Air-light is a minimalist, dependency-free WordPress starter theme under 20 KB, based on Underscores. It follows the original WordPress way of building themes with PHP templates, Sass, and vanilla JavaScript, with built-in accessibility and Gutenberg/ACF support.

Use cases

  • start a new custom WordPress theme project
  • build a lightweight fast-loading WordPress site
  • create Gutenberg blocks with ACF in WordPress
  • develop an accessible WCAG-compliant WordPress theme
  • replace bloated WordPress starter themes
  • set up custom post types in a WordPress theme

When to choose

  • you want a minimal, fast WordPress base without heavy frameworks or templating languages
  • you value accessibility and tiny CSS/JS payloads
  • you work with Gutenberg and ACF regularly
  • you prefer vanilla WordPress PHP templating

When to avoid

  • you want a full-featured theme with page builders, widgets, comments, or sidebars out of the box
  • you prefer block-based full-site-editing-first themes
  • you need a headless WordPress setup with a JS frontend framework
