Architecture and interior design firms have an awkward relationship with multipurpose WordPress themes — the flexibility is there, but the portfolio-first layouts, project gallery structures, and visual language that clients expect rarely come out of the box. This review examines whether LiquidThemes’ niche-focused offering closes that gap, with 30+ pre-built demos and a template library built specifically for design-led studios.
The real question is whether that vertical focus justifies choosing ArcHub over a broader theme that might serve a freelancer’s entire client roster.
Quick Verdict
ArcHub is a strong fit for freelancers or in-house teams building a single architecture or interior design site who want a fast, polished result without custom development. Studios that manage multiple client sites or prefer the native WordPress block editor will find the licensing model and toolchain a poor match.
Pros
-
- 30+ pre-built demos designed specifically for architecture and interior design verticals
- 200+ section templates and 40+ inner page templates cut build time substantially
- Elementor and Elementor Pro compatibility keeps customization visual and code-free
- WooCommerce support lets studios sell products or services directly from the site
- Demo setup completes in roughly 2 minutes, getting a working site live fast
Cons
- Single-site license only — each additional client site requires a separate purchase
- Not optimized for Gutenberg, which limits teams committed to the native block editor
- The Extended License ($2,900) is required for any site that charges end users for access — a significant cost increase over the Regular License.
Core Features
Pre-Built Demo Library and Template Collection
ArcHub ships with more than 30 complete website demos designed specifically for architecture firms, interior design studios, construction companies, and real estate developers. These demos are designed for architecture firms, interior design studios, construction companies, and real estate developers, providing industry-focused starting points for different types of projects.
Beyond the full demos, the theme includes 200+ section templates and 40+ inner page templates. That combination means a designer can either start from a complete site and strip it back, or assemble a custom layout from individual sections without touching a single demo wholesale. The inner page templates cover the supporting pages — about, services, contact, team — that typically consume the most build time on a project site.
The downloaded package extracts to a well-organized structure: archub.zip (main theme), archub-child.zip (child theme), a Plugins folder, a Licensing folder, an Online Documentation PDF, and a changelog.txt file. Setup from a fresh WordPress install completes in approximately two minutes.
Visual Drag-and-Drop Editor
ArcHub is built for Elementor and Elementor Pro, and the visual editing experience is designed around that integration. This means anyone already comfortable with that builder faces no learning curve specific to this theme.
For a studio’s in-house team, that translates to ongoing content updates — swapping a project image, adjusting a headline, reordering sections — without developer involvement. ArcHub includes more than 200 section templates that can be used when building pages with Elementor, giving users additional layout options beyond the pre-built demos.
Responsive and High-Resolution Layout
Every layout in ArcHub is responsive, adapting across desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports. The theme is also high-resolution ready, which matters specifically for architecture and interior design work where large-format project photography is the primary visual asset — images need to render sharply on retina displays without manual optimization per template.
The underlying grid supports four or more columns, giving designers the flexibility to present project portfolios in dense grid formats or more spacious editorial layouts depending on the studio’s aesthetic. Widget-ready areas extend that flexibility to sidebars and footer zones.
WooCommerce and E-Commerce Support
ArcHub supports WooCommerce across versions 5.x through 8.x, covering a wide range of active installations. For architecture and design studios, that opens up practical use cases: selling digital assets, taking deposits for consultations, or running a small product shop alongside a portfolio site — all within the same theme.
ArcHub is compatible with WooCommerce, allowing architecture and interior design websites to add an online store for products, services, or digital downloads.
Multilingual Support via WPML
ArcHub is compatible with WPML, the most widely used multilingual plugin for WordPress. Studios operating across language markets — or agencies building sites for international clients — can manage translated content through WPML’s interface without needing a separate multilingual theme or custom development.
ArcHub is compatible with WPML, allowing multilingual websites to be created using the WPML plugin.
Cross-Browser Compatibility and Framework
The theme is tested across Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, and Edge, covering the browsers that account for the vast majority of professional and consumer web traffic. It is built on Bootstrap 4.x, a well-documented front-end framework that gives developers a predictable grid and component system to work from if customization extends beyond the visual editor.
For studios handing a finished site to a client’s internal team, broad browser coverage reduces the risk of layout inconsistencies surfacing after handoff — a common friction point with niche or less-tested themes.
Installation and Setup
- Purchase ArcHub from Themeforest and download the package. Extract the archive — it contains the main theme file (
archub.zip), a child theme file (archub-child.zip), a Plugins folder, a Licensing folder, an Online Documentation PDF, and achangelog.txt.
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme. Upload
archub.zipand activate it. If you plan to customize the theme, upload and activatearchub-child.zipinstead and use that as your working theme.
- Install and activate the companion plugins. ArcHub works with Elementor and Elementor Pro — install and activate Elementor; Elementor Pro is supported for extended functionality. WooCommerce is required if you intend to run an online store. WPML is required for multilingual sites. Install each directly through the WordPress plugin directory or from the Plugins folder included in the downloaded package.
- Once the theme and plugins are active, navigate to the theme’s demo import area from the dashboard. Select the demo that best matches your project and import it. Setup from installation to a working demo takes approximately two minutes.
- With the demo content in place, use the Elementor editor to swap in your own content — portfolio projects, team members, service pages, and contact details. The 200+ section templates and 40+ inner page templates give you additional building blocks beyond the imported demo.
- Review the Online Documentation PDF included in the downloaded package for guidance on theme options, widget areas, and any configuration specific to your chosen demo.

ArcHub covers a wide WordPress version range, from 4.9.x up to 6.8.x, making it compatible with both long-standing installations and current deployments. The theme has been tested on PHP 8.4.
WooCommerce compatibility spans versions 5.x through 8.x, covering several release generations. WPML handles multilingual requirements for studios serving international clients. The theme is not Gutenberg-optimized, so users who rely on the block editor for page building should factor that into their workflow planning — the visual editing experience is designed around Elementor.
ArcHub Pricing
ArcHub is a premium theme sold exclusively through Themeforest. There is no free version or trial tier.
Regular License — $59
Covers a single end product. End users of that product cannot be charged for access. This is the standard choice for architecture firms, interior design studios, or freelancers building a site for a single client.
Extended License — $2,900
Also covers one end product, but permits charging end users for access — relevant if the site is a paid membership platform, a subscription-based portfolio service, or a similar monetized product.
Both licenses include six months of support from LiquidThemes. ThemeForest also offers an optional support extension to 12 months. At the time of writing, the product page displays both $41.13 and $17.63 in relation to the support extension, but it does not clearly indicate which is the current purchase price and which, if either, is a promotional or legacy price. Check the ArcHub product page for the latest support pricing before purchasing.
Neither license covers multiple sites. Each additional project requires a separate purchase.

If your site is an architecture or interior design portfolio, ArcHub’s curated demo library shortens the build considerably. If you need a theme that works equally well across unrelated industries or client types, one of the multipurpose options above will give you more room to adapt.
