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.
Gutenberg
Taproot has full support for the “Gutenberg” block editor, allowing you to create advanced page layouts right out of the box.
Pagebuilder Ready
Taproot also works with third party page builder plugins like Elementor or Beaver Builder.
Sidebar Layouts
Taproot has layout options for single posts, pages, custom post types, and archive pages. Add a left or right sidebar, or use a single column layout.
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.
Hero Image
Custom header images can be added to any posts or pages. The post title can also be set to show in the the header hero area instead of in the content area.
Templates
Theme templates can be easily overridden by copying into the child theme in a specific folder.
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.
