Block Themes Built by a WordPress Core Contributor
Page builders like Elementor and Divi bolt 500KB of CSS and JavaScript onto every page, then trap your content in proprietary markup. A block theme loads faster, edits in the block editor, and stays aligned with WordPress itself. I’ve contributed to WordPress Core and I build themes the way Full Site Editing was meant to work.
Why your current theme holds you back
Page builder bloat
Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery add 500KB or more of CSS and JS to every page. The builder becomes your single biggest Core Web Vitals bottleneck.
Vendor lock-in
Try moving off Elementor. Your content is welded into shortcodes and proprietary markup. Years of work, held hostage by one plugin.
No design system
Every page looks slightly different because there’s nothing enforcing colors, spacing, and type. The site reads as stitched together.
Update anxiety
Classic themes crack on WordPress updates. You’re stuck on old PHP because updating means a rebuild. That’s compounding technical debt.
Mobile afterthought
A theme designed desktop-first in 2019 has responsive bolted on. Google’s mobile-first index doesn’t forgive that.
No pattern library
Your team rebuilds the same hero, pricing, and testimonial layouts from scratch every time. No reusable patterns, no consistency.
What’s in your block theme
A complete theme.json design system, a reusable pattern library, and zero page builder overhead. Built to outlive the next ten WordPress releases.
- Custom theme.json with colors, typography, and spacing tokens
- Reusable block patterns for every page type
- Editable template parts for header, footer, and sidebar
- Sub-2-second loads with zero page builder weight
- Automatic dark mode via CSS custom properties
- WCAG 2.2 AA pass with an accessibility audit
- Style variations for seasonal or campaign redesigns
- Optional custom blocks, docs, and a team training session
Before and after
How I build your theme
Design system audit
I document your brand’s colors, type, spacing, and components. That becomes the theme.json foundation.
Theme architecture
I build the template hierarchy, pattern categories, and style variations. Everything in the block editor, nothing hardcoded.
Pattern library
Every recurring layout becomes a reusable pattern, so your team drags and drops instead of rebuilding.
Launch & train
I migrate content, test across devices, and run a training session. Your team owns the theme from day one.
