# Werkstatt WordPress Theme for Photography Blogs

## The Werkstatt Theme Overview

December always seems to be the months we really get into theme production mode, so we are super happy to show you our latest Photography blog theme **[Werkstatt](https://elmastudio.de/en/themes/werkstatt)** *(see the [Werkstatt live demo](https://themes.elmastudio.de/werkstatt/))* today. Werkstatt is a **horizontal-scrolling theme** with a very clean, minimal design. It’s a great theme to feature individual images on a website, the design feels very clear and calm.

Werkstatt works best with a lot of pictures and it is also a great theme to show images only on a website *(e.g. for a photography showcase)*.

## Werkstatt Theme Highlights

Werkstatt has a unique, responsive horizontally-scrolling theme layout, so you can show your images, in a clean and minimal way without much distraction. On single posts you can show images in a big image size *(up to 1600px in width)* or include image galleries.

A further Werkstatt theme highlight is the **open, grid layout** on archive pages (e.g. category overviews). The grid layout makes archive pages more attractive for your viewers and it changes up the view for posts filtered by categories, tags or search terms.

Widgets can be included in a **four-column overlay widget area** that can be opened via the fix-positioned *“Info”* button.
