WordPress theme, version 1.0.0
A multipurpose theme for news sites, magazines and blogs.
The homepage is assembled from 12 blocks you order yourself. Colours, type and layout are set in one panel, with a live preview of the real posts. Every demo below is a preset: one click sets the whole site up, and everything stays editable afterwards.
Demos
A demo is a preset plus its content. Applying one sets the brand colour, the corners, the type, the header and the homepage blocks together, then hands the site back to you with every setting still open. The articles and photographs of the demos are included in the theme and import from the panel.
News magazine
The default setup: hero with a sidebar, a two column grid, nine blocks.

Cars & bikes
Squared corners, a red brand colour, six blocks and a wider hero.
Open this demo
Each demo runs the same theme files. Nothing in a preset is locked: it writes the settings the panel would have written, and you carry on from there.
The homepage
The front page is a list of blocks you drag into place. Each one draws its own articles, with its own filter by category or tag, its own order and its own card style. Two of the bands keep a sidebar of their own, so the same widget is never shown twice on one page.
The opening block
The hero decides what the rest of the page means. All five draw from the same filters, take the same background — flat or gradient — and fall back to the most recent posts when a filter matches nothing, so a fresh install never opens on an empty page.
Layout A
One large card with two stacked cards beside it.
A clear lead story.
Layout B
One large card with a compact list beside it.
A blog, where the list is the archive.
Layout C
A carousel of cards with a sidebar next to it.
News: most stories above the fold.
Layout D
Layout C on a dark band, with room for a video and two buttons.
Launches, campaigns, tech.
Layout E
A large media panel with a headline, buttons and an optional carousel.
Features and travel.
Article cards
Every block chooses a style; every style has its own switches — where the category sits, whether the author, the avatar, the date, the comment count and the excerpt appear, and how the date is written. The panel previews each one with your real posts.
Standard
Cover on top, text below. The card most of the site is made of.
Hero
The large card of the hero block.
Cover story
Text laid over the picture, for a full bleed card.
Side
Thumbnail on the left, text on the right. Used by lists.
Compact
Small and dense, for sidebars and tight columns.
List
Picture left, headline at reading size and the opening of the piece beside it.
Extended timeline
The same row, hanging off a dated rule.
Timeline
The hour, the title, and a thumbnail if you ask for one.
Bento
One big card and smaller ones, in up to three columns.
A post with the review box switched on carries its score in the corner of every card it appears on. A post whose format is Video carries a play badge on the picture. Neither needs a card of its own.
The tints, the pills, the hovers and the borders are worked out from the brand colour instead of being fixed, so a site that has only changed that one field is drawn in its own colours throughout. Corners are a single dial: every radius in the theme is its own size times one number, from the design as drawn to a squared off site.
Neutral sans-serifs, geometric ones, condensed headline faces and two serifs, each subset to the Latin ranges and loaded from your server: nothing is requested from a font network. There is also System, which uses the reader's own device font and loads no file at all. Headings can take a second family, and every type size on the site has a slider.
Light, dark, or the appearance the visitor's device asks for, with a switch in the header when you want one. The dark palette is derived the same way as the light one, so the two stay in step when you change the brand colour.
Colours, type, header, homepage, cards, the single post, the footer, ads, privacy and SEO are screens of one panel, each with a preview built from the posts already on the site. Settings are stored per preset, so switching back and forth does not lose what you had set.
Performance
The stylesheets are split per template and enqueued by the template that uses them: an article does not carry the homepage CSS, and a landing page carries almost nothing. Scripts are deferred and none of them needs jQuery.
The article page
The screen that configures it is a numbered list of the page itself: breadcrumbs, category, title and subtitle, sharing, meta line, featured image, content, tags, author box, previous and next, related articles, comments. The arrangement decides where the pieces sit; the switches under it decide what the page carries, and they hold whichever arrangement you pick.
A share row that can sit above the article, below it, or follow the reader down the page. The networks and their order are yours.
Criteria with their scores, a verdict, pros and cons. The final score follows the article onto every card it appears on.
A lightbox for the pictures in the body of the piece, with the caption carried into it, and galleries kept together.
A video in place of the featured image, on the article and on the cards that point at it.
Answers as the reader types, with each answer kept for five minutes, and a results page that reads the same way as the archives.
Buttons, section titles, tabbed lists, read-next boxes, product and app cards, timed content. They come from the Pulsar Core plugin, which the theme installs for you.
The rest of it
Most read, most commented, live event, poll, events, calendar, authors, recent comments, a single article, an ad slot, the user menu and the social row.
Organization, WebSite, Article and BreadcrumbList structured data, and it steps aside as soon as Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress or All in One SEO is installed.
A self contained banner with Consent Mode v2 and four purposes, off out of the box. No third party consent platform is loaded.
Header, in-feed, in-article and sidebar. Each one prints the code you paste and nothing at all when it is empty.
The banner renders the form of MC4WP, Newsletter, MailPoet, Brevo, FluentCRM or any plugin with a shortcode. The theme never collects an address itself.
A mobile header of its own, a menu location of its own, card settings that differ between desktop and phone, and a second title for narrow columns.
English and Italian are included, catalogues and all, and the panel itself speaks the language you pick. Any other language is a .po file.
Ready to activate, with the place for your own functions and styles already set out, so an update never overwrites your work.
The articles, the pages and the photographs of the demos, brought in a few at a time so a shared host does not time out.
Documentation and support
Install it, set it up, then look things up: every section says what a setting is for before it says where to click. It is in the package as well, so it can be read offline, and it is updated with the theme rather than after it.
Open one, look at how it is put together, then import it and change what you like.
