An Exciting Social Networking and Commerce Template
Vikinger is a modern and multipurpose HTML template designed for social networking and e-commerce applications, including web blogs. The template has all the features that will enable you to modify it and tailor it to fit the needs of any dynamic online community. Vikinger is easy to customize due to its simple design and unique illustrations available in PSD files, which can be easily used even without knowledge of graphic design.
Plenty Of Customization Options
One of the highlights of Vikinger is the variety of available widgets for easy customization of the website. Some of the widgets include updates, badge boxes, calendar, product boxes, media, quests, infographic, stream, discussions, and other options. This wide array of options enables you to customize the website according to your wishes.
Creating a Rich Profile and Newsfeed Pages
Vikinger is capable of crafting rich profile pages. Every profile has a modern layout with a slider to switch between different sections. Some of these sections include about me, timeline, friends, groups, photo, video, badges, stream, post, discussion, store, among others. The newsfeed section is also robust.
A Variation of Post Templates and Reactions
There are several post templates in Vikinger that fit various content types, such as messages, pinned posts, links, shared posts, blog posts, and photos, among others. Additionally, there are eight emoticons that enable users to react to various posts and add fun to your community.
Group Pages and Timelines
As mentioned before, besides the mentioned elements, there is also a special type of page within Vikinger called ‘Groups’, on which users will be able to participate in certain group activities and events, or discuss different issues. There are 3 group types, and thanks to them, finding a particular group and related activities becomes easier.
Gamification Elements
To boost user engagement, Vikinger provides some gamification elements, namely achievements and quests. In particular, there are 36 customizable badges and coins which can be used by means of the included PS vectors.
Detailed Coverage and Statistics
In addition to all mentioned before, Vikinger includes an overview section where users’ profiles, gamification achievements, and account metrics are shown in detail. There you can see account level, XP gained, activities done, number of likes received, pages visited, reactions, stats for a month, etc.
Interactive Streams and Events Pages
As there are special streams and events pages included in Vikinger, the users will always know about any events from other members of the community. The aforementioned pages offer such features as a calendar for month, week, or day, and event boxes.
Forums and the Marketplace
As a part of Vikinger, there is also the forum and a marketplace where you can offer and sell your products. The marketplace contains several pages such as item page, category page, market home, market statements, and dashboards.
Comprehensive Account Hub Pages
The template features all the pages required for an account hub, providing a full account, account information and profile, social features, settings, groups, items, and store statistics so that all these pages become simple and easy to use.
Graphics and Icons Created Uniquely
The template has unique graphics and illustrations, including landing page images, illustrations of people, badges, banners, and icons of the forum builder, etc. The graphics can be found in the editor’s PSD and SVG format, which makes the process of customizing easy.
Improvement and Regular Maintenance
The template is constantly updated to provide all the latest functionality and features of the website, up to date. Some of the improvements include new choices of plugins, mobile header navigation after logout, and a dark version of the template, etc.
Final Thought
The Vikinger template is a great, versatile HTML template for social networking and e-commerce. With its endless possibilities for customization, gamification features, full user profiles, and complete marketplace functions, the template allows building a great online community.
I give it 3 stars because it has a very good design but the documentation is very bad, customizing this template is very difficult, also some basic pages of every website are missing.
You just can’t do anything dynamically with the hexes and badge advancement percentage unless you recreate everything behind it. The more I try to use this template the more problems I discover. Those hexagons, nice as they look, are a nightmare to reproduce in any dynamic fashion. Also, it feels like in an effort to not use jquery, you basically wrote your own jquery light which is a bunch of your own functions (app.function) that just make things more difficult. You should have just used jquery.
There is nothing worse than buying uncommented code but man you took commenting to a whole new level, literally every single element has an opening and closing comment. There are more comments than code, which is actually making it harder to follow. You comment every last line of HTML but no comments on the JavaScript at all. The mobile menu is just horrific, basically puts all 3 menus into one oversized menu on mobile. Speaking of mobile, your idea of responsive is to just hide half the content on smaller screens rather than reposition or resize it.
It’s still a nice looking template but it’s really a pain to pull apart and work with. This template has great potential, but it’s “dead” already. The author is updating only the WordPress version. One of the most comprehensive social network templates available. Clean and consistent design, sensible use of colour, tons of widgets that you can use as is or customise to your needs.
This template takes modern gamification design to a whole new level. I bought the PSD template to support the author and the progress of the HTML development, and I was not disappointed. I bought 95 items on Envato so far, but this is the most astonishing, unique, and playful-but-professional design I’ve ever seen. Congratulations on this work, and I wish you many sales.
I am thankful for finally coming across a template I’m actually excited to work with because it is unique yet also of the highest professional quality. Seriously, I was expecting some basic HTML and CSS, but to see an entire design system, custom assets, and even hand-built JavaScript plugins to add to the gamification feel – pleasantly surprised! The only criticism is the feature I most want to use, the hexagon plugin, is very difficult to understand and use outside the provided demo template. Nevertheless, this still deserves 5 stars for the amazing attention to detail and value for money. Look forward to more releases from this author.
Beautiful and responsive modern design. It perfectly supports any device, which made it easy for me to start developing a new service. Also, customer support is quick to respond and does a great job with customer questions and requests. I love it.
Beautiful theme; please continue working on it! I’m really looking forward to some new pages, such as corporate pages.
Honestly, Odin Design has once again outdone themselves. This is a beautiful template that is well commented and coded.
