CSS Igniter Coastline WordPress Theme

The Coastline theme is built around the idea that visual storytelling should be effortless. Every pixel is crafted to highlight imagery, making it an ideal framework for designers, photographers, travel storytellers, and bloggers who want their work to speak for itself. The theme’s minimalist UI ensures that the visitor’s attention stays focused on the visuals rather than on distracting page elements.

Navigation & User Experience

Coastline uses an off canvas navigation menu, providing a modern browsing experience that feels clean and uncluttered. When users click the menu icon, the full navigation slides into view, offering a unique, app like experience on both desktop and mobile.
