Built With No Clutter, Straight To The Point Philosophy

Our clean code isn’t just for developers—it’s designed to please everyone, including individuals with disabilities and search engines alike. Built with top-notch accessibility and SEO practices in mind, Pressville ensures your website shines everywhere it counts.

Need a theme that matches your municipality’s branding? Look no further! Creating a custom color scheme is as easy as a few clicks. Plus, rest assured, this is a truly responsive theme, so your site will look spectacular on both mobile and desktop devices!

Pressville is translation-ready for your unique language and supports RTL languages too. It’s optimized for the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), and if you fancy the Elementor or WPBakery Page Builder plugins, they’re in the mix as well (although demo data is compatible just with Gutenberg).

FAQ

Is the price of the item a one-time payment or a recurring one?

Just like all goodies on ThemeForest, it’s a one-time payment! This includes six months of support and lifetime updates (as long as the item remains available on ThemeForest). Need more support? You can extend it at any time.

What does the item support cover?

Support involves resolving theme-related issues and explaining features. While customization help isn’t guaranteed, I often provide helpful CSS snippets and tips for code tweaks. Be sure to read through the theme documentation before reaching out for support—it covers most of your inquiries. For more information on item support, you can read this article.

Can I use the theme on both a staging/development site and my live site at the same time?

Absolutely! Feel free to use the theme on as many staging/development sites as you like alongside your live site. Just remember, a single license permits one final live site.

How can I contact you privately?

Feel free to reach out using my contact form on my profile page.

Is the WPBakery Page Builder plugin included with the theme?

Yes, the bundled version of this plugin is included within the theme.

Can’t Decide Between the Wordbench, the Pressville, and the TownPress?

Choosing the right theme for your municipality or local government site? All three themes deliver excellence specifically crafted for this purpose!

Feature-wise, they’re nearly identical—they all come packed with essential LSVR plugins for events, directories, documents, notices, galleries, and personnel directories. While the backend and code quality are indistinguishable, they excel in developer friendliness, allowing complete customization through a child theme. The burning question? Which design resonates with your branding best? Pick the one that fits your vision!
