• Forms. A form builder with a content type of its own. Field, submit and embed blocks, a submissions table, file uploads and post-submission actions.
• SEO. Titles, descriptions, Open Graph and Twitter tags, sitemaps, robots rules and 16 schema types, all derived from your content when the page renders.
• Performance. 35 individually toggleable optimisations, on top of per-block asset loading that enqueues only the CSS and JavaScript a page actually uses.

• Events. An events content type with categories, 16 blocks including a calendar, and templates for the archive, the taxonomy and the single event.
• Blog. 24 post blocks covering titles, meta, sharing, table of contents, reading time, related posts and navigation.
• Demo import with rollback. 80 complete demo websites in 16 categories with 42 demo content types. Import site-wide or into an existing site, and roll any import back from one screen.
• WooCommerce. 22 store blocks covering the product page, the cart and the checkout, colour swatches, add to cart without a page reload, 18 store templates and 19 demo stores.
• Canvas AI. Generate or improve any text field and create images straight into the media library, using the business description, tone of voice and audience set in Theme Options. Access is limited by user role and metered in monthly credits.

• Licensing. Starter, Pro and Agency plans with the White Label add-on. Every plan ships every block, pattern and demo. An expired licence keeps the front end rendering and pauses updates, demo imports, AI and premium editing, with a 14-day grace period when a licence check cannot reach our servers.
• Requirements. WordPress 6.8 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
