Themify Metro is a colourful, responsive WordPress theme inspired by the Windows 8 Metro interface. Designed for creative websites, blogs, portfolios, and visual showcases, it uses a distinctive tile-based layout to organize content into an engaging grid.
The theme includes a dedicated Tile custom post type that lets you create different content blocks, including images, text, buttons, gallery sliders, and maps. You can choose small, medium, or large tile sizes, combine different content types, and customize their colours to build a personalized homepage.
With portfolio layouts, WordPress post format support, infinite scrolling, and the Themify Builder, Metro provides a flexible foundation for creating visually distinctive websites.
