Choose Your WordPress Theme

The right theme gives your most important content the best place on the page. Start with the kind of work you need to show, then open the demo to see how its layouts fit together.

Osmium is the natural starting point for 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 match the questions your customers ask.

Built for WordPress

A design you can make your own, using the editor you already know.

Make It Yours

Start with an included pattern, then replace the sample words and images. The layouts give you a structure to work from while leaving the content in the familiar WordPress editor.

Keep Your Content

The themes build their patterns from WordPress core blocks. Your words and images remain editable when you switch themes, so changing the look of your site does not mean rewriting its content.

Travel Light

Bundled fonts load from your own site instead of a font service. A focused theme gives you a lighter starting point, while your images, hosting and plugins still influence how quickly the finished pages load.

Block Themes and Hybrid Themes

Both approaches keep your page content in the WordPress block editor. The difference is where you change the structure around that content, such as the header and the footer.

  • Block themes: Osmium, Xenon, Hassium and Indium use the Site Editor under Appearance → Editor. Choose one when you want to change templates visually as well as edit individual pages.
  • Hybrid themes: Uranium and Bismuth use 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.
  • No page builder required: the included patterns use WordPress core blocks. Insert a layout and replace its sample content with your own.

How to Get Your Free Theme

The themes in this collection are free. Each Get Theme button opens a FluentCart checkout for that theme, so you can complete your order and collect the download in one place.

  1. Choose your theme. Open its live demo and product page to see the layouts and installation requirements.
  2. Complete the free checkout. Select Get Theme, enter the requested details and place the order. The theme price is zero.
  3. Download the latest theme ZIP. Open your order downloads and choose the newest package with free updates included. Keep the ZIP intact for WordPress.
  4. Install and customize. In WordPress, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme. Upload the ZIP, then try the theme on a staging copy before activating it on your live site.

Before You Launch

Your theme gives you the design and the page layouts. Your content and the services behind the buttons still need attention before the site is ready for visitors.

  • Forms and payments need a working service. A contact layout or pricing table does not send enquiries or take payments by itself. Choose the plugins your site needs from the WordPress plugin collection.
  • Store support varies by theme. Uranium includes WooCommerce and FluentCart support. A portfolio or SaaS marketing layout should not be assumed to include a complete store or application.
  • Your content needs a final pass. Replace example images and text, connect the buttons and check your own pages on mobile. Theme changes preserve ordinary block content, but can change its appearance.
