Start with your publication type

Choose News when the core of your site is current reporting and a clear route into ongoing coverage. Choose Magazine when features, reviews, interviews or visual stories shape the editorial identity. Choose Blog when the publication grows around an individual voice, practical writing or a continuing collection of personal interests. These are useful starting points rather than rigid boundaries: compare the live demos against your actual article mix before committing to a layout.

Explore a subject that matches your readers

Business, Lifestyle, Technology, Entertainment and Education provide topic-based routes into the same catalogue. Within each main category, broad niches bring together at least two relevant demos. A business news design can appear in News and Business, while a travel blog can appear in Blog and Lifestyle. Category counts represent distinct demos within that category, so adding counts across overlapping categories would not describe the size of the full collection.

Compare more than the homepage

Use the same comparison routine for each shortlisted demo. Identify the lead story, look at how supporting articles are grouped and open a complete post. Check navigation, reading space, image presentation and the route into older material. Compare a short update with a longer article and imagine where your own headlines and photographs would sit. A layout that looks appealing in a sample should also suit the number of sections you can maintain and the subjects your audience expects to find.

Match the demo to your publishing workflow

Review the theme details for the selected demo and confirm its builder and import requirements for your setup. Decide which sample sections have a useful role in your publication and which can be removed or reorganised. Prepare your real categories and several representative articles before customising the layout. This makes it easier to choose a coherent structure without relying on demonstration text or filling a homepage with sections that will not receive regular content.

Review the complete reading journey

Open the live preview on a phone as well as a desktop. Follow a route from the homepage to an article, then to another story or a category archive. Check headline wrapping, photograph crops and how much effort it takes to find something relevant next. Repeat that review after customising the chosen demo with your own content. The catalogue helps you compare editorial approaches; the final choice should fit your readers, your publishing rhythm and the experience you want your site to provide.

Understand what a JNews demo includes

JNews provides the WordPress theme behind these designs. A demo gives you a prepared visual starting point and sample material for a particular publishing approach. Review the exact demo detail page for the layouts and requirements you intend to use; a preview is not a promise that every specialist service or integration is included. The designs in this catalogue belong to the premium JNews offering. Check the current purchase and licence information before deciding which setup suits your project.

Import and make the design your own

Install your JNews edition and the plugins required by the selected demo, activate the relevant licence and open the JNews Import Demo & Style tools. Review the available import choices before proceeding. Back up an existing site and try the import in staging first. Replace demonstration branding, navigation, articles and media with your own material, then use the available design controls to adjust the publication. Confirm any external services separately and test your finished homepage, archives and articles on desktop and mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between News, Magazine and Blog WordPress themes?

Start with the main purpose of the publication. News gives you a route into designs for current reporting, Magazine highlights editorial features and visual storytelling, and Blog focuses on an individual voice or practical articles. Compare full articles as well as homepages, and use your actual publishing frequency and content mix to decide which approach makes the most sense.

Why are Business, Lifestyle, Technology, Entertainment and Education separate main categories?

They let you browse by subject alongside the publication-type categories. A theme can be useful as both a news design and a business design, for example. These topic routes help you compare relevant demos without requiring every site in a niche to use the same editorial format. You can move between topic and publication-type categories while building your shortlist.

How many distinct demos are in the catalogue?

The reviewed catalogue contains 78 distinct demos. Some appear in more than one category because their format and subject fit several browsing routes. Counts within each category refer to distinct demos in that category; they should not be added across all main categories. The full catalogue view shows the complete collection without treating those overlapping memberships as additional demos.

What should I compare before selecting a JNews demo?

Compare the lead story, supporting article groups, navigation and complete article layouts. Use a few real headlines and different photograph shapes rather than choosing only from the demonstration imagery. Check how readers can reach older articles and related subjects, and consider whether you can maintain the number of homepage sections shown in the preview.

Do I need to keep every sample section when customising a demo?

Use the sample structure as a starting point for planning your publication. Confirm the selected demo’s builder and import workflow, then decide which sections serve a real purpose for your audience. A smaller set of regularly maintained sections can be clearer than keeping every demonstration area. Review the homepage again after replacing sample content with your own writing and images.

What content should I prepare before choosing or importing a demo?

Prepare several realistic headlines, a short article, a longer feature and representative photographs or media. Outline the recurring subjects you expect to publish and the categories readers will use to find them. Bring that material into your comparison so you can judge whether a design suits your actual editorial work, rather than relying entirely on the appearance of its sample content.

How should I evaluate a demo on mobile?

Open the live preview on a phone and follow the same route a reader would take: browse the homepage, open an article and find another useful story. Compare navigation, headline wrapping, image crops and reading comfort. Revisit those checks after customising the layout because your own headline lengths, media and content volume will influence the final experience.

How can I find a design when my publication spans several niches?

Start with the format you publish most often, then compare the relevant topic collections. Look for a layout that can present your main subjects clearly without creating too many empty sections. Use broad recurring categories and meaningful related articles to connect interests. A demo appearing in several categories can be a useful comparison point, while the final organisation should reflect the audience you want to serve.

What is the difference between JNews and a demo design?

JNews is the underlying WordPress theme. The demos are prepared designs that show different ways to present a publication with that theme. Choose a demo as a starting point, then replace its sample material and adapt the layout to your own audience. Check the selected demo details for its requirements rather than assuming that every preview uses exactly the same setup.

Are these designs free standalone WordPress themes?

These designs are part of the premium JNews theme collection. They are not separate free themes to install independently. Review the current JNews pricing, licence terms and the selected demo requirements before purchase or import. The catalogue helps you compare visual and editorial approaches, while the product information explains which edition and access apply to your project.

How do I import a JNews demo?

Prepare a WordPress installation with your JNews edition and the required plugins, activate the relevant licence and use the JNews Import Demo & Style tools to review the available choices. Back up an existing site and test the process in staging. Replace sample text, logos, images and navigation with your own material afterwards, and configure any external services needed for the features you plan to use.
