Moose – Creative Multipurpose WordPress Theme Overview
Moose is a creative theme from Elated Themes whose character comes from a set of layout families rather than a long demo catalogue. The listing names split screen pages, a vertical split slider, landing templates and video-led layouts, and those are the structures a buyer adopts.
The vertical split slider is the standout: the screen divides and the halves move independently, which suits a studio presenting two strands of work. Beside it sits a full-screen slider with image and video slides, parallax, SVG graphics and line-drawing animation.
Portfolio lists come in masonry and Pinterest arrangements with parallax and entry animations, and the blog has an equally long set of treatments including a masonry gallery, a post slider and a vertical loop. WooCommerce is integrated for a small range.

Who Moose – Creative Multipurpose WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Moose is aimed at a Canadian design studio, production company or independent artist whose work is visual enough to carry a split screen or full-bleed video treatment. The layouts reward a few strong images far more than a large archive of weak ones.
It is less suited to a content-heavy site: long service descriptions or a busy news operation fight the layouts rather than using them. Where WooCommerce is enabled, treat it as a small shop for prints or merchandise. Motion is central here, so how much of it survives belongs in planning, not after launch.
Important Notes About Moose – Creative Multipurpose WordPress Theme
Two features still in the published list have been withdrawn: the Twitter feed plugin was removed in October 2023 and the Instagram feed plugin in March 2026, both after the networks changed their APIs, so anyone counting on social feeds should plan for a maintained third-party plugin. Shortcodes and custom post types sit in a plugin called Elated CPT, which must stay active for the pages to keep working.
WPBakery Page Builder and LayerSlider are inside the download but are independently licensed commercial plugins with their own release cycles, and the bundle does not necessarily carry their authors’ support to the buyer. The marketplace declares support to WordPress 7.0.x while the vendor’s newest entry, March 2026, confirms 6.9.x. The demo imagery is licensed to the vendor alone. AppiAppi does not act as a legal adviser.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer licenses Moose, and AppiAppi installs it, picks the layout family that suits the material, and loads the split screen and slider panels with the customer’s own photography, film and wording. Project pages are built out individually, the studio page and team profiles are populated, and the project brief form reflects how the studio works.
Video and stills are compressed and given responsive sizes so full-bleed sections stay usable on a mobile connection, and the entry animations and transitions are reduced enough to leave navigation and reading order intact. AppiAppi keeps the theme, Elated CPT and the bundled plugins up to date, supplies AI-assisted SEO and content support, answers enquiries, and runs the site to the subscription.
