TWENTY TWENTY-ONE THEME FACTS
This theme did not originate from scratch but originated from the not too well known Seedlet Theme. If we take a look at the rating of Twenty Twenty-One below, then we sense that there were also some people who gave 1 point out of 5. Despite the fact that Twenty Twenty-One is very well put together, it is a so-called minimalist theme that just doesn't do much with it. It serves as a flawless but simple basis for the block editor. The theme has maximum accessibility and meets the guidelines of WCAG 2.1 level AAA.
TWENTY TWENTY-ONE STRUCTURE
Twenty Twenty-One offers only 2 locations for menus, the main menu at the top and a footer menu. It offers a range of soft pastels as shown in the image below, in line with 2021 fashion, and it works with system fonts which provides performance benefits as no additional fonts need to be loaded.
TWENTY TWENTY-ONE FUNCTIONS
Twenty Twenty-One has the following theme features: Title tag, auto RSS, Thumbnails, Article formats, Custom background, custom logo, 2 navigation menus and 1 sidebar, HTML5 elements, and refresh for widgets. If you enter links to your social sites in the footer, the relevant icons will automatically be added.
Twenty Twenty-One has the following block features: Editor Styles, Wide Alignment, Standard Block Styles, Dark Editor Style, Block Color Palettes, Block Font and Sizes, Custom Line Height, Responsive Embeds, Block Color Gradient Presets, Start Content, Link Color, and Custom Spacing .
TWENTY TWENTY-ONE FONT-SIZES
Twenty Twenty-One requires the Gutenberg editor for support. The following font sizes are available in the editor for the Twenty Twenty-One theme: 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 40px, 96px, 144px.
TWENTY TWENTY-ONE THEME REVIEW: COLORS
In the "Colors & Dark Mode" section of the Customizer you will find a simple color picker with 10 standard color palettes. Dark Mode can be turned on or off, giving your visitors the option to switch to Dark Mode.
TWENTY TWENTY-ONE THEME REVIEW: DARK MODE
In the beginning there was talk that the Dark Mode option would become available as a separate plug-in, but at the last moment it was decided to integrate Dark Mode into the theme itself. The Dark Mode for Twenty Twenty-One was developed by Mel Choyce-Dwan. If you would like to use Dark Mode, check your site to see if logos and transparent images are still visible in this mode, because problems often occur there.
TWENTY TWENTY-ONE PAGEBUILDER
I am slowly going to tell you the truth about this theme and all other standard Wordpress themes. They all need the Gutenberg page builder which is just a very bad page builder, which is actually not ready to use yet, but Wordpress users are used as test persons, so to speak . If you want to work comfortably, it is best to install Elementor Free.
Now let's go one step further, because once you get started with Elementor, it makes a lot more sense to work with Elementor's free support theme: Hello Elementor. This just makes the standard Wordpress themes completely unnecessary. Another great option is to take Elementor with the supporting theme Astra Free, this greatly increases your options. Astra is one of the best themes out there.
Obviously if you are willing to spend some money you can Elementor Pro and Astra Pro should use. This will make your job a real pleasure because then you will be working with the best stuff there is.
