A structured corporate-industrial theme for manufacturers and logistics companies: capabilities, industries served, facilities and global reach.

== Description ==

Forgeline is a block theme for component makers, contract packagers, machinery builders, freight forwarders and warehousing providers. It is built on a strict grid of ruled data rows and cards with a signal-orange top rule, wide Saira headings, container-style ID tags ("FL-07 / Global reach") and deep navy bands.

* **Global reach band:** a dotted world map with dashed freight routes between hubs and counting numbers (countries, shipments, tonnes, on-time rate), plus a scrolling row of port codes.
* **Capabilities, case studies and leadership:** the business foundation's services (shown as capabilities), case studies and team, with designed archives, a filter bar, single pages with spec sheets, KPI rows and related work.
* **Request for quote:** a kit form with capability, quantity, incoterm and delivery date; on a capability page the form already knows which capability the visitor is looking at.
* **Facilities and locations:** a data sheet of sites with area and certifications, the head office map (loaded from OpenStreetMap only after a click) and a "Locations" page template.
* **Five heroes:** industrial cover with stats, global reach, featured case study with spec sheet, capability finder with filters, and a split hero with a capability index.
* **More patterns:** industries served, certifications row, "From order to delivery" process route, tracking and technology, careers teaser, testimonials, questions, plant tour gallery with lightbox, news grid, contact and newsletter forms, footers and seven full pages.
* **Light and dark schemes** with a toggle in the header, and four style variations: Night Freight (dark), Teal Ops, Red Line and Graphite Steel.
* Built-in forms with a Messages screen, motion that respects reduced-motion settings, no external requests.

Forgeline uses the free Secure Custom Fields plugin to edit capability prices, case study numbers, team details and your company details. Without it everything still displays.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do form messages go? =

Every submission is stored under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to the address in Messages → Settings (the site admin email by default). A form's own recipient can be set in its block settings.

= How do I change the company phone, address, hours and quote page? =

Under Business → Business details. The utility bar, footer, contact sections and every "Request a quote" button read them.

= How do I import the demo? =

Appearance → Import demo. It creates sample capabilities, case studies, team members, testimonials, FAQs, pages and a menu that you can remove again with one click.

= Can I turn off dark mode? =

Pick a style variation in the Site Editor. Night Freight is dark only; the others follow the visitor's system setting and the header toggle.

= Do the animations respect accessibility settings? =

Yes. With "reduce motion" enabled in the operating system, entrance animations, counting numbers, the port marquee and the animated routes are switched off.
