elementor. Such as flip cards, pricing tables, timelines, review boxes, and more.

You can quickly go to ‘Neve > Neve Options > Neve Pro’ and enable the Elementor Booster module if it’s not already activated.

Then, go to ‘Pages > Edit’ of the page you want to configure. For instance, here we chose ‘About’ page.

Next, click on ‘Edit with Elementor’ option on the top.

With that, you’ll land up on the Elementor editor panel. Now, if you scroll down to the ‘Elementor Widgets’ area, you’ll see a new tab called Neve Pro Addon Widgets.

For instance, here, we’ve added the ‘Review Box’ widget. Once done, click on the ‘Update’ button at the bottom of the left-hand side panel.

5. AMP Compatible

If you’re unaware of the term, AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages. In a simple sense, this technology makes your site load extremely faster on mobile devices. It’s an open-source initiation that aims to improve the performance of mobile sites on the internet. 

Google loves it, thereby creating an AMP page is worth it. Hence, keeping the performance in mind, Neve is fully compatible with AMP and automatically converts your website into AMP-compatible version.
