Overview
A sleek, dark monochrome theme with a single electric accent for tech companies, studios and creative professionals.
Graphite is a dark-first block theme in true near-black and greys with one acid-lime accent, used sparingly: buttons, active states and one highlighted word. Hairline dividers, square panels and a 6px radius on media keep it precise. Every photo is grayscale until you hover it.
- Index lists. Projects, services and posts as numbered rows: title, discipline and year; hovering a row shifts it and reveals its thumbnail inline.
- Services as numbered rows with accent numbers and starting prices, stats in thin oversized numerals that count up, one-at-a-time testimonials, a hairline client grid, a giant "Start a project" link and a footer with an oversized wordmark that always spans the page.
- Business content built in (with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin for editing): services with prices, features, steps and FAQ; case studies with challenge, solution, results, numbers and galleries; team members; testimonials; clients; pricing plans; opening hours; a map that loads only after a click; your business details in one place.
- Templates for case studies (full-bleed media, a sticky meta sidebar, gallery), services, team members in grayscale, their archives with a filter, the blog, search and 404, plus custom templates: Landing page, Wide page and Index (project list only).
- Six starter sites under Appearance, Import demo: Null Studio (tech studio), Kast Architects, Iris Vale Photography, Lowroom Audio (music production), Formwerk (product design) and Obsidian Detailing (car care).
- 35+ patterns: five heroes (statement, grayscale cover, latest project, work index with filter, split with services), project index, discipline marquee, services, process, numbers, testimonials, clients, packages, FAQ, galleries with a lightbox, contact, project brief, booking and newsletter forms, journal, hours and location, footers and full pages.
- Light and dark. A light "Paper" scheme behind the toggle in the header, plus style variations Paper, Infrared, Ice and Warm Graphite. Every one keeps WCAG AA contrast.
- Forms, galleries, lightbox, motion and color schemes come from the built-in Symelo Theme Kit. No page builder, no requests to other sites: fonts and images are bundled.
Questions
Where do form messages go?
Every form is stored under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to the site's admin address. Change the recipient in the Messages settings, or per form with the form block's "Send to" setting.
How do I add projects, services and team members?
Under Business in wp-admin. Install the free Secure Custom Fields plugin when the theme asks for it to edit prices, numbers, galleries and other details. Your business details (address, phone, hours, social links, the "Start a project" label and link) are under Business, Business details.
Can I keep images in color?
Yes. Graphite shows images in grayscale until they are hovered. Pick the "Full color" style on an Image or Cover block to keep it in color.
How do I use a starter site?
Go to Appearance, Import demo, choose a starter and import it. You can import it again to reset it, or remove it with one click.
Is there a featured video?
Yes. Posts have a Featured video panel in the editor; the single post template shows the video, or the featured image when there is none.
Animations?
Headlines rise in word by word, images wipe in and numbers count up when they scroll into view. Everything stays still for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
Dark mode?
Graphite is dark by default. The toggle in the header switches to the light Paper scheme and remembers the choice. The Paper style variation makes light the default.
