Massive Dynamic Theme Review

Massive Dynamic is a multi-purpose theme launched in April 2016, by the Envato Power Elite author, Pix Flow. The template’s creator has developed computer graphics, video items, and over ten WordPress themes. With a neat and beautiful interface, Massive Dynamic will help you create any website, no matter what the subject is about.

Design

Described by its authors as an impressive template, Massive Dynamic is a theme with a simple interface and significant options, without extra add-ons to overwhelm you. This simple design is the key that will help develop your blogging skills, aiming to keep your visitors delighted. The Massive Dynamic theme sets the focus on high visual appeal designed to attract visitors with clean and styled graphics.
The theme comes packed with 47 different demos, which cover various types of websites. If you prefer a business, fashion, personal or a portfolio website, just choose the one you like.

An interesting approach to the Massive Dynamic theme is the slide button function which allows you to control your site’s layout width. Once you have settled this, you can upload an image as background, apply colors, or choose one of the 12 available textures to create a vivid impression on your visitor’s mind. Massive Dynamic gives you the tools to create beautiful sliders, portfolios, custom galleries and more. Guide visitors to your website by enabling the mega menu function with images and icon fonts.

This theme’s author paid a lot of attention to the header section and added five different styles, Classic, Block, Gather, Logo Top or Modern. You can choose the header’s behavior to be sticky and combine many options to have plenty of top layout choices.

With a ‘Responsive’ preview option from the Massive Builder, you can test the website on tablets and smartphones. Also, Massive Dynamic is a retina-ready theme.

Functionality

The core of this template is the custom page builder. This builder works only if you have previously installed the Visual Composer and a Shortcode plugin, called the Massive Dynamic Shortcodes.

With a custom style, the ‘Massive Builder’ is created on the Visual Composer functionality and adapted to be used on the frontend. To help you get to know your way around the custom builder and its usability, the authors have provided a ‘take a tour’ option, with six steps to watch.

The front-end builder is user-friendly and even has a button for ‘New Entries’ that allows you to quickly add a new post, page, portfolio or product. All the theme settings are gathered in a front end panel, to let you live-edit your website using a preview system. In the ‘Massive Builder’ panel, the sidebar menu gives you access to General Options, Branding, Typography, Menus, a Notification Center and sections for header & footer. In the General Options section, you can modify the website’s layout, choose the front page to display latest posts or be static, set background styles and accent colors for portfolios, including adding custom code.

Over 85 elements divided in Container, Business, Media and Shop Tools categories power the Massive Builder. All these blocks can be customized and integrated into your website to give more flexibility. The Massive Dynamic comes bundled with this page builder plugin.

For users who are accustomed to backend page builders, the Visual Composer is also available with all its elements. Massive Dynamic allows you to customize posts and pages with both front-end or backend editor. Five different post formats are available to help you define the visual line you desire for each post. On sidebars, you can use eight custom widgets, and this theme is capable of displaying dual sidebars simultaneous, each with its widgets.

Massive Dynamic Shortcodes, PixFlow Portfolio, Master Slider, are just a few of the plugins that come bundled with the multi-purpose template. Massive Dynamic brings you a list of 11 plugins to help you add functionality and aesthetics to your website.

This template comes with a child theme, which allows you to add custom code without actually modifying the theme’s original code.

Performance

We have tested Massive Dynamic default demo on different page speed tests, and theme loads the content with a low page speed.

Downsides

If you don’t like or don’t want to use Visual Composer, you’ll have a problem since this theme page builder is built on the WP Bakery premium product and without it, your website will work improperly, and you’ll find yourself crafting pages using WordPress’ standard functionality. Also, all the theme’s options are integrated with the VC based front-end page builder.

The Massive Builder is elegant and easy to learn, but it can be sluggish and time-consuming.

If you are struggling to set up a beautiful and engaging website and monetize it, you’ll need an Ad System with AdSense ready functionality. For now, this feature is not available.
