Monument Valley is 100% GPL licensed WordPress theme masterpiece suited for any business portfolio or online store. Allows you to create a website accessible to the widest audience possible. With drag & drop support for any page builder you can create beautiful page layouts with no coding. Truly one-click demo contains uniquely styled pages so you don’t have to start from scratch.
The Monument Valley’s philosophy is to do one thing well: to provide a rock solid foundation for your next business and/or eCommerce project. And here’s what makes Monument Valley a great choice:
There is nothing more important than your content and it deserves a beautiful display! Monument Valley makes your content readable and presents it in a fancy, modern and beautiful style at the same time. It looks beautiful out of the box – we’ve put everything you need at your fingertips to ensure you get a beautiful website quickly and easily.
The theme was carefully designed to engage your visitors into reading and interacting with your website and, in case of online stores, to convert visitors into your customers.
Monument Valley was created to work with any drag & drop page builder plugin and was tested and works with the most popular ones. While it offers 100% integration with incredible Beaver Builder, if you prefer using Visual Composer, or Elementor, or SiteOrigin Page Builder, go for it. The theme works beautifully with all of them!
If a page builder is not your thing, the theme looks beautifully and offers a wide variety of layouts even without using any page builder.
Integrated compatibility for Beaver Builder Header Footer plugin allows you to design your website header and footer to your liking!
Yes, a whole new world of possibilities with Monument Valley + Beaver Themer at your fingertips. Beaver Themer lets you create layouts for archive pages, template an entire post type, 404 and search pages, and create parts like headers and footers. And Monument Valley is 100% compatible with this creative tool out of the box!
Just one click (a true one click!) and your website looks exactly like the theme’s demo website. With all the beautiful unique layouts for any type of page you can build your website fast and easily.
If you are using Beaver Builder page builder, you can also use all the 60+ predefined row templates that are just a click away! (The theme demo content was built using a free version of Beaver Builder page builder. No, we’re not kidding!)
As a bonus, the theme is compatible with WordPress 4.7 starter content so you don’t start from scratch.
Monument Valley adheres to the strict WordPress.org accessibility guidelines making your business and/or eCommerce website accessible and readable to the widest audience possible. As a bonus, accessibility also boosts your SEO greatly! (You know that Google is bling?)
The theme itself passes WCAG 2.0 level AA and Section 508 accessibility guidelines. Now, don’t forget to make your content accessible too. (The theme demo content is 99% accessible, with exceptions clearly stated.)
TIP: Try browsing the theme demo website with a TAB key on your keyboard.
As the theme is fully accessibility ready, it is also coded to boost your search engine rankings. Semantic codebase, responsive layout, proper heading structure, valid schema microformats markup and fast loading times improves your website’s SEO performance.
(Every page contains H1 heading tag for the page main title only. Unfortunately, not many themes do this nowadays… Yes, Monument Valley is doing SEO properly!)
Sell anything with Monument Valley and WooCommerce. The theme was built for eCommerce and works beautifully with popular WooCommerce plugin. Advanced integration with the plugin assures optimization for the best conversion rates, so convincing your customers to buy your products was never easier.
The theme is also fully compatible with WooCommerce 3.0!
The theme demo website is not sped up with any caching, files combining or minification plugins. What you see is the honest speed of the theme (and the plugins the theme demo website uses; our servers are in Europe). Loading time is still under 2 seconds even without those advanced performance improvements techniques! Imagine how fast your website can be with Monument Valley…
Changing the look and feel of your website is easy, fast and intuitive with real-time preview in theme customizer (no coding skills required). You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to use a WordPress theme, right? So, Monument Valley contains no unnecessary overwhelming options, just the ones you need.
Support for WordPress site background and custom headers is included. Theme also colorizes the fancy page intro image, which can be randomized on each page load. Colorization is fully customizable, of course.
Additionally you can tweak layouts on per-page basis with easy to use options (fully integrated with Advanced Custom Fields).
Surely, all sidebars and widget areas are customizable and you can disable any of them on any page (100% compatible with WooSidebars).
Responsive design of Monument Valley WordPress theme assures your content looks beautiful on any device, whether it is a mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop. And responsiveness boosts your SEO as well. With high resolution displays support the theme looks sharp on any screen.
Give your mobile visitors a pleasant experience with optimized small screen navigational menu reachable with a thumb at the bottom of the mobile device screen.
With fully localized code you can translate Monument Valley into any language. It also supports right-to-left (RTL) languages and works beautifully with Polylang and WPML plugins, so, you can create multilingual websites with ease.
The theme is coded to strict WordPress standards (scores 100% at ThemeCheck.org) to ensure compatibility with your favorite slider, contact form, shortcode, page builder, multi-lingual, SEO and performance optimization plugins. (Tip: There is a documentation section dedicated to useful tips about plugins.)

The theme, despite packed with functionality and ready for any type of business website, is also very lightweight. Zipped theme package has only 3MB (while most of that is actually taken by 8 prepackaged header images, roughly 1.8MB zipped). There is really no lighter and more optimized theme currently on the market!

The theme, even though offering a robust base for any business and eCommerce website, scores 100% at ThemeCheck.org! (How does your current theme scores, by the way?)
