The live design reference is a separate React application. Its private writing studio is not included in this WordPress theme.

Three style palettes, story search, archives and article layouts.

Reading-size controls, dark appearance and a featured-story carousel.

An installable theme ZIP, setup instructions, credits and optional draft example content.

WordPress manages posts, media, revisions, scheduling and users. No React runtime or paid page builder is required. Theme code retains its GPLv2-or-later licence.

Unzip the outer buyer package, then install the inner theme ZIP through Appearance → Themes. Both archive layers passed integrity checks. The theme was checked in a fresh WordPress 7.1 / PHP 8.3 installation, including native search and article navigation.

You need WordPress hosting that permits custom themes, final content and appropriate image rights. Hosting, domains, paid plugins, migration and customization are excluded. Seven calendar days of installation questions via Contra are included with the download.

WordPress setup starts at $129 and includes the theme, branding, navigation, up to three supplied posts/pages, checks and handoff. No separate theme purchase is needed.
