Crater WordPress Theme

Who Crater is for

Crater is the most feature-complete free theme in the family at 16 free items, including header search, typography settings, two header menu styles and footer social icons. That makes it a practical pick for a content-led business site: the design controls people normally pay for are already present.

• Business sites and blogs where typography and search matter from day one
• Sites that need two distinct header treatments for different sections
• Owners who want font and colour control without buying a licence

What you can build with Crater

Free covers a lot: contact form, sidebar options, footer widget columns, sticky header, header search, 800+ Google Fonts, typography settings, two header menu styles, preloader, footer social icons, Elementor support and one-click demo import. Between them you can build a fairly refined site without touching code.

• Favicon, Logo, Title and Customization
• Customizer Theme Options
• Contact Form

What the free version includes

All of these are free from WordPress.org, including the typography and search features that are usually Pro items elsewhere.

• Favicon, Logo, Title and Customization
• Customizer Theme Options

How to install Crater

1. Install Crater from Appearance, Themes, Add New.

3. Set typography and colours in the customizer; with 800+ fonts available, limit yourself to two families.
4. Choose one of the two header menu styles and enable header search if the site has enough pages to need it.
5. Add footer social icons and test the contact form before launch.
