“Twentig is a plugin that essentially gives superpowers to the default theme.” — Justin Tadlock, WP Tavern

Customize the most popular WordPress theme. Your way.

Twentig offers powerful features to customize the Twenty Twenty-One and Twenty Twenty themes — making it easier than ever to create your own professional website.

Advanced theme customization. From post grid to sidebar to sticky header to footer layout, our plugin provides endless ways to enhance your WordPress theme. Change the look and feel of your website by customizing the fonts (Google Fonts), colors, global styles, 404 page, and more.

Custom page templates. Control the look of your entire page with our page templates. Easily remove the page title, header, footer, or set a transparent header. Now you can use Gutenberg blocks to create a custom hero, landing page, coming soon page, and more.

Tailored design. Twentig brings design improvements to the default WordPress theme. Our additional block settings and pre-designed block templates are specially built for it — so it’s simple to make beautiful pages with Gutenberg blocks.

Start with a pre-built website.

Instead of starting from scratch, you can quickly import one of Twentig’s starter websites crafted by award-winning designers.

The simple way to import starter websites. Choose from a variety of starter websites and seamlessly load them in a few seconds in the Customizer. Preview and customize your theme any way you like before publishing it to your live site.

Flexible import. Twentig lets you import full websites (Customizer settings, menus, widgets, and pages built with Gutenberg blocks). You can also only import what you need, be it the styling or the pages, on a fresh install or an existing website.

Check out the starter websites to see the power and flexibility of Twentig.

Twentig enhances the existing Gutenberg blocks — taking the WordPress block editor to a new level of design and creativity.

Block customization made easy. We’ve added the right amount of features to the Gutenberg core blocks. So you can easily customize your blocks to fit your needs with just a few clicks.

This is an invaluable Plugin and genuinely does help you create a great, It is a true timesaver: yes it did save me a ton of time and work in customising CSS and things like that. It has great organising layouts and the like. if it comes to support: The authors and supporter are just great: The support is wonderful and very helpful. If you don’t use Twentig I really do think you are missing a trick. Very highly recommended! Tangermaroc

Excellent plugin that helps you to create a beautiful site using the standard WordPress theme. The site also runs super fast!

Saved me a ton of work in customising CSS, organising layouts and the like. Everything that I wanted to be able to change about Twenty Twenty I was able to easily adjust with Twentig. When I came up against a small problem - caused by the Smush plugin - the Twentig creator responded really quickly and offered two fixes, both of which worked. Highly recommend their work!

Choosing the right theme is confusing for a small service business owner, especially if you’re a non-techie. With Twentig, the default WordPress theme becomes the right theme for you. It’s easy to use, so even non-techies can build their own website that looks professional and unique. You also get the peace of mind that you’re using the default WordPress theme. PS: I've been building websites for over 25 years, and I think this plugin is outstanding.

I use Twentig on a couple of Twenty Twenty/Twenty One-based sites. This is an invaluable Plugin and genuinely does help you create a great, clean, well laid out website design. The ability to strip Google Fonts is an added bonus for site speed. The support is wonderful and very helpful. If you don't use Twentig I really do think you are missing a trick. Very highly recommended! Andrew
