A technical, data-rich block theme for commercial property agents: offices, retail units, industrial space and land.

== Description ==

Frontage gives a commercial agency a site that reads like a good set of particulars: blueprint grid paper, drawing-frame panels with corner ticks, dimension lines, tabular figures in IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono, and strong colour coding by sector (offices blue, retail plum, industrial amber, land green). Light by default, with a "night drawing" dark scheme one click away.

* Availability search on a drawing-frame panel over the hero photo: keyword, sector, location, rent or price, to let or for sale.
* Listing cards drawn like a title block: a sector stripe, the reference, floor area, site area and availability in a ruled row, the rent per year or the price.
* Particulars pages: a grid-paper head with sector, address, reference and rent; the gallery; a title block of figures; numbered sections for the description, specification, floor plans, map and energy; a sticky key-terms sheet with the brochure as the main button, the listing agent and a viewing request; comparable space.
* Schedule of accommodation (a table style for floors, uses and areas), heads of terms (a key-terms list style), an availability schedule of listings as rows, sector tiles, markets, services in numbered cells, track record figures that count up, an occupiers marquee, client notes and leasing questions.
* "Instruct us" for landlords (instruction form), a requirement form for occupiers, a viewing request form, a contact form and the weekly availability bulletin.
* Five heroes: glass tower with the search, availability in numbers, floor plan on the blueprint with dimension lines, building spotlight with key terms, and a background video (pausable, poster only for reduced motion).
* Block styles: Grid paper, Drawing frame, Sheet, Night band and Blueprint (groups), Ruled columns, Sheet label, Dimension line, Tabular figure and Lead (paragraphs), Corner ticks and Plan on grid (images), Crop marks (covers), Schedule (tables), Key terms and Specification (lists), Outline and Signal amber (buttons), Clause (details), Memo (quotes), Dimension line (separators).
* Style variations: Night office (dark), Steel (grey-blue), Brick (warm red) and Paper (off-white and black, no blue). Each light variation has its own dark scheme.
* Templates for the blog, posts, pages, archives, search, 404, every property and agent template of the real estate foundation, and custom templates: Landing page, Full width and Drawing sheet (a page with a side index).
* A commercial demo set (Appearance → Import demo, "Commercial agency"): eight listings in and around Lisbon (three offices, two retail units, two industrial units, one development site), three agents, Home, About, Contact and Instruct us pages and a menu.

Built in, no plugins needed: properties and agents, search and filters, galleries, floor plans, maps, viewing requests (Symelo real estate foundation); forms with a Messages screen, galleries with a lightbox, featured video, entrance animations, light/dark color schemes and the demo import (Symelo Theme Kit). Custom fields use the free Secure Custom Fields plugin, which the theme offers to install with one click.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do sectors and their colours work? =

Sectors are property types. The demo creates "Commercial" with the children Office, Retail, Industrial and Land; any type with one of those slugs (or below one of them) gets its colour on cards, particulars, tiles and links. The Sectors pattern shows the types under "Commercial".

= How do I show rents per year in square feet? =

On a property set the price period to "Year" and the area unit to "sq ft" (or choose sq ft as the default unit under Properties → Settings). The cards and particulars show the rent as "/year".

= Where do the forms send messages? =

Every form (contact, viewing request, instruction, requirement, bulletin) is stored under Messages in the dashboard and emailed. Viewing requests on a listing go to its agent; the others go to the address under Messages → Settings, or the site's admin email. A form block's "Email to" setting overrides it.

= How do I add the brochure button? =

Upload a PDF in the property's Brochure field. The key-terms panel then shows "Download brochure" as its main button.

= How do I use the featured video? =

In a post's or property's settings, open the Featured video panel and paste a YouTube or Vimeo link or choose a video file. Without one the featured image is shown.

= Can I turn off the animations? =

Visitors who ask their system for reduced motion see no animations and the hero video's poster instead of the film. To remove an animation, select the block and clear its Motion setting.

= How does dark mode work? =

The toggle in the header switches between the light and dark schemes and remembers the choice; without a choice the visitor's system setting decides. The Night office variation is dark itself and hides the toggle.
