A small studio that
builds every theme it sells
Why this exists
Before ScintillaWPThemes was a store, it was a service business. We built WordPress sites for clients — a manufacturer here, a clinic there, a travel operator who needed itineraries that made sense. Different industries, same work underneath: a hero, a services grid, a case study template, a contact page that actually converts.
After the fifth or sixth build we noticed we were rewriting the same components with slightly different padding. So we stopped. We took the layouts we had built by hand, made them properly configurable, and started selling them.
That origin still shapes the catalogue. We do not build one theme that claims to suit every business, because the sites we were paid to build were never generic. We build a manufacturing theme that knows what a spec table is, and a clinic theme that knows appointments are the only thing on the page that matters.
It also shapes support. When you open a ticket, it reaches the person who wrote the code you are asking about. That is only possible because we are small, and staying small is a deliberate choice rather than a
stage we are trying to grow out of.
Rules we do not
break for a feature
Your content is never held hostage
No proprietary shortcodes, no content locked inside a builder's database table. Deactivate one of our themes and your pages are still readable, still editable, still yours.
Nothing advertises inside your admin
No upgrade banners, no review nags, no notification dots that turn out to be a sales pitch. You paid once; the dashboard belongs to you.
Speed is decided before the first line of CSS
We ship fewer scripts, load what a page actually needs, and test on shared hosting with no caching — because that is where most of these sites will really live.
The demo is the product
What you click through on the demo site is what installs on yours. No hero image that only exists in the screenshot.
What we are not
We are not a marketplace. Every theme here was designed and coded in-house. Nothing is licensed from a third party and re-badged, which is why the catalogue grows slowly and why the code looks the same from one theme to the next.
We are not a page builder company. Our themes work with the block editor first. If your team already lives in Elementor, they will run fine there too — but we will not pretend a builder is required when it is not.
We are not the cheapest. There are free themes that will get a site online tonight. What you pay for here is the part that shows up in month six: updates that do not break your customisations, documentation that answers the question, and a reply from someone who can read a stack trace.
We are not going to oversell the catalogue. If you describe your project and none of our themes fit it well, we will tell you that before you pay rather than after.
A slow, deliberate catalogue
The first theme, sold by accident
A client build was reused for a second client with permission. That second setup took two days instead of three weeks.
Demo importing became one click
Watching customers spend an afternoon recreating a demo by hand was the push to build the importer.
Rebuilt for the block editor
Rather than bolt full site editing on, we rewrote the catalogue around theme.json and patterns.
One bundle instead of a subscription
Charging a renewal every year for work already delivered felt wrong, so the whole catalogue became a single one-time purchase.
Find the theme your project needs
Every theme has a live demo you can click through before you pay. Not sure which fits? Ask us first — we will tell you straight.
