How it behaves
It still works when things are switched off
Three statement rows move in alternating directions; pointer position steers them, the centre holds them, clicking a row pauses it and a pause button stops them. The footer stays still.
- Motion off or reduced motion
- It shows its final state at once; anything a visitor can press or drag still works.
- JavaScript off
- All content stays visible and readable; controls the script adds are hidden.
- Plugin missing or older
- It pastes as plain WordPress blocks, in reading order, without the designed layout.
Questions
Signoff: common questions
What is Signoff for?
The site footer of a studio or brand, where three moving statements give the last screen character above plain contact and navigation. Typical uses: design studio footer, agency site footer and portfolio closing section.
Does Signoff need a plugin?
Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; Signoff arrived in plugin 0.28.2. Without the plugin, or on an older version, it pastes as plain WordPress blocks: the content reads in order, without the designed layout.
What can I edit in Signoff?
As pasted it has 11 headings and 14 text lines, 13 of them optional and removable. The items are a repeatable set: the item controls add one or remove the last. The layout stays protected while you edit. Unlock layout, in the section’s settings, lets you insert, move and remove any block.
Will Signoff match my theme?
Choose Designed to keep its own palette and type, or Use my theme to let it follow your theme’s colours and fonts. Either works in any block theme on WordPress 7.0 or later. Choose Use my theme in the preview above to see it follow a theme before you copy.
Can the motion be switched off?
Yes. Turn off Animate changes in the section settings, and visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same: the section shows its final state at once and anything they can press or drag still works. With JavaScript off, all content stays visible.
