Faded - Responsive App Landing Page WordPress Theme + RTL 1.9.6

Faded is a high-impact, modern WordPress theme designed specifically for launching mobile apps and SaaS products. While Startos (which we previously discussed) is a direct competitor, Faded stands out for its extensive RTL (Right-to-Left) support and its sophisticated use of gradients and cinematic transitions.

It is particularly popular for developers targeting the Middle Eastern or South Asian markets (Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, Farsi) due to its native RTL orientation.

## Design Highlights: "The Visual Edge"

Faded is known for being "eye candy"—it uses a mix of minimalist layouts and bold visual effects:

Gradient Backgrounds: Features a unique custom engine for vibrant, multi-color gradients that feel fresh and modern.

Horizontal & Angled Sections: Breaks the "standard box" layout with diagonal section dividers and horizontal scrolling elements.

Animated Mockups: Like Startos, it includes high-quality placeholders for app screenshots, but adds smoother "reveal" animations as the user scrolls.

Video & Slideshow Backgrounds: Allows for full-screen video heroes or Ken Burns-style image sliders to capture immediate attention.

### Technical Power & RTL Integration

Faded is highly versatile, offering both single-page and multi-page configurations.

## Comparison: Faded vs. Startos

If you are choosing an app landing page theme, here is the breakdown:

Faded: Best if you need RTL language support or want a more "vibrant" aesthetic with gradients and creative angles. It feels slightly more "creative" and "artistic."

Startos: Best if you want a clean, corporate look with a focus on conversion data. It is a bit more traditional and "professional" in its layout.

### Why it’s an "Awwwards" Nominee

Faded was nominated on Awwwards.com, which is a high honor in the web design world. This means the theme isn't just a functional tool; it's recognized for its User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX). The smooth transition effects and "pixel-perfect" spacing make it feel like a custom-coded $10,000 website rather than a $59 template.
