Tailored with a type scale
a block theme from a web studio
Corporate sites, business sites, anything you build — freely, and with a little joy.
We tailor it. You decide how to wear it.
Most themes settle font sizes and spacing for you in fine detail, so matching your own taste means piling up CSS overrides. shitate works the other way around: pick the type scale closest to the site you have in mind, and the type, the spacing and the rest of the groundwork fall into place together. That leaves you free to concentrate on the content and the design itself.
What shitate gives you
A simple structure that both builders and their clients can handle, with room to customise where it matters. Because the foundation stays simple, updates stay minimal and the site stays comfortable to run for years.
Eight type scales
to choose from
Eight scales named after musical intervals, from a minor second up to the golden ratio. Restrained steps or bold jumps: pick the one that matches the character of your site.
A simple structure
made for builders
Every setting lives in CSS variables. Once you have picked a scale you can still fine-tune or switch it by overriding a variable, instead of working around the theme.
Minimal updates,
endless possibilities
A design with no surplus features means you are not chasing frequent updates. Build it once, then run it quietly for a long time.
For people with
and without know-how
For studios and freelancers at work, and for the client running the site after handover. It is built to sit comfortably in both pairs of hands.
Everything we do, at a glance
Group what you offer and let a plain icon grid carry the overview.
Design
The work that decides how a site looks and reads before a single line is built.
Build
Turning the design into something maintainable, fast and standards-based.
Name things after what they are, not after how they happen to look today. Labels that describe the role survive a redesign; labels that describe the decoration do not.
Support
What keeps a site healthy after launch, in your hands or in theirs.
See it in action
These pages are built with the type scale and the theme styles alone, without a single line of extra CSS. Everything uses standard editor features, so you can rebuild them yourself.
Minimal
Decoration kept to a minimum and a gentle jump ratio, in the spirit of a plain writing app.
Corporate
A standard company site that balances a sense of trust with easy reading.
Rich
A landing-page feel built from large elements, each one given room to breathe.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, ask away on the support forum.
Do I need to write CSS to change the design?
No. Colors, type sizes and spacing are all set from the Site Editor and the Customizer. The type scale drives the whole ladder, so changing one ratio restyles the site consistently.
Can I change the type scale after the site is live?
Yes. Pick another ratio at any time and every heading, body size and spacing step follows it, so the design keeps its proportions.
Does the theme depend on any plugin?
No. shitate uses standard WordPress features only, so your content stays yours if you ever switch themes.
