Overview
A warm retro theme with 70s colors, groovy type, sunbursts and badges for cafes, barbers, breweries, makers and local shops.
Marigold is a friendly, sun-faded theme. Cream paper and brown ink, burnt orange, mustard, olive and teal, groovy Shrikhand headings (H1 and H2 only) over sturdy Karla text, rainbow stripe bands, sunbursts behind solid panels, circular badge stamps, rounded cards capped with a rainbow stripe, stripe halos around panels and photos, rounded-tab labels and starburst price badges.
Built in, with no page builder:
- Menu items and services with prices, details and what's included, shown as a framed menu board with dotted leaders or as cards with a round price badge.
- Loyalty plans, memberships and passes side by side with a punch-card strip.
- The crew as rounded cards, workshop stories with galleries, reviews, "as seen in" wordmarks and a FAQ.
- Opening hours with "open now", the address and a privacy-friendly map in a visit card, plus an events list from your posts.
- Booking, contact and newsletter forms; messages are kept under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to you.
- Six starter sites under Appearance → Import demo: Sunny Side Café, Mane Street Barbers, Hop Hollow Brewing, Second Spin Vintage, Golden Swell Surf School and Kiln & Clay.
- 61 patterns: sunburst, cover and split heroes, stripe band, slogan marquee, badge stamps, menu board, cards, loyalty plans, crew, visit card, events, galleries, forms, calls to action and full pages.
- Light and dark schemes with a toggle in the header, and three style variations: After Hours (dark), Avocado and Disco Teal.
- Gentle motion that respects reduced-motion settings.
Marigold uses the free Secure Custom Fields plugin to edit prices, details, galleries, team details and your business details. Without it everything still displays; a notice offers to install it in one click.
Questions
Where do form messages go?
Every message is stored under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to the site's admin address. Change the recipient under Messages → Settings, or per form in the block settings (Email to).
How do I set my phone number, address and opening hours?
Under Business → Business details. The header, footer, contact and hours sections read them from there.
How do I show a featured video on a story?
Open the post and use the Featured video panel in the sidebar: paste a YouTube or Vimeo link or choose a video file. The player loads only after a click.
Can I turn the animations off?
Visitors who ask their system for reduced motion see no animations. To remove one from a block, open the block's Motion panel.
How does dark mode work?
The moon button in the header switches between the light and dark schemes and remembers the choice. The After Hours style variation makes the dark palette the default and hides the button.
