Choose a layout for video discovery

A video publication needs recognisable thumbnails, clear titles and enough context to help viewers choose their next story. Compare Video Demo, PlayIt and StreamOn for video-led coverage. Watch News is also in this collection, but its reviewed subjects are watch brands and collecting, so inspect the actual preview when deciding whether it fits your publication.

Check the video reading experience

Preview a video page as well as the homepage. Check the surrounding headings and descriptions on mobile, and consider where captions or transcripts would appear. Verify hosting, streaming and player requirements separately for the services you intend to use.

Demos to compare for Video

Video Demo (Video) covers gaming, movies, sport, food and video-led stories. Its preview uses a dark-navigation homepage grouping featured videos into topic collections. Watch News (Watch) covers watch brands, product reviews and watch collecting. Its preview uses a restrained masthead with two featured images and dedicated review collections. PlayIt covers entertainment, gaming, how-to videos, movies and music. Its preview uses a featured-video grid beside a persistent left navigation area. Compare a complete article as well as the homepage, using the headline lengths and image proportions you expect to publish.

Import your chosen video design

Open the selected demo’s detail page and live preview before starting. Install the JNews edition and required plugins listed for that demo, activate your licence and use JNews Import Demo & Style to review the available selections. Back up an existing website before importing. Replace sample articles, images and navigation with your own material, and check any external forms or media services you intend to keep.

Make the publication your own

Use the available JNews typography, colour, header and footer controls to establish your publication’s identity. Adapt section labels to the video subjects you will cover regularly, rather than retaining every sample category. Review the homepage, a category archive and a complete article on mobile. Choose image crops and text sizes that suit your real content, then test navigation and related stories before launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which demos should I compare for a video-led publication?

Video Demo (Video), PlayIt and StreamOn are the main video-oriented starting points. Watch News (Watch) is also listed here, but its reviewed content focuses on watches and collecting. Compare the actual previews to choose a layout that fits clips and video stories.

Can I publish video series with written descriptions?

Yes. Organise series and subjects with descriptive categories, and provide context around each clip. Compare the title, description and related-content layout on mobile, then test your chosen hosting and player setup independently.

Does a video demo provide streaming, subtitles or video hosting?

The design itself does not establish those services. Choose your media provider and verify playback, captions and delivery in the selected setup. Use the preview to judge how viewers discover videos and read the surrounding content.

How do I import a video demo into WordPress?

Choose the design and check its detail page for the JNews edition and required plugins. With your JNews licence activated, use Import Demo & Style to review and import the available selections. Back up an existing site first, then replace sample content and review your video categories and navigation.

Can I customise the colours, typography and layout?

Use the controls available in your selected JNews setup to change branding, typography, colours, headers and footers. Start with Video Demo (Video) or another demo in this collection and adapt its section labels and images. Check the demo’s own requirements before choosing an editing workflow.

What should I compare before choosing a video theme?

Open the homepage, a category archive and a full article in the live preview. Test your usual headline lengths, image proportions and amount of text, including mobile navigation. Compare Video Demo (Video), Watch News (Watch), PlayIt with your own publishing plan rather than judging only the sample photographs.
