Kadence

Kadence, the Gutenberg-first WordPress.

Starter sites, Kadence Blocks, Shop Kit, brand restyle, performance tuned — built around the block editor, properly.

Kadence is the rising star of WordPress themes — and for good reason. It has the most generous free tier of any major theme (full header builder, footer builder, mega menus and design system included), the best block library for Gutenberg in Kadence Blocks, and a clear, opinionated design system that makes it easy to build sites that look intentional rather than improvised. If you're committing to Gutenberg as your editor — which we recommend for most new builds in 2026 — Kadence is the best foundation available.

Kadence's Shop Kit makes it a serious WooCommerce contender too, with custom product layouts, ajax cart, side cart, mini-cart, conversion-focused defaults and shop hooks all included. For small to mid-size ecommerce, Kadence + Shop Kit + WooCommerce is one of the strongest stacks you can pick.

We build on Kadence using the 100+ professionally designed starter sites as a foundation. Pick the closest structural match, restyle the global colours, typography and spacing to your brand, restructure the sections to fit your business, and replace every piece of demo content with real copy and imagery. Then optimise: image work, caching, CDN, lazy loading — all the standard performance work that gets a Kadence site to 95+ on PageSpeed mobile.

You get a fast, accessible, on-brand WordPress site built around the block editor — meaning you can confidently add pages, products and posts yourself afterwards. We handle hosting, domain, email, plugins, SEO basics, security and launch. Most builds go live in two to four weeks.
