## Variations (2)

### Use my theme (the default)

Identical markup in every theme.

Your theme paints the title band, the type and the action. The photograph stays clear above and below the band at every width.

### Oat and persimmon

This variation states its own colours and states its own type: identical in every theme.

Oat ground, brown-black ink and a persimmon button, with Georgia display type over Arial body copy. The button is square and deliberately filled.

## The signature moment: a broad title band cuts across a photograph that continues above and below it

The buyer gets a hospitality opening with a short oversized title, one line of support and one booking action. Sundrift is a fictional coastal-stay brand; the photograph sets a mood without naming a destination.

One native Cover holds the whole photograph. An 18rem-to-26rem spacer protects its top region, an opaque full-width group makes the title band, and a fixed 8rem spacer reveals the continuing shore below. The band uses the theme wide width for its two columns. Those columns stack below the native WordPress breakpoint, while both photographic regions remain visible.

## What it inherits, what it decides

The Core version inherits the theme's colours and faces. Opaque plates use base and contrast fallback chains; the photograph has no veil and no text sits directly on it. The root and plates let headings and links follow their painter. Ordinary Core buttons inherit the theme's fill and radius, with explicit padding for a usable target.

The headline is display type, sized outside the theme ladder so the broad short title makes the band. The brand label stays at 14px; support copy uses the medium type ladder.

Body copy meets 4.5:1 contrast and large display type 3:1 on its painted plate. The Cover uses rem dimensions, editable native groups and spacers, and no CSS or script.

## Styled look

**Oat and persimmon**: Oat ground, brown-black ink and a persimmon button, with Georgia display type over Arial body copy. The button is square and deliberately filled. Its matching inherited Core version remains available as Use my theme.

## What a buyer changes first

Replace the brand name, short heading, supporting line and action. Then replace the Cover photograph and adjust its focal point. Keep the copy compact so the photograph retains its breathing space.

## Included images

The copied markup includes a WordPress Photo Directory example photograph. The public URL keeps it visible after pasting. Select the Cover and choose **Replace** to use a Media Library image. See [image credits](/image-credits/) for the source and license. Pasting a URL does not create a Media Library attachment.
