By Mohammad Shohag


Influenza is a modern editorial template for publishers, newsrooms,magazines and personal blogs. It pairs a classic newspaper layout (boldmasthead, ruled navigation, multi-column front page) with clean typography and plenty of white space, so your stories stay the focus.


Every page is built from sections you can add, remove and reorder in SanityStudio, with no code needed. Pick the stories for your hero slider, choosewhat goes in each column of the front page, and organise posts intocategories that get their own paginated pages automatically.


Posts support images, videos, tags and rich article bodies with picturesthat can sit full width or float beside the text. A working contact formsends messages straight to your inbox through Resend.


Influenza comes with complete demo content (posts, authors, categories,images and videos) that you can import in one command, so your site looksfinished from the first run.
