Impreza is a premium creative theme, developed by UpSolution, an Envato power elite author. This template is versatile, with many features that make it easily integrable in the multi-purpose category. Impreza is a nice theme if you plan to build a creative, personal blog or a portfolio website. Beautiful demos, custom header styles, grids and image sliders will give you a lovely WordPress experience.
Design
Impreza comes with a clean and modern design built for a beautiful, creative website using strong visual elements. The authors created a theme that will behave just as well on small screen devices as on desktop with fully responsive and retina ready layouts. If you like a particular design, you don’t have to build it from scratch. With the one-click import system, you can load one of the pre-built demos like Creative, Portfolio, Blog, Restaurant or the theme’s main demo.
When creating a new page, you can customize the header to be sticky or transparent on each page, individually. If you want to choose a global setting for the header section, just enable it from the Theme Options panel. The UpSolution developers improved Impreza with a drag and drop Header Builder, that allow you to add social icons, click-me buttons, text, colors. You can set the header to be horizontally or vertically oriented, and you can apply one of the 14 pre-built Header Templates. The website’s footer section can be styled as well, with a compact or a modern layout. Also, users can set up the desired number of columns, widgets, and a copyright text.
With Impreza, you can customize posts and pages to have unique layouts. To style a post, you can use an audio, video, gallery, image, quote or link post format. The Impreza theme also comes with over 15 custom elements like Portfolio Grid, Image Slider, Testimonial, Sharing Buttons or Social links. These block elements help you give a beautiful visual appeal to your pages.
Portfolios have a dedicated section, and you can style them individually. It’s easy to append these into categories and display them in your pages. You can show a portfolio item using a lightbox effect or as a custom link. Besides this custom feature, you can show your beautiful image sets in grids or carousels using the Logos Showcase element.
The author developed four custom widgets: Contacts, Login, Social Links and the UpSolution Portfolio Grid. You can insert them in the sidebar section along with other standard WordPress widgets.
Functionality
The Impreza theme comes with a settings panel that gathers options related to layout, menu, header & footer, typography, and seven more sections. The most of the options can be customized using a control bar or with standard ‘on’ and ‘off’ buttons. If you want to create beautiful pages with the drag and drop functionality, you can use the Visual Composer page builder. In Impreza, the drag and drop page builder can be utilized in both backend and frontend of the website.
The UpSolution author knows that the above the fold section is essential for visitors engagement, so the Impreza theme comes with a custom Header Builder which gives you the possibility to customize the website’s header using the drag and drop system. If you want to style this section, you can choose from 12 versatile elements, background images or using a pre-made header template.
Impreza comes with premium plugins like Slider Revolution, and Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer and is compatible with plugins like CodeLights, Gravity Forms, WooCommerce or WPML.
Impreza comes with support for languages written in RTL direction.

Performance
We have tested Impreza’s default demo on different page speed tests, and the content loads with a very high speed.
The theme’s documentation is very rich, with explicit details and many screen shots. Impreza’s documentation has extra information about how to optimize your website and search button to find everything with ease.
