A fast, readable block theme for writers and publishers, with layout-stable reserved areas and light and dark style variations.

== Description ==

Warqa is a block theme built for long-form reading. Article text sits at a comfortable measure of roughly seventy characters a line, headings follow a clear hierarchy in a serif face, and the sidebar and reserved placement areas hold their space while the page loads so nothing shifts under the reader.

The theme ships more than forty patterns, including full page layouts for a magazine front page, a blog index, an about page, a contact page, a media kit and long form legal documents. Section patterns cover newspaper style front pages, card grids, ranked lists, quotation bands, contributor lists, numbered processes and more, so a complete site can be assembled without writing markup.

Two fonts are bundled with the theme and served from your own server, so no request leaves your site to load them. Light and dark style variations are included, and every colour, size and spacing value is a preset you can change once in the editor.

Warqa contains no analytics, no tracking, no advertising code and no third-party scripts. The reserved placement areas are empty layout containers with a fixed minimum height; you fill them with your own block or a block from a plugin of your choosing, and the space is held open before anything loads.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the theme include advertising or analytics code? =

No. Warqa includes reserved layout areas with a fixed minimum height so that pages do not shift while they load, but the theme itself contains no advertising, analytics or tracking code of any kind. Add your own content block, or a block from an advertising plugin.

= Does the theme load anything from a remote server? =

No. Both fonts are bundled with the theme and served from your own site. There are no CDN requests, no remote stylesheets and no external scripts.

= How do I switch between the light and dark palettes? =

Open Appearance, then Editor, then Styles, and choose the Dark variation. You can also edit the six palette colours directly and every pattern will follow.

= How do I build a page from the included patterns? =

Create a new page, then choose a pattern from the modal that appears, or open the inserter and look under Warqa sections. Full page patterns are available for the home page, blog index, about, contact, media kit and legal documents.

= Which template should I use for a landing page? =

Choose "Page, no title (landing)" so the page title is not repeated above your own headline, or "Page, wide (no sidebar)" if you want the title shown.
