Launch of SimpleTastes Web Design Service: ST Base
We are pleased to announce the launch of the demo site for AEDI’s sub-brand SimpleTastes’ web design service + WordPress themes, ST Base, featuring Setouchi Green Fields Inc.
ST Base is designed as a versatile web design service + WordPress themes that can be easily and freely used by medium-sized companies, organizations, and sole proprietors. It serves as the foundation for future SimpleTastes web design services.
Two Themes and Demo Sites: ST Base Top and ST Base Plus
ST Base offers two themes: ST Base Top and ST Base Plus. The difference lies in the positioning of the global menu when the browser width exceeds 1200px (viewed on larger tablets or PCs). In one theme, the menu is laid out at the top of the page, while in the other, it is positioned on the left side. Please explore the demo sites for both themes.
