MINIMOG THEME (Newspaper vs Minimog)
In this Minimog-WP Theme review we take a look at the most important features of this theme. I can't promise it will stay that way, but the theme is currently being sold for a very low price. This theme is perfect for building webshops, especially in combination with their videos on how to set up everything down to the last detail.

Minimog Theme review: Rating
The rating of the Minimog theme is unprecedentedly high as there was no one yet who did not give 5 stars. The low price that the theme uses will certainly only serve as an introduction because the theme can compete with other top Woocommerce themes that simply demand the full price.
Minimog Theme review: 60+ Demos
Nowadays it is almost absurd to start from scratch with a website or shop. By installing a demo website, you immediately have a design that can then be adapted to your own house style. The Minimog Theme has a 60+ number of these demos. The special thing is that they are all for webshops. This is a fantastic collection of shopping demos.
Minimog Theme review: Speed
The Minimog Theme can certainly be called fast for a Woocommerce Theme. The bare theme without additional plugins with just a well-configured cache plugin produced the result presented above. Of course you can optimize your website yourself for loading time. Follow this tutorial here.
Minimog Theme review: Pagebuilders
The Minimog theme uses the Elementor page builder by default, but is compatible with all top pagebuilders out there for Wordpress. I recommend installing Elementor for free, but much better of course the pro version. All demo websites for shops are made with Elementor and you can immediately continue working on them with this page builder.
Minimog-WP professionele shopping features
As befits a real Woocommerce Themes, it overflows with professional shopping features such as Wishlist, Product-360-degrees, Product-Swatch, Quick-View and many more. The number of features is insane and for each of them they give you a video on how to best use them.
Minimog Upsale Features
To make it even more professional, the Minimog Theme comes with a number of Upsale Features. It is of course aimed at generating more sales with your shop and winning more customers. We can now almost call this theme great. In any case, I'm already excited.
Minimog Shopping Lay-outs
Different layouts are available for both the product pages and the category pages. For the product pages alone, there are 10 variants that you can set with 1 click. No matter what style you are looking for, there is sure to be something to suit you.
Minimog Review: Mega-Menu
Because of the many categories it is often useful to use a mega menu for webshops. Mega Menu can display a lot of information, which even contains advertisements and images. Minimog offers some wonderful styles for this.
Minimog Theme Review: Mobile
Nowadays it is very important to have a well-functioning, good-looking and error-free mobile layout for websites and shops. And I must say that the Minimog Theme has also done everything perfectly.
Minimog Header-Styles
You have a direct choice of 7 different ready-made header styles and 30 different footer styles. Below I only show the headers, you can view the footers on your own site of course.
Minimog Theme review: Conclusion
It is clear that a lot is possible with Minimog. The demo layouts are very good and with Minimog one can build great shops and of course it is a pleasure to use the Elementor page builder to work with. The only downside to Minimog is that you need an extra license for every shop you want to build with it. Memberships usually deliver a lot more bang for the buck than just a single theme, like is the case with the Divi Theme. There you pay a little more, but the use of it is for an unlimited number of websites.

TAG-DIV COMPOSER VIDEO
As you can see the video gives to Newspaper 9, but this is the latest Tag-Div video out there at the moment.
PAGES AND CATEGORIES
The theme offers a large number of elements and shortcodes, numerous large grid style combinations, ready-made category page templates and 25 predefined blocks. There are also five Flex Block elements that provide additional flexibility and allow you to publish and customize articles in a versatile way. You can emphasize the "above the fold" section by using large grids that are displayed across the entire width. Your website will have a professional look with its custom features such as image slider gallery, lightbox effects, social media counters, news ticker, video menus, and many different widgets.
The Tag-Div Composer recently introduced a Fonts Style tab that allows you to create custom typography for any existing block or element. You can combine nice fonts, size or line height. So the process is natural, without implying code knowledge, or additional font customization plugins to slow down your website's performance. Another handy tool is the Translation Panel, which helps you load one of the dozens of available translations and automatically convert a list of strings. Practically every other theme needs extra plugins for this.

You can easily earn money with your website by placing ads in the 18 permanent advertising spaces. These are in prominent places such as the header, footer, article, and sidebar areas.

NEWSPAPER 11 REVIEW CONCLUSION
We are dealing with one of the better themes for [2024]. It is not yet in my top 10 of the best Wordpress themes, but maybe that will change for next year. Newspaper 11 has proven to be the best theme for blogs and news sites for me. Well there are other very good themes that are certainly close. Newspaper 11 is equipped with the WP Bakery Pagebuilder which is another thorn in my side. This is a good but very outdated page builder, it could be much better. Apart from that, I only see very good qualities for the rest. With this theme you can go in any direction. It is not only a news theme but just a multipurpose theme. The theme costs $ 59, a more or less standard price for good themes and the theme is definitely worth the money.
MINIMOG VS NEWSPAPER CONCLUSION
First of all, thank you for reading this Newspaper vs Minimog comparison to the end. Both themes are 100% compatible with Elementor page builder which is great. If you have the money to install Elementor Pro I definitely would , the difference between free and pro is very big. Minimog and Newspaper are multipurpose themes with a lot of settings, you have to love them. Newspaper loads about as fast as Minimog and is also very versatile and easy to customize. Both themes are definitely worth their money if it is bad for 1 single website.
In case you want to provide 2 or more websites with a theme, I do not recommend both of these themes because then it will be much too expensive, since a separate expensive license will be required for each website. In that case, you can much better use Astra or Divi as it will save you money for multiple sites. In addition, these latter themes are ranked higher in my top 10 themes for [2024] than Minimog and Newspaper.
