Hi there,
If you stuck with which theme you should choose to win audience impression. Let's Newspaper 8 theme help you. Newspaper 8 is the best stunning theme for both a mobile phone (responsive) and computer, it has so many choices to custom your menu, header, text, post list with theme panel feature. Otherwise, you can use visual composer to create your own template of post/media grid
Note:
-Newspaper theme cannot auto-update, however, I am owner of this theme, that's mean you can update manually through Google drive (I will grant your access to it when you order)
