Every year there’s a new default WordPress template. The last three have been full site editable and straight out of the box, they look superficially similar, both functionally and aesthetically. But there is plenty new.
Check this article for inspiration – the template is suitable for small groups, startup businesses, accomplished artists and bloggers alike:
Introducing Twenty Twenty-Four
You can try the template in all its raw simplicity here:
Paired with Twentig, which comes with a manageable suite of template extensions, you can create a unique web presence reasonably quickly, using blocks of course to create e.g. a simple 1 page website, a blog or a multipage endeavour. We made this site in just under 1 2 hours.
The Full Site Editing experience brings blocks to the areas of the template that previously were pretty much exclusively the domain of the template designer, unless you were ready to roll up your sleeves and learn to code.
If you are not convinced FSE is for you, do not worry, as for now the OurLocality default remains based on Twenty Twenty One and you can still pick a simpler block based theme.
