An achingly simple child theme for Tersus.
Tersus is an exercise in publishing template minimalism.
By removing the majority of the presentational markup and other cruft from the Tersus parent theme, we’ve opened the door for child themes to pick up the aesthetic slack. There are currently three child themes being developed for Tersus.
Keep track of Tersus development on Twitter.
- HTML5 structure and compliance
- CSS that has been reset and built from the ground up
- Non-semantic, presentational markup has been dispatched
- Built-in theme options for navigation, sidebar, footer, and announcement text
- Two widget-enabled sidebar areas
- Responsive, adaptive layout for small screens
- Clean, valid, and awesome
- WordPress Theme Review Process compliance
- WordPress 5.0 or later
- Tersus parent theme
