1. Introduction

We would like to thank you for choosing BlogXpress.

Based on our vast experience of developing functional and aesthetically pleasing themes, we are proud to introduce BlogXpress. BlogXpress is a state-of-the-art WordPress theme. It is built from the ground up to fit the needs of small educational institutions with fewer than 1,000 students such as a school, training centers, or it can be used for bigger institutions with more than 5,000 students such as Colleges and Universities.

BlogXpress is also made with UI/UX in mind. The easy-to-navigate features means your users will always be able to find what they are looking for with much fewer clicks. Bold and bright color combinations also ensure that each page is unique, helping your desired content stand out from the rest. BlogXpress is a product of Axilweb Limited.
