Hello, @auralee,
It’s great to hear you’re aiming for a unique design that resonates with your audience while maintaining user-friendliness. When customizing Porto, focusing on subtle tweaks rather than drastic changes can often achieve the desired uniqueness without confusing visitors.
For instance, regarding the placement of elements like the sidebar on your website, consider experimenting with Porto’s layout options to find a balance between convention and innovation. You might also explore external plugins or custom CSS to fine-tune specific design elements without compromising usability.
I recommend reviewing successful examples of websites similar to yours for inspiration. They can provide insights into how to creatively leverage Porto’s customization capabilities while ensuring a seamless user experience tailored to your target audience.
Best Regards,
PThemes Team.
