Spark is a work in progress and will serve as a future toolset for getting started with the Jump Start WordPress Theme.
Note: Because preset layouts and templates with Jump Start largely depend on our layout builder, development on Spark has been halted until after the release of WordPress 5.0 and the new content editor (a.k.a. Gutenberg).
So what is Spark, exactly?
Often, you just can’t have a jump-start without a spark. — Jump Start is a very powerful WordPress theme with a lot of possibilities. However, a big problem we’re trying to solve is the struggle to get started with all of these features.
With Spark, our goal is to provide more demo content, sample styles, preset layouts and individual sections, and better administrator features to quickly apply these starting points. However, by confining these things to to the Spark plugin, we can avoid a lot of extra bloat in the theme and provide customers a way to quickly enable or disable all of these extra features.
Current Features
Spark is a currently a work in progress, and we’ve only just begun. Here’s what we’ve got so far.
- 6 full-page sample layouts.
- 7 individual section sample layouts that can be merged into current layouts.
- Much more to come…
