Fågel - Creative Agency and Portfolio Theme 1.0

Fågel (often stylized as Fågël) is a premium, high-concept WordPress theme designed for Creative Agencies, Design Studios, and Professional Portfolios. Developed by Edge-Themes (part of the Qode Interactive ecosystem), it is built for those who want a "cutting-edge" digital presence that breaks away from traditional corporate layouts.

As of late 2025, it remains a top-tier choice for agencies that prioritize visual storytelling, recently receiving updates for full WordPress 6.9 "Gene" compatibility.

## Core Creative Features

Elementor & WPBakery Hybrid: Unlike most themes that force a choice, Fågel supports both major page builders, allowing you to use your preferred workflow.

Modern Portfolio Layouts: Features specialized "Interactive Links," "Horizontal Scroll" showcases, and "Parallax Project Grids" that make standard portfolios feel like high-end art exhibitions.

Dark & Light Modes: Built-in "Switchers" allow users to toggle between light and dark versions of the site, a critical design trend in 2025 for user accessibility and style.

Custom Cursor Effects: Includes the ability to add custom, interactive cursors (e.g., following circles or text bubbles) that react to your portfolio items.

Mega Menu & Header Variety: Comes with a built-in Mega Menu builder and dozens of header behaviors, including "Sticky," "Standard," and "Minimalist Overlay" styles.

## Fågel vs. Your Other Themes

To help you place Fågel within your collection:

Fågel vs. Moresa: Moresa is a classic "Startup" theme (functional and clean). Fågel is a "Creative" theme—it's much more experimental, using aggressive animations and non-standard layouts to show off artistic talent.

Fågel vs. Applauz: Applauz is built for SaaS/Tech speed. Fågel is built for Visual Impact. Use Applauz for a software company and Fågel for a branding or video production agency.

Fågel vs. Essential: Essential is for extreme minimalists. Fågel is for "maximalist creatives" who want every scroll and click to feel like an animation.

### Strategy: The "First Impression" Hook

In the 2025 creative market, "boring" is the enemy. If you are using Fågel, the most effective feature is the "Interactive Showcase." Instead of a static list of clients, use the theme's GSAP-powered transitions to make your work appear as the user scrolls.

Pro Tip: In the December 2025 update (v1.2), Fågel improved its Elementor Container compatibility. If you are building with Elementor, use "Flexbox Containers" within Fågel to ensure your site remains lightweight and fast-loading even with heavy animations.
