Websites at ASU.
Powered by WordPress.

The perfect starting point for WordPress projects at ASU.

Our theme for WordPress includes only the blocks supplied with the native WordPress package to allow for the basics of content management and layout. It maintains consistency with the Unity Design System by implementing safe limits on color choices, typography and spacing to end users.

Need additional UI components?

Download and install the Pitchfork Blocks plugin as well. The plugin adds blocks to the mix that wouldn’t normally be included with WordPress including the UDS Hero, accordions, cards and more.
