Farah – AJAX Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme Overview
Farah is a portfolio theme whose selling point is movement. Pages change without a full reload through AJAX transitions, a smooth-scroll layer handles scrolling, and the GSAP animation library drives the reveals, parallax and custom page loader. The pointer is a designed element rather than the browser default.
It is built entirely for Elementor and published by pethemes, with a landing page template included alongside the portfolio and blog structures. WooCommerce is listed as compatible, but the theme is a presentation layer for project work rather than a shop.
Because the animation is the product, the demo is the specification.

Who Farah – AJAX Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
It fits a Canadian design studio, photographer, illustrator or creative freelancer whose work is strong enough to be shown large and slowly, and who wants a site closer to a reel than a brochure. Elementor familiarity is assumed, because every layout is assembled there.
It is a poor fit where the audience browses on slow connections or accessibility is a procurement requirement. Scroll-driven reveals, a replaced cursor and continuous animation break keyboard and screen reader navigation, and they are the whole point of this theme. AppiAppi can reduce the motion, but that removes much of what the demo sells.
Important Notes About Farah – AJAX Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme
The most recent release, version 1.8.0 of 9 August 2026, introduces what the vendor calls a new theme activation system. Confirm what depends on it before the build, because activation of this kind is part of the running site rather than an installation step, and ask what stops working if the installation is not registered.
The credits name Envato Elements, Behance, Unsplash, Pexels and Vimeo as sources for the demo images and video. Behance and Vimeo are showcase platforms rather than licence sources, so nothing in the package should be treated as cleared; every image and clip needs licensing independently, and photographs of recognisable people need releases, with Quebec recognising a distinct right to one’s image.
The declared compatibility record stops at WordPress 6.5.x and WooCommerce 8.x.x on a package updated in August 2026, so test against the release date and not that range. The log numbers two separate entries 1.1.0, and an awards widget appears only in the log, so confirm it on the demo along with the licence attached to the bundled animation library. AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer purchases the theme licence and, where the vendor’s activation applies, holds the purchase code for the running site. AppiAppi installs the theme and its core plugin, imports the demo, and rebuilds it around the customer’s own projects, case studies, about page and journal, with the enquiry form connected to a privacy notice.
We tune the transitions, cursor and scroll behaviour, provide a reduced-motion path so the site stays navigable by keyboard and screen reader, compress and resize every image and clip, and give project pages real headings and alt text. AppiAppi handles updates, performance monitoring and content changes afterwards, with AI-assisted SEO and content support, to the customer’s plan.
