Whakaaro is a standout choice for those who want a website that feels like a high-end digital art piece. Named after the Māori word for "thought" or "reflection," this theme is a Multi-Concept & One Page powerhouse that prioritizes bold, avant-garde design over traditional layouts.
While Avatar used parallax and Lotus Flower was "Zen," Whakaaro is for the disruptors—creative agencies, architects, and high-end fashion brands that want to look like they are ahead of the curve.
Interactive Mouse Effects: It often features custom cursors and "magnetic" buttons that react to the user’s mouse movement, creating a tactile, high-tech experience.
Split-Screen & Asymmetrical Layouts: It breaks the traditional "box" layout of WordPress. You’ll find vertical sliders, split-screen sections, and overlapping elements that give the site a custom-coded, high-budget feel.
Portfolio Showcase Mastery: It includes specialized "Project Detail" pages with smooth transitions (AJAX-powered) so the page never seems to "blink" or refresh when moving between works.
One-Page Navigation: While it supports multi-page sites, its One-Page mode is exceptionally fluid, using "Scroll-Spy" to highlight which section of the page the user is currently viewing.
Elementor Optimized: It uses the flexibility of Elementor but adds its own layer of "Custom Widgets" that aren't available in standard themes.

Prioritize "Asset Quality": Whakaaro is a high-fashion theme. It does not look good with stock photos or low-resolution renders. To make this theme work, you need high-contrast imagery, professionally shot video backgrounds, and a clear brand identity. This theme is meant to make your work look exclusive.
Are you leaning toward Whakaaro because you want a "One-Page" site for a quick launch, or are you interested in using its "Multi-Concept" capabilities for a larger, more complex agency site?
