Cevian - Consulting and Finance Theme 1.2

Cevian is a sophisticated, multipurpose business theme developed by Select Themes (a brand under the Qode Interactive umbrella). It is designed to bridge the gap between creative agencies and traditional corporate consulting firms, offering a high-end, modern aesthetic that feels "tech-forward" rather than strictly "suit-and-tie."

As of late 2025, Cevian remains a popular choice for startups and finance professionals who want to avoid the cluttered, heavy look of older corporate themes.

## Core Consulting & Finance Features

Modern Infographic Elements: Unlike standard themes, Cevian includes custom-styled pie charts, progress bars, and data-visualization counters that are essential for financial presentations and performance reports.

12 Professional Homepages: Pre-configured layouts tailored for different corporate needs, including:

Consulting Agency: Focused on expert profiles and service lists.

Finance House: A clean, data-heavy design for trust and authority.

Creative Agency: Bold typography and large-scale imagery for high-end branding.

WPBakery & Slider Revolution: Comes bundled with WPBakery (Visual Composer) for drag-and-drop building and Slider Revolution for creating cinematic, animated hero sections.

Specialized Inner Pages: Includes "Case Study" and "Project" templates that allow you to detail your firm's successful consulting interventions with specific KPIs and testimonials.

Advanced Portfolio Engine: Multiple styles (Masonry, Gallery, Slider) to showcase your client roster or specific financial products.

## Comparison: Cevian vs. Consulting (Stylemix)

If you are deciding between the two leaders in the finance space:

Consulting (Stylemix): Best for Utility. It includes a built-in Cost Calculator and Zoom meeting integration. It is a "workhorse" theme.

Cevian (Select Themes): Best for Branding. It is more visually polished and "creative." Choose it if you want to look like a top-tier modern agency rather than a local bookkeeping firm.

## Pricing & Support

Standard License: Typically $75 on ThemeForest.

Updates: The theme is actively maintained; the late-2025 updates focused on enhancing speed for Core Web Vitals and ensuring security compliance for the latest WordPress core.

Documentation: Backed by the massive Qode Interactive Help Center, which provides video tutorials and highly detailed written guides.
