Achieve virtually any look and layout for your website.
Stacks allows you to easily and quickly create unlimited, complex, and completely unique designs with just the clicks of a mouse. There are currently 12 Stacks to choose from (with more in development), including the Franz Josef slider, posts listing in Masonry style (tiled layout), Mentions Bar, and call-to-action bar. Plus, you can also install third-party plugins to literally add tens of additional components.
Riding on the Bootstrap framework that Franz Josef is built on, your custom layouts will automatically be responsive too. They will work seamlessly across all devices, automatically adjusting themselves to the screen size of the device they’re being displayed on. It seriously cannot get any easier.
The intuitive drag-and-drop interface has virtually no learning curve at all. As long as you’re familiar with using the WordPress widgets, you’re set to go. Stacks also include pre-built layouts to get you started in no time.
Supercharge your site with unique and custom layouts with this addon!
