Studio

Changes to the store, the design system and the tooling behind the catalog.

  1. Update

    • Templates now have names. Every template is identified by a name paired with its vertical, Bramley / Restaurant and Larkin / Café, instead of a numbered vertical slug. A name travels with the product for its whole life: it is the URL, the repository, the folder on your disk and the line on your receipt. It should describe the template rather than lock it to one use.
    • Names are checked against competitor and platform catalogues before they are used, and each one is recorded with the date it was cleared.
    • Renamed: restoran-01 is now Bramley, cafe-01 is now Larkin. The free template’s public repository moved to github.com/alderthemes/larkin. GitHub redirects the old address, but update your remote if you cloned it earlier.

  2. Update

    • Store presentation rebuilt. Product pages moved to a two-column layout: full-page renders on the left, a sticky panel with price, live demo and specifications on the right. Everything needed to decide now stays on screen while you scroll.
    • Device mockups removed. Screenshots are shown flat. The frames drew attention to themselves instead of the work, and keeping them correct at every size was ongoing maintenance for no gain.
    • Per-theme changelogs — this page. Every template now has its own history.
    • Automated screenshot pipeline: every published page is re-rendered at desktop, tablet and mobile widths on each release, so what the store shows is what the template actually produces.

  3. Release

    • Studio foundation. Core design system: themable token architecture (CSS custom properties bridged into Tailwind 4), base components and page sections.
    • Store site: catalog, product pages, category landings, FAQ and license pages.
    • Quality gates wired into CI — design token linting, content linting and a security audit run on every change.
