Custom Magazine WordPress Theme
Editorial layouts, section fronts and newsletter sign-ups
A good editor treats the homepage like a front page, with a lead story, a clear hierarchy and a reason behind every placement. Most blog themes flatten all of that into an endless scroll of posts. Foxco builds a magazine WordPress theme that hands those decisions back to your editors, with homepage slots they arrange from the dashboard, section fronts for every beat, a long-read layout with pull quotes and full-width photos, author pages with bios and archives, newsletter sign-ups between stories and ad slots placed so they don't bury the journalism. It's $999 installed and configured for news sites, magazines and independent publications alike.
A front page with editorial judgment.

Magazine theme questions
Is this a news template or a custom theme?
It's built on Foxco's magazine framework, which already knows how a front page works. We finish it with your masthead, sections, type choices and editorial voice so the publication looks like itself.
How long until we publish on the new site?
Usually 7-10 days once we have your logo, images and content, though moving a large archive adds time. Rush jobs are possible when bandwidth allows.
Can you bring over our archive from another platform?
A sample of recent stories is set up during the build. Migrating a full archive with images, authors and redirects is a custom project sized to the number of posts.
Can we run a paywall or paid subscriptions?
Ad slots and newsletter sign-ups are built in. Metered paywalls, paid subscriptions and members-only stories are scoped as a custom project.
Readers feel that editorial hierarchy even when they couldn't name it, so the theme gives your editors the controls to decide what leads the page and what supports it.
A homepage your editors arrange
Editors choose the lead story, the secondary stories and the order of the section rows from the dashboard without calling a developer. Breaking news can take over the top slot in a minute and the homepage settles back to normal when the story cools down. Every placement reflects a decision someone on your team made.
Room for long reads
Feature stories get a layout with a big opening photo, a readable column width, pull quotes, image galleries and footnotes when you need them. Shorter news posts get a cleaner, faster template. Readers can tell a quick update from a piece someone spent a month reporting, which is part of what makes a publication feel serious.
Bylines, newsletters and ads
Foxco builds author pages with bios, photos and archives, then places newsletter sign-ups between stories where readers are already engaged. Ad slots in the header, sidebar and inside articles are ready for whatever ad code your team uses, positioned so they help pay the bills without burying the reporting.
Journalism that looks the part.
