THE ULTIMATE DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Dynamic Content
System
Avada’s new Dynamic Content System takes flexibility to a new level. The most important benefit is how this transforms your design. Choose any regular post and recreate a new layout that is truly unique in structure and composition.
You can, for example, change the position and display of the Blog post title anywhere within a post, as many times as you wish. Also, display categories, featured images, post tags, custom fields, etc., wherever you like, and the information is automatically pulled from the database.
ADD DEPTH & STYLE TO CONTAINERS & COLUMNS
Gradient
Backgrounds
Background gradients are stunning, they will transform any container or column background. Used as a stylish overlay or instead of a background image, you can make sure that sections of your page content are vibrant.
You can use any color or combination thereof, choose the angle, the type, and even decide where a gradient starts and ends, giving you complete control over your design decisions.
ENHANCE YOUR CONTAINERS & COLUMNS
Filters & Styling
Options
Filters are fabulous! Need to completely transform the opacity, hue, saturation, or obscure the content inside your columns or even containers? Now you can, with the new Filter built into Avada 6.1
Control the color, blur, opacity, sepia, saturation, and the contrast of your content and set different options for both inactive and hover states. This is an excellent option for vibrant hover effects too.
