White and pale blue-grey with a trustworthy blue and a gold highlight, a top information bar with your phone, email and opening hours, 6px cards with light shadows and navy bands for numbers and calls to action. Everything is built in, with no extra plugins needed for the design: * A top info bar (phone, email and today's opening hours from your business details) above a standard header with a quote button, and a four-column navy footer with contact details and opening hours. * A trust strip under the hero: rating, years in business, clients served and a certification. * Heroes: split with a checklist and photo, cover with a navy overlay, featured service, search (properties, jobs or services) and "Request a callback" form hero. * Service cards with blue icon squares, an about split with a checklist, a navy numbers band that counts up, how-we-work steps, client logos, case studies and a team grid. * Pricing with a recommended plan, testimonials as cards or a carousel with a star rating, an FAQ accordion, contact details with opening hours and a map that loads only after a click. * Forms: contact and callback. Messages are stored under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to you. * Light and dark schemes with a toggle in the header, three style variations (Navy Night, Teal Corporate and Burgundy) and gentle motion that respects "reduce motion". * Page templates: Landing page, Landing with form, Landing (no header) and Wide page, plus designed pages for services, case studies and team members. Six starter sites can be imported from Appearance → Import demo: * Meridian Group (default): a corporate SME with services, case studies, team and contact. * Harbor Insurance Brokers: cover by category, cover levels, claims help and FAQ. * TalentBridge Recruitment: pages for employers and candidates, consultants and jobs news. * Brightside Dental: treatments with prices, team, fees, opening hours and map. * Keystone Realty: property listings with price, bedrooms and area, a search hero and agents. * ProFix Auto: services with prices, service packages, reviews and a callback form. Ensign is built on the Symelo business foundation: services, case studies, team members, testimonials, FAQs, clients, pricing plans and your business details are managed under Business in wp-admin. Editing their fields uses the free Secure Custom Fields plugin, which the theme offers to install with one click. Without it everything still displays. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Where do form messages go? Every message is saved under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to the site's admin address. Change the recipients under Messages → Settings, or set a recipient on a single form in the block settings. #### Where do the phone, email and hours in the top bar come from? From Business → Company details. Fill in the phone, email and opening hours there and the top bar, the footer and the contact pages update together. #### How do I change the trust strip? Edit the "Hero: split with trust strip" or "Trust strip" pattern in the block editor and change the four values and labels. #### How do I switch between dark and light? Visitors use the sun/moon button in the header; their choice is remembered. Ensign starts light. The Navy Night style variation makes the dark palette the default. #### Can I turn off the animations? Visitors who ask their device to reduce motion get no animations. To remove an animation from a block, clear its Motion setting in the block sidebar. ## Downloads - [Ensign 1.0.0](https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/1.0.0/ensign-1.0.0.zip) (2026-10-22, 2.1 MB, SHA-256 86b020c00eba7f253905b9ff7a3a1e38ce830f19240baf428ff0217afc59133a) ## Screenshots - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/shots/home-279e8cd791.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/shots/about-2-c0e2b9fbc7.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/shots/services-4ade1d1126.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/shots/services-compliance-3abe3455e9.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/shots/team-72618f2261.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/ensign/shots/admin-fields-e6667748d2.webp - [All WordPress themes](https://symelo.com/tools/wordpress-themes) ## Related pages - [All tools](https://symelo.com/tools) - [Agent documentation](https://symelo.com/llms.txt)
