Start Your Projects Off Right
The Perfect Starting Point for Your Projects
Getting started on a new project can be a challenge. There’s a lot of base-level things you need to do to get the wheels turning for a new website. There’s the header and footer, base styling, templates to create and more. The Crosswinds Framework gives you all of those things right out of the box. You don’t need to worry about adding any of those things. You can jump right in to build amazing websites!
A Blank Canvas to Create Any Website
The base Crosswinds Framework gives you a blank canvas to create any website you need for your clients. There are base patterns you can use on any page, fonts to choose from, a color palette that you can customize and added styling for better responsiveness. But the theme also gets out of your way to allow you to create anything you want.
Use the Fonts, Patterns and Templates Included to Start Right Now
On its own, the Crosswinds Framework comes with a set of fonts, a selection of patterns and a number of templates to help get you started right now. You don’t have to worry about adding or building any of those basic things. Instead, you can get right to work creating an amazing website.
Create Your Own Child Themes From the Crosswinds Framework
Or you can also create your own base child theme to start all of your custom website builds. You can add in your own patterns, use your own theme.json file that has your preferred styling and anything else you need to start your projects on the right foot.





Build Your Websites Quicker
Customize Every Part of Your Website
With the new WordPress editor and the Crosswinds Framework, the sky is truly the limit for what you can do. You’re no longer locked into a specific design with specific colors and fonts from your theme. You can customize it all right from the dashboard. How about that?
Create Your Websites in Days, Not Months
With the WordPress site editor and the Crosswinds Framework, you don’t need to worry about writing code for 90 percent of a project. Instead, you can quickly and easily create the website right in the editor. From the header and footer to all of the templates to building a homepage, landing pages and more, you can create it all visually right in the dashboard.
Niche Child Themes to Build Your Websites Quicker
Want to quickly build websites for your clients? The selection of niche child themes can help you get a quick leg up. Just find a design that works for what your client wants and add it to the website. Now you’re over halfway through the project with just a couple of clicks. All you have to do is make those minor tweaks for the client and you’re ready to launch!
Extensive Patterns Library
Block patterns are now a staple in how you create pages with the WordPress block editor. These patterns, which can range from something as simple as a single blog post to as complex as a pricing table, portfolio section, services section and more, make creating great pages quick and easy. And the Crosswinds Framework comes with many, many different patterns to help you design and build amazing websites.
Grid Block for Great Designs
You can create amazing grid sections on pages by using the grid block. In addition to controlling how many columns are being used at a certain screen size, you can also control how many columns and rows a grid item covers as well. This gives you complete control over how those sections look, allowing you to create complex designs that look amazing.
More Responsive Design Controls
One problem that still persists with site editing in WordPress is responsive controls. While spacing and font sizes can shrink as the screen size gets smaller, other things like columns in a grid query loop block don’t give you great control for responsive design. The plugin covers these gaps so you can make sure your websites look great no matter what device they’re viewed on.
More Flex Box Options
Finally you’ll have more flex box options, especially when using group and column blocks. In addition to controlling whether a block uses flex box, you can make it stretch the entire height of the parent block and align the content inside of the block in different ways. It’s just another level of control you have on the look of the websites you build.
Design Tool Kit
Better Design Tools for the Editor
The look of your website matters a lot in today’s world. You want your website to stand out from the crowded online world. The Crosswinds Framework helps you make that happen. From simple element patterns to larger patterns, like services, testimonials, team members and more to even entire pages created from a single pattern, you can create a dazzling design without the need for any code.

Crosswinds Blocks
Add More Functionality with Crosswinds Blocks
The other half of the Crosswinds Framework is the Crosswinds Block companion plugin. This free plugin adds in extra functionality, such as additional blocks, various custom post types and even more design tools. And the best part is that it can also work with other themes!

Block Library
The Crosswinds Blocks plugin adds a number of blocks that you can use throughout your site. From post navigation and related posts to a grid block that can help you create amazing designs to social sharing and even tabs and accordions, the plugin gives you the tools to really add cool functionality to your website.
Upgrade Your Design Tools
While the WordPress site editor and core blocks continue to improve, they are still missing better design tools, particularly with responsive design. The plugin covers these gaps, allowing you to define columns on tablet and mobile screen sizes and using flex box on any group or column block.
Seamless Integration
While the Crosswinds Blocks plugin is built for the Crosswinds Framework, the plugin and its styles are theme agnostic. That means it can work with any theme you use on your website. It’s a versatile plugin that can work on any website!
Designed for Page Speed
Your website needs to load quickly at all times. The quicker the page loads the more likely you’re going to get more conversions. The Crosswinds Framework helps you accomplish this goal with minimal resources and taking advantage of caching. You won’t have to worry your theme slowing down your website.
Minimal Resources for Quicker Page Load
One of the biggest ways the Crosswinds Framework helps your website load quickly is that it doesn’t need to load a lot of resources in the first place. Everything under the hood — from CSS to JavaScript to images — is minimized as much as possible so your users don’t need to wait for a lot of things to see your pages.
Give Your Website a Good SEO Code Foundation
Search Engine Optimization is also key for your website’s performance. You need your website to show up in search results so that people can find you. The Crosswinds Framework makes sure that the code side of your website is as SEO-ready as possible.
Performance
A Theme That Helps Your Website’s Performance
Performance is everything in today’s online world. You need your pages to load quickly to keep the attention of people. You also need your website to perform well with SEO and Google so that people can find your website and your business. The Crosswinds Framework helps give you an advantage in both areas.
