Put consumers first with review score functionality
With so many interesting tech products on the market it can be daunting for consumers to hunt down the device that's right for them. Take advantage of TechNews review functionality to display product ratings across multiple categories in an animated layout, letting visitors see your expert opinion at a glance so they can make the right purchase.

In-article slideshows that blend seamlessly with the written content can display multiple photos with automatic transitions, making for a modern post layout that gives even the biggest review sites a run for their money!
Four different headers add diverse style options
Pick a header look that suits your audience; go for an animated carousel-style that boasts expanding hover animations and large images, or touch-friendly grid layouts with beautiful borderless images that highlight multiple articles at a glance. With professional-grade design, your site's first impression can make an impact that inspires readers to discover the wealth of content you have to offer. What's more, switching between headers is as easy as switching an option in the Theme Customizer with a live preview for changes, so you can experiment to find the perfect header for your needs.
Offer convenient video content on your frontpage
Multimedia content is a core part of any tech review site; users like to be able to see products in action to better inform their buying decisions. TechNews makes watching video content on your site more comfortable than ever with a dedicated videos section on the frontpage to highlight your video posts; users can click on the post title to navigate to the post as normal, or click on the preview image to load the video in a popup overlay so they can watch the video directly on the frontpage. The great part is, you don't even need to do anything special except decide what posts to display; our special plugin will automatically pull the embedded video from the article, no additional setup needed.
Serve all your content to the frontpage with dynamic post highlights
One of the toughest challenges for any magazine portal is reducing bounce-rate; your site has just a few short seconds to convince readers that it's worth sticking around. TechNews is equipped with a visually-distinct frontpage that highlights a range of your posts across multiple categories. Users can switch between a vertical and horizontal style post listings, see the latest reviews and their scores as well as what posts are getting the most comments and highest ratings, or watch videos without leaving the frontpage. Like the video section, these powerful tools are all provided by a single plugin, News Show Pro, that boasts an incredible range of options for you to control exactly where all your posts are pulled from and how they are displayed.
