This site is my sandbox: I break things on purpose, fold in patterns from product work, and ship upgrades back into the starter my team uses on client builds.
It’s WordPress—not a headless rewrite—just enhanced where it feels right.
About
A Timber-powered playground where I stress-test ideas—progressive navigation, tidy Twig, and the same WordPress you already trust at work.
Starter template that ships with opinions
Twig + Timber for structure, modern JS where it earns its keep.
Progressive without the split stack
Same domain, same theme, smoother visits.
Swup-style navigation sits on top of normal WordPress responses. That means shareable URLs, SEO-friendly HTML, and a path to “SPA-ish” UX without running a second front-end repo.
Perfect for experiments you can actually show to stakeholders.
You can probably tell by now that I like foxes, please enjoy this random picture of a fox.
Field-driven sections, happy editors
ACF tabs and groups keep complex pages maintainable.
Content stays in WordPress where editors expect it. The theme maps groups to Twig templates—so “cool ideas” don’t turn into one-off PHP spaghetti.
When you outgrow a layout, you reshape the fields and the template, not a separate CMS.
Keep shipping small upgrades, loud impact
A living template beats a frozen demo.
I use this starter to try new interaction patterns, performance tweaks, and documentation before they touch billable work. If it’s boring to maintain, it doesn’t get merged.
That’s the sandbox deal: experiment, measure, then promote the best bits to the real builds.
