Kálypto WordPress Theme
An SEO friendly and feather-light WordPress theme for designers who want total control.
What is Kálypto?
Kálypto is a barebones, feather-light WordPress theme crafted for designers, developers, and freelancers who want full control, without battling bloat. I built it out of necessity after realising that most “lightweight” themes still come loaded with hidden styles, unnecessary settings, and opinionated layouts.
This is a theme that gets out of your way. No scripts you didn’t ask for. No redundant features. Just clean HTML, fast performance, and total freedom to design exactly the way you want.
It’s built from scratch for Elementor and developers who care about precision, speed, and extensibility. If you’re looking for a minimalist foundation for custom WordPress builds, Kálypto delivers the essentials, nothing more, nothing less.
Get Kálypto. Build your way.
Ready to design without the fluff? Kálypto is free to use, easy to install, and made to perform. Whether you’re launching client projects or building your own site, it’s the ideal starting point for fast, clean, and scalable design.
Built for clarity, speed, and freedom
Kálypto strips away the noise and leaves only what matters.
Feather-light core
No layout frameworks, no customiser clutter, and no extra scripts. Just a lean theme built for speed, focus, and control.
Elementor-ready
Works perfectly with Elementor and Elementor Pro. No style conflicts, no overrides, just clean integration for full design freedom.
Clean, valid HTML5
Modern HTML5 templates with full WordPress support. Clean structure, easy to extend, and built with developers in mind.
No interference styling
Includes a minimal CSS reset with no default styles or clutter. You control every pixel, layout, and decision, Kálypto stays silent.
I built it because I was fed up with fake minimalism
Let’s be honest. Most “lightweight” themes aren’t. They still ship with bloated stylesheets, opinionated layouts, and piles of settings you’ll never use. Every project I started meant 30 minutes disabling stuff I didn’t ask for.
So I built Kálypto.
I wanted a truly clean slate. No framework. No clutter. Just a fast, SEO-friendly, developer-ready theme that actually respects my workflow.
If you want full control over how your site looks, loads, and behaves, Kálypto was made for you.
Under the hood: made for precision
Kálypto is intentionally minimal but built with developers in mind:
- Clean HTML5 template files (index.php, page.php, single.php, archive.php, 404.php)
- Fully Elementor-compatible with no style bleed
- Includes theme.json for layout and global style standardisation
- Basic CSS reset to remove default browser paddings, margins, and inconsistencies
- Empty sidebar.php and comments.php included for plugin compatibility
- No bundled styles, icons, scripts, or gimmicks
Built on the principle of zero interference. You get a theme that loads fast and stays out of the way.
