Why Use Horizon?

Horizon is unique because it isn't just a standard blog theme; it is essentially a Digital Gallery. Most themes are designed for text-heavy articles, but Horizon prioritizes the "Download" or "Preview" experience. If you are a designer or developer looking to share assets, it handles the grid-style navigation much better than a generic news theme.
