Getting started

Updated Nov 6, 2026

Thank you for choosing Northwind. A modern, polished WordPress theme for digital product studios and web agencies, with a filterable portfolio, case-study pop-ups and packages. This guide covers installing the theme, setting your site up exactly like the demo, and running it afterwards.

What's included

  • Northwind Showcase: the theme, as a .zip file you upload to WordPress.
  • Northwind Showcase Core: the companion plugin. It comes inside the theme package (in its plugins folder) and adds the site's features and the one-click demo import.
  • This documentation.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or newer
  • PHP 8.0 or newer
  • Elementor (free, from WordPress.org)

The demo import installs the required plugins for you, or you can install them yourself from Plugins → Add New.
