Hemingway's characteristics
Hemingway is a very basic theme that is easy to set up and use. Here are the most important features:
Quick and easy setup
There’s no need to spend hours configuring settings, italy phone number colors, sliders , galleries or content – just click “activate” and your site looks great and is ready to go.
Responsive and Retina Ready
Hemingway is fully responsive and Retina ready, designed to look great on any size screen, from small mobile devices to large monitors.
Custom colors
From the Appearance » Customize menu , you can configure your options to change the look of your site if you wish.
You can click on the Colors menu option to choose a background color and an accent color for your site. The accent color is used for links and is the hover color on buttons.

Widget Areas
There are four different widget areas: one for the sidebar and three for the footer. The footer widget areas are displayed in three columns.
Documentation and support
Hemingway is a free theme created in the developer's spare time, so it does not have the documentation or support that a commercial theme would have.
There is no theme-specific documentation, but the theme is very easy to use and the general WordPress tutorials and documentation should suffice.
For basic support, you can post on the WordPress.org support forums. The community is somewhat active in providing help and you may be able to find the answers you need there.
