Voyage by WPZoom is a clean, versatile theme suitable for business websites, portfolios, (travel) blogs, and travel agencies.

The theme supports natively three WordPress 3 menus:

  • Top Navigation menu – right aligned in the header
  • Footer Navigation menu – below the footer widgets
  • Sidebar Navigation menu – at the top of the sidebar

Any of these menus can be disabled.

Voyage installs with eight custom widgets:

  • Facebook Like Box
  • Featured Category
  • Flikr
  • Recent Comments
  • Recent Posts
  • Social Widget
  • Twitter
  • Two Categories/Pages

The Two Categories/Pages widget displays two columns, each populated with either a page or a post from a category of your choice. By adding this widget to the Homepage Content Widgets, you can create blurbs or a grid layout on the home page.

This theme serves five widgetized areas:

  • Homepage Content Widgets
  • Sidebar
  • three Footer Columns

The WPZoom panel includes the Theme Options Panel and the Update Framework page.

The Theme Options panel incorporates six vertical tabbed sections:

  • General
  • Homepage
  • Banners
  • SEO
  • Miscellaneous
  • Import/Export

Each tab on its turn has one or more sub tabs. Hence, the panel offers an easy way to personalize your theme.

The import/export feature gives you the ability to import and export the settings of the theme as well as those of the widgets.

The Default Layout option let you choose from a sidebar on the left side, on the right side, or no sidebar at all. While creating a post, you can always override this default layout for that specific post.

The home page can be assembled from the Featured Slider, a Teaser (welcome text), any widgets added to the Homepage Content Widgets and Recent Post. All these components are optional.

The theme offers four page templates: Default (right sidebar), Full Width, Gallery Page (Default), Gallery Page (Full Width), and Reversed Sidebar.

Since WPZoom Voyage is a minimalist theme, it does come with any facilities to modify the default color scheme. The best way to make any modifications in this field is with a child theme.

The Featured Image is supported partly; the image will display on index pages only, not as first image on single post pages. If you would like to display the Featured Image also as the first image in a post, you only have to push the Insert into Post button, right next to the Use as a featured image link.

The stated price of $69 includes two themes; next to the purchased theme, you are allowed to pick a free bonus theme – so will get two themes all together.
