Editor's Theme

WordPress full-site editing theme small businesses with a bookish bent

Problem:

Create an easy to use site for a memoir editor. Although most of his business is by word-of-mouth, he wanted a website to reassure customers, as well as add to his business card. The website should include his portfolio, credentials and testimonials.

Approach:

I was excited to create a theme using the new full site editing capabilities of WordPress 6.2. I cloned 2022 and began from there, adding a custom post for services, editing theme.json's properties, and adding the templates I needed directly in the theme editor. I created a set of block patterns so he could easily add sections to his front page, and add featured services to any page.
I also created a custom static block using React and PHP, with a promo blurb for the bottom of his post and services pages. You can see the block's repo here:Custom Block RepoThe book portfolio page is still underway, as it will need a pattern with a custom dynamic block to display his books by category.
