Aspen Pro gives you much better control of your fonts. In addition to specifying a base font for content and titles, you can specify any standard web font for many specific areas such as menu bars, widget areas, captions, links, and more. In addition, you can specify and use any of the hundreds of fonts available from Google Fonts. In addition to font family, you can specify font weight, style, variant, and size.

Aspen Pro allows you to specify a full-width footer with a simple check-mark. Coupled with the same capability for the header, you can easily have wide headers and footers.


Aspen Pro allows you to specify a background image for specific areas on your site, including a full screen site bg image, background images for the wrapper, header, container, content, sidebars and more. You easily pick any image from your Media Library to use as the background image.
