Materialis is the creation of Extend Themes, and it has more than 10.000 active installs. Its creators are also behind other popular themes such as Colibri (top 15 on wordpress.org) and Mesmerize, both with 40k+ active installs, and the Colibri WordPress builder.
It seems that Extend Themes has really figured out the secret to successful WordPress themes. Now, let’s see what makes Materialis the choice for more than 10k active users.

Free vs Pro
Like most of the themes out there, Materialis has a free and a pro version.
Let’s start with the features common between the free and paid versions:
- Live editing inside the Customizer
- Header design available
- Sections: About, Features, Portfolio, Testimonials, Team, Contact
- Widgetized footer
- Parallax background
With Materialis free you can create landing pages or one-page websites. If you want more than that, you’ll definitely need to upgrade to Materialis Pro.
Now, I said that both the free and pro versions come with various content designs and layouts. There’s a difference though. There are more designs available in the pro version.
Materialis Free | Materialis Pro | |
---|---|---|
Frontpage header designs | 5 | 19 |
Header layout options | 3 | 17 |
Page content sections | 35+ | 150+ |
What does this mean for you? With a pro version of Materialis you can create a website that will be really unique.
Materialis Pro comes with some extra features as well:
- Logo and navigation colors
- Typography style and colors
- Customizable background for each section
- Google Maps sections
- Photo Gallery sections
- Pricing Table sections
- Newsletter subscription sections
- Customize footer text and colors
