Is Volta for me?

A great fit if…

  • You run a culture, music, arts or lifestyle magazine
  • You want a homepage that looks designed, not templated
  • You cover several topics and want each to feel different
  • You sell memberships or plan to

Maybe not if…

  • You want a quiet, minimal look — try a calmer theme
  • You publish one post a month (the colour bands need content)
  • You need a photo-first portfolio
