Overview

A Swiss-style modular theme on a strict grid: numbered sections, bold grotesk type and bento modules for studios, galleries, conferences and publishers.

Modula is rational. White paper, black 1px lines that frame every module, a visible 12-column grid, huge tightly tracked headlines in Albert Sans and every label and number in DM Mono. Sections count themselves (01, 02, 03) in Swiss red, and one module per page may be red. There are no rounded corners, no shadows, no gradients and no colored panels.

Built for design studios, galleries and museums, conferences, publishers, research labs and consultancies.

What's built in, with no plugins required:

  • Five heroes: grid poster with a red section number, cover module with a black text cell, one big word with a numbered section list, featured case study and a single-row filter.
  • Bento modules in cells of one third, two thirds and full width, an index table (number, title, client, year), a program table for sessions, a facts table in mono, a people grid with names and roles, a logo grid in lined cells and numbered services.
  • Services, case studies and team members with their own templates and archives, filters and sorting, prices, steps, numbers, galleries and related items. Two custom page templates: Index and Program.
  • Pricing, FAQ, testimonials, a weekly timetable, opening hours and a map, and a footer as a grid of sitemap columns.
  • Forms: contact, inquiry, visit booking and newsletter. Messages are stored under Messages and emailed to you.
  • Galleries in masonry and carousel styles with a lightbox, featured video, reading progress, sharing and a table of contents.
  • Six starter sites under Appearance → Import demo: Raster Studio (design studio), Kunsthalle Nord (gallery), Form/26 (conference), Linea Books (publisher), Delta Lab (research lab) and Vektor Consulting (consultancy).
  • Light and dark color schemes with a toggle, and three style variations: Night Grid, Blue Swiss and Yellow Module.
  • Motion that respects reduced-motion settings: a fast fade-up with staggered modules, and nothing else.

Services, case studies, team members, testimonials, pricing plans and your business details are edited with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin. The theme offers to install it; without it everything still displays.

Questions

Where do form messages go?

Every message is stored under Messages in the dashboard and emailed to the address set in Messages → Settings (the site's admin email by default). To send one form somewhere else, select the form block and fill in "Email to".

How do I add a featured video to a post?

Open the post, find the Featured video panel in the sidebar and paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or choose a video file. The video replaces the featured image at the top of the post; the image is used as its poster.

Can I turn the animations off?

Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion see everything without movement. To remove an animation for everyone, select the block and clear it in the Motion panel.

How does dark mode work?

The toggle in the header switches between the light and dark palettes and remembers the choice; until a visitor chooses, the theme follows their system setting. With the Night Grid style variation the site is always dark and the toggle is hidden.

How do I import a starter site?

Go to Appearance → Import demo, pick a starter site and press Import demo content. It can also create the menu and set the home page. Remove demo content takes everything out again.
