Burst – Creative Design Agency WordPress Theme Overview
Burst is a creative and video agency theme from Mikado Themes, built for loud, full bleed presentation. A full screen image and video slider with parallax opens the site, sections can run video behind their content, and a split slider layout divides the screen between two pieces of work.
Navigation is deliberately unconventional. A side menu can take its own background image and colour from one page to the next, a fullscreen menu is available instead, and a sticky content menu assembles itself from the sections of the page being read.
The element set is large, around eighty shortcodes, and includes an interactive pie chart, an image stack, icon and text sliders, sentence typing and a pop up message. Portfolio and blog layouts cover masonry and Pinterest style grids, and a coming soon template ships for a site still in progress.

Who Burst – Creative Design Agency WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Burst fits Canadian video production houses, motion designers, photographers and creative agencies with footage to show. The video backgrounds and split sliders reward an owner who already holds material they have the rights to use, and the coming soon template covers the gap before a launch.
A service business without film or strong photography will not fill these layouts, and the weight is worth considering: full screen video and large imagery are slow over a rural connection, which is often how local clients arrive.
Important Notes About Burst – Creative Design Agency WordPress Theme
The declared compatibility record lists WooCommerce versions only, although the listing advertises WPBakery Page Builder, LayerSlider, WPML and Contact Form 7, none of which appear there. One 2018 entry in the update log maintains Revolution Slider while every other entry and the current package name LayerSlider, so the download’s slider is worth confirming. The newest entry, from June 2026, claims WordPress 6.7 where the marketplace declares up to 7.0.
Demo images and the hero video are licensed to the vendor only. Commercial footage of identifiable people needs model releases, Quebec recognises a distinct right to one’s own image, and private interiors may need a property release; flying a drone for paid work in Canada requires a Transport Canada certificate and a registered aircraft. These remain the owner’s responsibility and AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
AppiAppi installs the licensed theme, then builds the site around the customer’s own reel: project entries with video, written credits and real client names, a studio page, a services page and an enquiry form. Video is compressed, given poster images and limited in length so the opening screen is not punishing to load.
Autoplaying video, scroll effects and the typing animation are configured with quieter alternatives for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and project copy is written as real text rather than captions inside images. AI-assisted SEO and content support, updates, enquiry handling and ongoing management follow the customer’s subscription plan.
