Lightweight & Fast
Taproot is built with modern PHP, Javascript, and CSS. No extra libraries like jQuery are used on the front end, keeping page load times minimal.
Responsive
Taproot is fully responsive and is built with a “mobile first” approach. Settings in the customizer for sizes and spacing have separate options for mobile, tablet and desktop screens.
Customizable
Taproot can be easily customized at every step. Control site layout, colors, fonts and more in the WordPress Customizer. Custom theme templates can be added in your child theme.
Typography
Taproot uses system fonts by default, but also has full support for Google Fonts. Font sizes across the theme can be configured individually for each screen size.
Colors
Taproot’s color palette lets you define the colors used across your site. Customizer color pickers include an alpha channel for using colors with transparency.
Navigation
Taproot includes multiple navigation areas for adding your custom menus. These can be configured and styled in the customizer, for both mobile and desktop views.
Templates
Theme templates can be easily overridden by copying into the child theme in a specific folder. There are templates for many individual components, allowing you to customize only the parts needed.
Hooks & Filters
Taproot includes hooks and filters that can be used to extend or customize the theme content and functionality at every step.
Customizer Defaults
The default customizer settings can be easily modified to match child theme styles.
