Photographs sit in arch-shaped "niches", each framed by a second, finer arch that opens a little when you point at it. The work is the colour. It is built on the Symelo portfolio foundation, so projects are a real content type with their own fields, and everything below works without a page builder: * **Projects**: a Projects menu with disciplines and industries, client, year, role, duration, location, tools, a live link, a summary, galleries, a before/after slider, results, credits, a client quote, a map and the next project. Values are edited with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin (the theme offers to install it) and keep showing without it. * **Project pages**: the before/after slider sits directly under the title, the gallery is an arch-masked carousel, and the facts are set in small caps. * **Five heroes**: an arched triptych, a full-bleed room, a before and after arch, a material mood board and a split hero with a "Book a consultation" button. * **Signature sections**: the process (consultation, concept, sourcing, installation) on a brass line, a collage of material swatches, testimonials as large italic quotes and a consultation form with room type and approximate size. * **Forms**: a project inquiry form, contact and collaboration forms. Messages are stored in the dashboard and emailed to you. * **Galleries**: masonry and carousel gallery styles and a lightbox with captions, swipe and keyboard support. * **Motion**: slow fades and quiet reveals; all of it off for visitors who prefer reduced motion. * **Light and dark**: a switch in the header that remembers the visitor's choice, and three style variations: Evening (dark), Limewash and Terracotta, each with its own night or day partner. Templates: blog home, single post, page, archive, search, 404, the project page, the projects archive, discipline and industry archives, plus the custom templates Landing page, Wide and Case study. Template parts: header (centered wordmark), header over a hero image, footer and a minimal footer. More than fifty patterns for a studio site, from heroes and selected work to services, the process, the materials board, testimonials, the studio, FAQ, forms and complete pages. The demo content (Appearance → Import demo) installs a complete studio with nine projects, disciplines, industries, clients, awards and the Home, Work, Studio and Contact pages. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Where do I add projects and studio details? Projects have their own menu (Projects → Add Project); the project details are below the editor. Your availability, email, phone, address, clients and awards are under Projects → Studio details. Both need the free Secure Custom Fields plugin, which the theme offers to install in one click. Without it, everything already entered keeps showing. #### Where do form submissions go? Every inquiry, message, collaboration request and newsletter signup is saved under **Messages** in the dashboard and emailed to the site's administration email address. To send them somewhere else, open Messages → Settings and enter one or more recipients, or select a form block and set its own recipients in the block settings. Make sure your site can send email (most hosts need an SMTP plugin or service for reliable delivery). #### How does the hover preview of the project index work? On a computer with a mouse, the cover image of the row under the pointer follows it. It uses the project's featured image ("Cover image"). On phones and tablets the image shows as a small thumbnail at the start of each row, and keyboard users see it beside the focused row. #### How do I add a featured video to a project or a post? In the editor, open the document settings and find the **Featured video** panel. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or choose a video file from the media library. The project page shows it edge to edge in place of the cover image. #### Can I turn the animations off? They switch off automatically for visitors who ask their device for reduced motion. To remove an animation from a block, select it and clear the effect in the **Motion** panel (or remove the `sk-…` class under Advanced → Additional CSS classes). #### How does dark mode work? The moon / sun button in the header switches between a light and a dark palette and remembers the choice in the visitor's browser. Every style variation has its own partner: Paper and Night swap with each other, Blueprint has a cobalt night, Kraft a dark brown and Mono a pure black version. Pick the variation in Appearance → Editor → Styles. #### Why does the page title sometimes not appear? The page template leaves out the title when the page opens with its own hero (a heading, a cover or one of the hero and full-page patterns), so it never appears twice. Use the Landing page template to leave it out everywhere. ## Downloads - [Travertine 1.0.0](https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/1.0.0/travertine-1.0.0.zip) (2026-10-22, 2.5 MB, SHA-256 8fe70736214cc3b02de6cdb9a71fb3ba7ccbf19145ee48193990f8e2d4aff2bc) ## Screenshots - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/home-02ea9c15cd.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/contact-2-69e8d74ddc.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/projects-c5d8f13ced.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/projects-fieldnotes-app-e748c7dea3.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/studio-b1db561f0c.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/work-2d8d368dfc.webp - https://symelo.com/wordpress-themes/travertine/shots/admin-fields-976ed66f0f.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)
