Your Design, Everywhere

We designed Carmack to look good on all devices — from desktop computers and laptops, to smartphones and tablets.

Post Formats

Carmack supports several Post Formats: image, video, gallery, audio, and quote. Each format has a unique style for the blog, archive, and search pages. This visually distinguishes your types of content, and helps you tell your stories in distinct ways.

Featured Content Slider

Carmack includes support for Featured Content, so you can showcase the most important work/photos/blog posts on your site. The most recent posts tagged as featured content will be displayed in a slider on the homepage and in a grid underneath the slider if there are more than five featured posts.

Theme Options

Carmack has a variety of options to tweak and adjust the theme so that it works exactly as you want. All options work using the Customizer, which means you can preview the changes as you make them, safe in the knowledge that your users won’t see a broken website.

Custom Headers and Backgrounds

Carmack lets you upload your own header and customize your blog with a background color.

Custom Colors

Carmack comes with a set of free color palettes. With a WordPress.com Premium or Business upgrade, you can change the colors on your Carmack-powered theme and customize your palettes even further. Below are some screenshots showing the flexibility of this system.

Widget Areas

Carmack offers several widget areas to allow you to keep things flexible, in the sidebar, footer, or slideout panel. All widget areas stay hidden unless you add widgets to them.

Custom Templates

Carmack includes four custom page templates for varying your content display: Contributors, Full-Width Page, Projects, and a Child Page Grid.

Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels):

At full width, the main column width is 880 except in the full-width layout, where it’s 1306.
The sidebar width is 304.
The featured post thumbnails (on the homepage) are 780 wide by 530 high.
The slider images are 1500 wide by 600 high.
The header image should be sized 1500 high by 400 wide. The height can be changed to suit your design.
All Featured Images are generated from the same initial image, so make sure to keep the focus of the image in the center as the surrounding content may be cropped.
