Etienne – Business WordPress Theme Overview
Etienne, from Elated Themes, is a refined multipurpose theme whose demo set is built around four kinds of site the vendor names directly: a marketing agency, a general business page, a fashion store and an interior design portfolio. The listing gives no homepage count.
In practice the shortcode library is dominated by portfolio presentation. Lists scroll horizontally or sit in gallery and masonry grids and lead into single project templates including custom and full width custom layouts. Interactive link showcases, crossfade images, numbered carousels and a vertical split slider provide the movement.
Four header types, a one to four column footer and a passepartout border set the frame, and WooCommerce product shortcodes are declared to the 10.x series so a fashion store demo can be made real.

Who Etienne – Business WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Etienne suits a Canadian marketing agency, interior designer or small fashion label that wants an editorial feel and has photography to carry it. The horizontally scrolling portfolio and full width project templates reward a short, strong body of work more than a large archive.
The title says business, but the package is a presentation layer. No client relationship manager, no invoicing, no contracts and no client area are included, and new business arrives through a contact form. Page transitions, horizontal scrolling and infinite scroll all need testing against keyboard and screen reader use.
Important Notes About Etienne – Business WordPress Theme
The published feature list still offers Instagram and Twitter streams, as widgets and as shortcodes, while the current release removes the vendor’s feed plugins for both services because their interfaces changed; social streams therefore need a third party plugin. The shortcodes and the project post type come from the Etienne Core plugin, so deactivating it empties the pages built with them, and the bundled slider is credited in the body but not in the marketplace record.
One entry in the history records work around a mapping function that Google itself had deprecated. That is routine third party maintenance and says nothing about the theme, which the vendor last released in October 2025 against the current WordPress and WooCommerce lines. The vendor states that it does not own the demo images and that they cannot be reused, so licence or shoot every photograph. AppiAppi does not advise on legal matters.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer buys and retains the theme licence. AppiAppi installs it with its core plugin, imports whichever demo matches the agreed direction, and rebuilds it with the customer’s identity, services, about page and real projects. Where the fashion store layout is used, products, categories and all in pricing are configured properly rather than left as sample data.
AppiAppi sets the header type and transition options for usability as well as effect, compresses and resizes imagery, enables lazy loading, keeps real headings and alternative text on project pages, and connects enquiry forms to a monitored inbox. Ongoing management covers AI-assisted SEO and content support, updates, new projects and posts, and answering enquiries and orders, matched to the plan.
