The signature moment ## Today is the headline The band leads with one word, Today, at display size, in the same row as the three dishes it introduces. The word takes a narrow first column and the dishes three equal columns beside it, all between two full-width rules, so on a laptop and a tablet the band reads left to right like the counter itself; on a phone it stacks, Today first. Each price sits on its own line under the dish name, so a narrow column never breaks it. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - Typeface. - Palette. - Buttons. ### Set by this pattern - Today. - Dish names and prices.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview A band for a café or bakery home page: between two rules, the word Today at display size with a line and one action, then three dishes, each a landscape photograph with its name, price and a note. It sits in the call-to-action section: the ask is the day's food, not a form. ### The signature moment: today is the headline The band leads with one word, Today, at display size, in the same row as the three dishes it introduces. The word takes a narrow first column and the dishes three equal columns beside it, all between two full-width rules, so on a laptop and a tablet the band reads left to right like the counter itself; on a phone it stacks, Today first.

Replace each photograph, name, price and note. - The word. Today can be This week, or a weekday. - The link. #menu. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - Typeface. The base states no font family. - Palette. Your base ground and contrast text; the two rules try role-rule and the label role-label, falling back to contrast. - Buttons. Your theme's button with a stated padding. ### What it decides for itself - Today. Off the ladder on purpose: clamp(3.5rem, 7vw, 6rem). - Dish names and prices. The large rung. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Crumb look Part of the Crumb Pattern Set, one café's whole site in one design language: oat ground #f4ecdf, espresso ink #2b1d16, muted cocoa #5c4a3f, milk cards #fbf7f0 on oat hairlines #dccfbf, terracotta #b3462d labels and peach #e8a27c on the espresso slab. Headings are Georgia at 400, body, labels and buttons Helvetica; buttons are espresso pills or underlined links, cards and photographs rounded at 14px. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip. ### Notes - Core blocks only: group, heading, paragraph, image, buttons, button. No plugin, nothing to keep updated. - The root group sets headings and links to currentColor, so every heading, paragraph and link inherits the group's text colour in any theme; only role-bearing text (labels, rules, plates) carries its own chain. ### Included images The copied markup includes WordPress Photo Directory example photographs. The public image URLs keep the examples visible after pasting. Select an image and choose Replace to use your own Media Library files. See image credits (https://patternpaste.com/image-credits/) for the sources and licenses. Pasting an image URL does not import a Media Library attachment.

(https://patternpaste.com/pattern/footer-composed-signoff.html)Hero Hero aperture An opening section on your theme's own paper: a tracked line, a display headline, one short paragraph on a reading measure, and then a picture that stops short of the edge on every side. The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)Pricing Donate impact tiers Four donation cards for a charity, each amount set at display size over what it pays for, one plain line of how, and a Donate button on the foot. The third card is inverted as the most given gift, and a note under the cards carries the charity number, Gift Aid and a link to give another amount. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/donate-impact-tiers.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. How we test patterns (https://patternpaste.com/how-we-test/) Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Video variations need your own clip.
