Find a design around your main publishing format

JNews brings together prebuilt designs for general newsrooms, online magazines, personal blogs and publications led by video or audio. Start with the audience you serve and the format you publish most often. A homepage built around frequent headlines has different priorities from an author-led travel journal or an archive of podcast episodes. Choose the design that makes your main work easy to discover.

Browse a broad collection, then compare a focused subject

Use News & Magazine for broad editorial publishing and Blog for personal writing or practical guides. Business & Finance, Technology, Lifestyle and the other subject collections group designs with related audiences. The second navigation row narrows each collection further, such as Travel within Lifestyle or Artificial Intelligence within Technology. Compare a small shortlist rather than selecting a design from its screenshot alone.

Understand the theme and the demo design

JNews is the WordPress theme; a demo is a prebuilt presentation and set of sample content used as a starting point. The catalogue labels the individual designs and links to their live previews. Each detail page provides its own requirements and import guidance. The features or services visible in one preview should not be assumed to be identical across every design.

Import a reviewed starting point

Install the JNews edition and required plugins listed for your chosen demo, activate your licence and use JNews Import Demo & Style to review the selections available. Back up an existing website before applying an import. Replace the sample logo, navigation, articles and images with your own publication material, then configure any external forms, advertising or media services you keep.

Compare the complete reading experience

Review the homepage, a category archive and a full article or episode page on desktop and mobile. Use realistic headline lengths, image proportions and paragraph sizes. Consider how readers find older material and move into related stories. Plan any specialist requirements, such as market feeds, booking tools, course access or media hosting, separately from the visual layout.

Adapt the design to your identity

Use the available JNews typography, colour, header and footer controls, and choose section names that reflect your regular coverage. Keep the strongest subjects easy to reach. Start with a manageable publishing structure and review the navigation with your own content before adding more sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JNews and a demo in this catalogue?

JNews is the WordPress theme that supplies the underlying publishing design and controls. A demo is a prebuilt starting layout with sample content. Choose a demo for its homepage and reading experience, then replace the sample identity, articles and navigation with your own publication.

Which collection should I use for a news site, magazine or personal blog?

Start with News & Magazine for broad editorial publishing and Blog for writing-led personal sites. If your publication centres on one subject, browse its collection, such as Technology, Lifestyle or Sports & Gaming. The child categories help you compare designs for a more focused audience.

Are these designs free standalone WordPress themes?

These are prebuilt JNews designs, not a library of separate free themes. Check the current pricing and licence terms before using JNews on a website. Open the selected demo’s detail page to confirm the edition and installation requirements relevant to your choice.

How do I import a JNews demo?

Install the JNews edition and required plugins listed for the selected demo and activate your licence. Use JNews Import Demo & Style to review the available import selections. Back up an existing website before applying them, then replace sample content and configure the services you keep.

Can I change the colours, fonts, logo and section names?

Use the controls available in your chosen JNews setup to adapt typography, colours, the header and footer. Replace sample branding and navigation with your own. Review your demo’s requirements before choosing a page-editing workflow, and test the changes with real articles on mobile.

Do I receive the live demo’s articles and images as an ongoing content service?

The previews show sample material used to demonstrate the design. Import selections determine which items are added to your installation. Replace that material with your own content and check the permissions for any assets you intend to retain; the catalogue does not provide an ongoing news or media feed.

How should I compare two demos with the same display name?

Use the alias shown on the detail page and the live preview URL to identify the design. For example, Local News (Locapitol) is distinct from Local News. Compare the lead area, navigation and a complete article rather than assuming matching names mean matching layouts.

Does every demo include booking, ecommerce, live data or media hosting?

Do not assume a specialist service is included because of a demo’s subject. Check your selected design and required integrations individually. Booking, checkout, market feeds, course access and media delivery each need a working setup beyond the appearance of a sample page.

What should I review before launching my publication?

Check the homepage, category archives and full articles with your own text and images on desktop and mobile. Test navigation, forms and any media you use, remove sample identity and links, and keep your publishing structure manageable. Back up the finished site and review your chosen JNews requirements.
