Sage is a hybrid WordPress starter theme that brings Laravel Blade templating, Tailwind CSS, and a Vite-based front-end workflow to WordPress theme development. It integrates Laravel features into WordPress via Acorn and includes built-in block editor (Gutenberg) support.

Use cases

• create a custom WordPress theme with Blade templates
• use Tailwind CSS in a WordPress theme
• modern front-end build workflow with Vite for WordPress
• build reusable component-based WordPress themes
• use Laravel Blade components in WordPress
• theme.json generation from Tailwind config for block editor
• WordPress theme with hot module replacement during development

When to choose

• you want modern PHP templating (Blade) instead of classic WordPress PHP templates
• you prefer Tailwind CSS and Vite tooling in WordPress development
• you want a maintained, mature starter theme with block editor support
• you are comfortable with Composer and Node-based build steps

When to avoid

• you need a simple classic PHP WordPress theme without build tooling
• you don't want Node/npm dependencies or asset compilation steps
• you're building a non-WordPress site
• your team is unfamiliar with Laravel Blade conventions
