CAKE Friendly
A clean canvas for HTML-first page building without fighting the theme.
Simpleton Framework
A lightweight WordPress framework for people who still like clean HTML.
Simpleton is a clean parent theme built for CAKE, custom child themes, and fast WordPress sites that don’t need the clutter.
Framework First
Simple structure. Flexible foundation.
Child Theme Ready
The parent theme handles structure while child themes provide visual identity.
Lightweight by Design
No sliders, no bloated panels, no unnecessary dependencies. Just the essentials.
HTML First
Use real markup. Add simple classes. Build freely.
Simpleton provides reusable HTML primitives like panels, callouts, containers, accent bars, and layout helpers. CAKE provides the canvas. Child themes provide the personality.
