The Alpha

A fast, dependency-free single-page WordPress theme for a software developer & fragrance enthusiast. Dark-first "Tech Noir" design with a flicker-free dark/light toggle, scroll-spy navigation, and zero bloat — no Bootstrap, no Elementor, no jQuery.

Highlights

  • Single-page front page with anchored sections (Home / About / Blog / Contact) plus standard blog/archive/single routes.
  • Dark/light theme toggle, no-FOUC bootstrap, persistent visitor preference + admin-configurable default.
  • Custom block editor palette + font sizes that map to live CSS variables, so colors honor the active theme.
  • Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and JSON-LD (WebSite, BlogPosting, BreadcrumbList) baked in — self-defers when Yoast / Rank Math / SEO Press is active.
  • Customizer settings: default colour scheme, featured-image toggles for blog listings and single posts.
  • Disqus-friendly: works out-of-the-box with native WP comments; the official Disqus plugin overrides automatically when installed.
  • Smoke + bakhoor atmospherics on the About section, themed gradients painted onto section backgrounds.
  • Smooth page-load reveal with a custom spinner + shimmer label + cross-fade.

Tech

  • Vanilla PHP, CSS (custom-properties driven), and ~3 KB of vanilla JS.
  • Web fonts via a single Google Fonts request (Fraunces, Space Grotesk, Inter, JetBrains Mono, Rambla).
  • All assets cache-busted via filemtime.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0+
  • PHP 7.4+
