Oxides – Creative Studio WordPress Theme for Companies and Entrepreneurs Overview
Oxides is a studio and small company theme built on WPBakery Page Builder, so pages are assembled from drag and drop rows and a library of vendor shortcodes rather than fixed templates. Pre-built homepages and matching inner pages ship with it, with a one click import of the demo content.
Edge-Themes publish it, maintained since late 2015, with the most recent release in April 2025. Full WooCommerce integration sits beside the portfolio, so a studio selling prints or merchandise can run a shop on the same installation.
What it does not carry is business tooling: no project management, no time tracking, no invoicing and no client area that gates anything, and the testimonial and client sections arrive empty. The contact form is the whole of the lead handling.

Who Oxides – Creative Studio WordPress Theme for Companies and Entrepreneurs Is Suitable For
Oxides answers well for a Canadian creative studio, consultancy or small firm wanting a presentation site with real breadth: a few distinct homepage treatments, service pages, a team section and a portfolio sortable by category. The shop suits a studio with a modest product line beside its client work.
It is less suited to anyone who dislikes page builders, because removing WPBakery later means rebuilding every page it touched. Buyers hunting for a photography proofing system or a paid client download area should look elsewhere.
Important Notes About Oxides – Creative Studio WordPress Theme for Companies and Entrepreneurs
The widgets and shortcodes were moved into the vendor’s Edge CPT plugin, so that plugin now carries the custom post types and the shortcode set, and deactivating it takes them and the pages built from them. The bundled WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution keep their own licences and release cycles, and a theme bundle does not transfer the plugin author’s own support. Slider Revolution is named in the body but absent from the declared compatibility record, while that record carries WPML, which the body never mentions.
One body paragraph calls the product Oxigen rather than Oxides, leftover text from elsewhere, and the documentation link points at an older vendor host than the live demo, so judge the package on the demo itself. The packaged style.css version, 2.2, does match the newest published entry. The vendor states that the demo imagery is not licensed to buyers, and the same applies to the display faces. Published client work usually needs the client’s permission. AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
After the customer buys the theme, AppiAppi installs it, imports the demo as a starting frame and strips it back to the customer’s own pages: portfolio projects and categories, service pages, a studio page, team profiles, the journal and the enquiry forms. Where the shop is used, products, tax and shipping are configured too.
Imagery is compressed and given responsive sizes, and the entry animations and parallax are reduced where they obstruct reading. AppiAppi then handles AI-assisted SEO and content work, keeps the theme and its bundled plugins updated, answers enquiries and orders, and maintains the site at the level the plan covers.
