Osmium suits a publication. If your pictures need to lead, compare Xenon’s gallery layouts with Indium’s paper-and-collage style. For a business site, choose the theme whose pages already answer your customers’ questions.
Both keep your page content in the WordPress block editor. The difference is where you change the structure around it, such as the header and the footer.
Osmium, Xenon, Indium and Hassium
Edit templates visually in the Site Editor under Appearance → Editor, as well as individual pages. Choose one when you want to redesign the whole site without touching code.
Palladium, Uranium, Bismuth, Stackless, Civic Hearth and Kumo Hybrid
Classic PHP templates with design settings in the Customizer. Choose one when you prefer a defined site structure and block editing for the content inside it.
Every theme
The included patterns use WordPress core blocks. Insert a layout, replace its sample words and images, and keep editing in the editor you already know.
Free themes and Palladium both come through a FluentCart checkout, so your order and your downloads stay in one place.
Your theme gives you the design and the page layouts. Your content and the services behind the buttons still need attention before visitors arrive.
A contact layout or pricing table shows the design. Sending enquiries and taking payments comes from the plugins you add. Pick them from my WordPress plugin collection.
Palladium and Uranium support FluentCart and WooCommerce, and Stackless supports WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads. The publishing, portfolio, SaaS and legal themes focus on presenting your work, so pair them with the plugins your site needs.
Replace the example images and text, connect every button and check your pages on a phone. Switching themes keeps ordinary block content, though its appearance can change.
