Team small business, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/team-small-business.html Core Patterns (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Team (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/team/) Catalogue access Standard # Team small business The people of a small local business as four equal tiles: the first tile is the introduction, the other three a portrait, a first name, a role and one plain line each. It reads like being introduced at the counter rather than a studio roster. Example images are included and can be replaced in the editor. States no colour and no font of its own. ## All patterns Search patterns Loading patterns… Start here ## What to change first The names, roles, lines and portraits, the firm's name and the year in the label. The signature moment ## The introduction takes a seat in the row The heading is not above the people, it is the first of four equal tiles, so the firm introduces itself at the same size as the people in it. Only first names, and one plain line each ("Qualified in 2011, still on the tools most days"), so it reads as friendly rather than a studio roster. The mark survives colourlessness because it is made of position and rhythm: the introduction shares the grid, and each person closes on the same short currentColor hairline over their line. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - The ground is base and every line of type is contrast, each a two-rung chain. Text is at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes. - The hairlines are currentColor, so they follow your text. - The label and the roles start on role-label, falling through to contrast. - The heading is on the x-large rung, the first names on large, the lines on medium. The typeface is your theme's. ### Set by this pattern - A grid with a 15rem minimum column: four tiles across at 1280 and above, two by two at 820 (the introduction beside the first person), one column on a phone. - Portraits are cropped 4:5 so faces line up across the row. Example portraits are included and are meant to be replaced in the editor. Full pattern notes ## Why it works, and how it is built Open a topic for the complete design reasoning, editing guidance and implementation notes. Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview The people of a small local business, a heating firm, a bakery or a family garage, introduced the way you would be at the counter. Four equal tiles: the first is the introduction (a label, a heading and one line about the firm), the other three are a person each, a 4:5 portrait, a first name, a role and one plain sentence under a hairline. ### The signature moment: the introduction takes a seat in the row The heading is not above the people, it is the first of four equal tiles, so the firm introduces itself at the same size as the people in it. Only first names, and one plain line each ("Qualified in 2011, still on the tools most days"), so it reads as friendly rather than a studio roster. The mark survives colourlessness because it is made of position and rhythm: the introduction shares the grid, and each person closes on the same short currentColor hairline over their line. Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first ### What to change first The names, roles, lines and portraits, the firm's name and the year in the label. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - The ground is base and every line of type is contrast, each a two-rung chain. Text is at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes. - The hairlines are currentColor, so they follow your text. - The label and the roles start on role-label, falling through to contrast. - The heading is on the x-large rung, the first names on large, the lines on medium. The typeface is your theme's. ### What it decides for itself - A grid with a 15rem minimum column: four tiles across at 1280 and above, two by two at 820 (the introduction beside the first person), one column on a phone. - Portraits are cropped 4:5 so faces line up across the row. Example portraits are included and are meant to be replaced in the editor. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Styled look primrose-and-cocoa states a primrose ground #fbf1d6, dark brown ink #2b1d14 and cocoa #6b3f22 for the label, the roles and the hairlines (over 8:1 on the ground). The heading is Georgia and the first names Georgia italic, over a Gill Sans body at weight 400, and the portraits have soft 18px corners. It is for a family firm that wants to look like people, not a company. Questions ## Team small business: common questions Does Team small business need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install. Will Team small business match my theme? Choose by variation. Three and a hello takes your theme’s palette; Primrose and cocoa brings its own colours. How many variations does Team small business have? 2: Three and a hello and Primrose and cocoa. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy. Can I use my own images? Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Is Team small business free? It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 56 Core Patterns are free to copy without one. 12KB of core-block markup, 4 blocks (group, heading, image, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

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)Editorial Article footer The close of an article: a portrait of the author beside their name, the biography under both inside a currentColor slip held to the middle half of the measure, and the previous and the next post hanging off the two outer edges so the section reads as a doorway rather than a footer. The name, the biography and the two neighbours are dynamic core blocks, so they are the post's own and the preview here is sample data; the portrait is an ordinary image block you swap for your author's own. The previous and next links only resolve on a single post template, which is where this pattern belongs. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/article-footer.html)Contact Contact cover ledger A full-bleed contact cover: a display heading in the top left, and a ruled ledger of address, hours, phone and email in the far lower-right corner, label left and value right between hairline rules, with the photograph running between them. A heavy veil of your theme's contrast colour keeps every line legible whatever photograph you choose. The ledger drops under the heading on a phone. Includes a replaceable example photograph. States no colour and no font of its own. Ships with a short hand-off row on your theme's paper below it. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/contact-cover-ledger.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.
