Made by a WordPress theme author

Hello

I build the tools I wanted as a theme author

I'm Mahesh Patel, a WordPress developer from India. For 16+ years I have designed and built WordPress themes and page templates, for my own small studio, for clients and for sale on ThemeForest.

Why PageCore

WordPress finally has what it needs

For most of those years, a professional-looking WordPress site meant a page builder, its own blocks and shortcodes, and a theme that only worked with that builder. Sites were heavy, and leaving the builder broke the pages.

The block editor changed that. Blocks, the Site Editor and global styles are now part of WordPress itself. What was still missing was a fast, safe way to start: a finished site you can import in minutes, built from the blocks that ship with WordPress, that shows you exactly what it will change before it changes anything.

That is PageCore. Everything it adds is ordinary block content. You edit it in the normal WordPress editor, and your pages stay in place even if you switch the plugin off.

How I work

Four rules PageCore follows

• Native blocks only

  No page builder, no custom blocks, no shortcodes. Your site stays plain WordPress, with nothing to lock you in.

• Quality first

  Every section is built on the theme's own colours, fonts and spacing, checked on the front end, and tested before release.

• Safe to try

  PageCore removes only what it imported, gives back what it changed, and cleans every SVG it brings in. It always asks before anything goes.

• No tracking

  The plugin has no analytics and no "phone home". Fonts and images are stored on your own site.
