In 2014, our default theme lets you create a responsive magazine website with a sleek, modern design. Feature your favorite homepage content in either a grid or a slider. Use the three widget areas to customize your website, and change your content’s layout with a full-width page template and a contributor page to show off your authors.

Using a decade old default theme as an intentional aesthetic choice feels liberating. A straightforward setup reduces the overwhelm of endless customization, letting you jump straight into sharing your thoughts and ideas.

Also, very happy to be rid of a certain popular framework, which did little more than add bloat on top of a WYSIWYG CMS, that has a native block editor.

Over time, like a project car, I hope that this site will continue to evolve into something that I can put on a trailer and bring out for track days.
