Vilab — Recording & Mixing Studio WordPress Theme

About This Item

Vilab WordPress Theme is a creative Audio & Recording Studio WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 4, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with Custom Post Type support. It ships with 11 page templates, a filterable session gallery, a blog module — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering recording and mixing studio websites. The theme follows WordPress coding standards throughout: template hierarchy, action and filter hooks, wp_enqueue_scripts for all assets, and a child-theme-ready structure. Every visible element is customisable via the Customizer live preview — no page builder plugin dependency required.
