Gusto - Vanguard WordPress Theme - 2

This WordPress Theme is great for all types of business and content. It comes with tons of useful options to ease and speed up the content creating. One of the vanguard features is really the Frontend Page Edition feature.
The theme also includes WPBakery Page Builder Plugin ($74) to speed up the page creation process
It has a cool Ajax Page Loading feature (can be turned off). This option will allow a smoother the user experience and will speed up the page loading process;
Shop integration? Sure! WooCommerce plugin has been styled and improved to fit on the theme like a glove;
The theme is translation ready (compatible with WPML), but you can also translate using the control panel (best solution if only one language is needed);
Need more? Ok, the theme offers also a complete members section with single pages for each person. Different teams can be created so unlimited teams pages can be set;
The theme options cover a wide range of possibilities and the theme has been studied carefully to display perfectly on all types of devices. Special attention has been given to font rendering as well as the main layout elements;
Finally, the theme has been optimized to work with the following plugins: Contact Form 7 and MailChimp;

It is really important to have a simple and powerful admin panel. Divided in 10 sections the Gusto Options Panel will allow to fully edit the content and decide on how will some sections be displayed;
It’s also very easy to translate all of the text that used on your website (it can be done directly on the theme options, using .mo/.po files or using WPML plugin).
