Three demos. One theme.

Each demo is a distinct business with real content — built to show you what Keel looks like in your context, not a generic placeholder.

Design Worlds

Arrive with a brand.
Or find one here.

Six complete palettes — backgrounds, surfaces, text hierarchy, and accent — all built on CSS design tokens. One Customizer setting changes everything at once. The page you're reading right now is live on Keel's color system.

Under the hood

Everything a professional site needs.
Nothing that slows it down.

Native WordPress block editor, server-rendered PHP, bundled fonts. Fast by default — and yours to extend.

Adaptive Color System
Six palettes built from CSS design tokens. Switch worlds in the Customizer, or override the accent hue to match your exact brand. No code required.
12 Custom Gutenberg Blocks
Hero, Services, Pricing, Numbers, Logos, Voices, Team, Questions, Story, Process. Server-rendered PHP — no JavaScript framework on the frontend.
One-Click Demo Import
Appearance → Keel → Import Demo. Pages, posts, navigation, and Customizer defaults created in seconds. Safe to run more than once.
Signature Motion
Clip-path heading reveals, scroll-driven fade-ups, and View Transitions API for smooth page navigation. Three intensity levels: None, Subtle, Expressive. Respects prefers-reduced-motion.
Fonts Bundled. No Roundtrips.
Syne, Instrument Sans, Fraunces, DM Serif, and JetBrains Mono ship with the theme. No Google Fonts requests — better privacy, faster load, no cookie banner needed.
Spam-Free Contact, Out of the Box
Contact Form 7 with Cloudflare Turnstile integration built in. Invisible bot detection — no CAPTCHA puzzles, no friction for real visitors.
Block Suite

Every block your site needs.

Native Gutenberg — no Elementor, no WPBakery, no vendor lock-in. Your content stays yours, always.
