Shanti is a block theme for WordPress. It uses Full Site Editing so you can change templates, headers, footers, and global styles in the Site Editor without code.
It suits personal blogs and travel blogs as well as any writing-heavy site. You get readable typography, clear post layouts, and patterns for post lists, featured sections, and similar areas on pages or posts. Everything is block-based and follows WordPress core conventions, so standard blocks and patterns work the way you expect.
What you get
- Block-based templates and template parts (header, footer, single post, archives).
- Global styles for typography, spacing, and colors, editable in the Site Editor.
- Patterns for post lists and other common blog sections.
- Root padding and alignment handling so full-width and constrained content behave consistently.
