Feature stagger strip, Pattern Paste

Identical markup in every theme. Manrope typeface rgb(255, 255, 255) ground 1280px viewport

Three vertical feature columns arranged in a staggered descending rhythm with top margin offsets and hairline-bordered cards.

The signature moment

Staggered descending cadence

Instead of standard horizontal card alignment, each of the three columns is progressively offset vertically (0, var:preset|spacing|50, and var:preset|spacing|70). This staggered step effect guides the reader's eye naturally from left to right through progressive pipeline phases, breaking the monotony of standard 3-box grids.

What it inherits from your theme

Typeface. Inherits all theme font styles for headings, stage labels, and body paragraphs.
Palette. Section ground uses base (falling back to white), copy uses contrast (falling back to black). Cards use role-plate and role-plate-text.
Rules. Card perimeter hairlines use role-rule falling back to contrast.
Spacing. Card offsets and gutters draw directly from core spacing presets.

What it decides for itself

Proportion. Three equal columns (33.33%) with progressive top margin steps creating the cascade.
Typography hierarchy. Section heading on xx-large, card headings on large, body copy on medium ladder rungs.

What you change first

Stage tags & titles. Update the three progressive stages (Stage 01 / Authoring to Stage 03 / Distribution) to reflect your pipeline or product lifecycle.
Media slots. Add 4:3 screenshot or illustration assets to each card's image block.

The markup

Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.

The name WordPress shows; the zip and its folder take it.

Reading a file is the theme tool's job, and the theme you make there is the one this site wears.

Choose a starting point

Try one of our audited systems, start blank, or generate one. Your theme keeps the name above; choosing a look does not add it to your saved collection until you change something.

Colours

8 named colours. These are the only colour values the system states.

Each result is that colour's verdict across every place it is used. Open one for the measured pairs and fixes.

base The page. Every section sits on this unless it states otherwise.

contrast Body text, and the ink every hairline and rule inherits.

accent-1 The primary action: buttons, links, the one thing to click.

accent-2 A second band colour, for a section that has to change key.

accent-3 A third band colour. Quiet enough to sit under text.

accent-4 A mid neutral: borders, muted labels, disabled states.

accent-5 A tinted paper: cards and panels lifted off the base.

accent-6 An ink surface: the dark band, with base as its text.

Type

Choose the faces first, then tune the scale and style. Each part opens on its own so the control you need stays beside the type specimen rather than inside one long form.

One click sets a pairing chosen for a purpose.

ScaleBase, ratio and five named sizes

Set the base to preserve the current proportions, use a ratio to regenerate them, or tune one step. Body copy, buttons and hierarchy headings in every pattern sit on these rungs; a stat or a display headline keeps its own size on purpose.

An empty field states nothing, so the face or WordPress default remains in charge.

Spacing

One base step. The rest of the scale derives from it at the ratios the presets ship with, so a pattern's --wp--preset--spacing--60 stays a large gap whatever you set here.

FinishCorners and borders

Corners on buttons and on images, and a hairline round either. A radius is a fixed step; a border colour is one of your roles, so it is measured on every band like any other role.

Sections

The palette derives these reusable bands. Each ships as a section style and appears as a knob on every pattern.

Open one to rename it, change its band, ink or button, check its contrast, or restore the version built from the palette. A section you removed, or one the palette rejected, can be added back below: a reject is re-pointed at a role that passes, never given a colour of its own.

measuring

Every colour pair this design system produces, measured against the value that actually resolves. Unknown never renders as a pass.
