What you get
Everything you need, nothing to wrestle with.
Change colours once
Pick a colour in the editor and every button, link, card and heading on the site follows it. No hunting through pages to catch the one you missed.
Pages you assemble, not code
Ready-made sections for everything a portfolio or a landing page needs — hero, project grids, pricing, testimonials, FAQ. Drag them into any order, delete what you do not need, and edit the text in place.
Four looks, and dark mode
Switch the entire look — colour, type, corners, shadows — from one menu. Each look carries a dark version, and your visitors get a switch to choose.
Fast, and provably so
No jQuery, no framework, no build step. Nothing is fetched from another company’s server — not a font, not a script, not an icon — so your visitors are never waiting on anyone else, and neither is your search ranking.
Motion that feels expensive
Work opens as you scroll, numbers count up, images drift gently. Written for this theme alone — no animation library — and all of it switches off for visitors who prefer less movement.
Works in your language
Fully translatable, with Latin and Cyrillic fonts bundled and right-to-left layouts supported. Add any Google font from inside WordPress in two clicks.
Style variations
Four looks, one click apart.
Chosen from Styles → Browse styles. Each one carries its own light and dark palette, so the visitor-facing theme switch keeps working whichever you pick.
Default — Ocean
Neutral paper, one deep teal accent, soft geometry. The everyday setting.
Abyss
Dark from the start, glowing accent, larger radii. Strongest for photography.
Editorial
Warm paper, burnt orange, square corners and no shadows at all.
Signal
Cool grey with electric lime, tight radii, heavier display weights.

Third-party requests
Step one
Pick your look
Four complete styles ship with the theme. Choose one, then adjust the colours and fonts to your own — it is a colour picker and a dropdown, in the standard WordPress editor.
Step two
Build your pages
Insert the sections you want, drag them into order, delete the rest. Every section is editable in place — click the text and type, click an image and replace it.
Step three
Add your work and publish
Swap the demo images for your own. Portrait, landscape or square — the grids crop to fit, so nothing breaks whichever shape you upload.

Before you buy
Fair questions.
Do I need a page builder?
No. The theme uses the block editor and the Site Editor that ship with WordPress. There is nothing else to buy, learn or renew, and nothing that locks your content into a plugin.
Will my customisations survive an update?
Yes. Everything you change in the Site Editor is stored in the database, not in theme files. Updating replaces the files and leaves your work alone.
Do I need a child theme?
Only if you plan to edit theme files directly. For colours, fonts, sections, headers, footers and templates, the Site Editor is enough. A child-theme guide is included either way.
Is the demo content included?
The front page ships complete — there is nothing to import to make the theme look like the demo. A small WXR file with sample posts and projects is included for the standard WordPress importer if you want content to play with.
Which plugins does it require?
None. Business logic such as forms, custom post types and SEO deliberately lives outside the theme, so you can choose your own plugins and keep your data when you change themes.
How long does setup take?
An afternoon for a complete site. The demo content imports in one step, so you start from a finished site and replace the parts that are not yours — rather than assembling a page from an empty canvas.
