Drop your own images in and the layouts are built to hold them.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Fonts are bundled, not fetched.<\/strong> No requests to Google&#8217;s servers, which means faster first paint and one less GDPR question to answer.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Accessibility is checked, not claimed.<\/strong> Every text and background pair meets WCAG AA contrast in every style variation, with visible focus states and keyboard-operable navigation.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Around 1 MB each.<\/strong> No framework, no jQuery, no build step, no page builder.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need it set up properly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The themes are free and always will be.
