Building a Theme

You can start building a theme right now—no account required. A theme is a self-contained frontend package, so you download a starter, customize it on your own machine, and publish it to the marketplace when it's ready.

Download the Starter

Grab the starter template to get a complete, working theme you can run and edit immediately:

The starter includes every component the platform needs, already wired to the theme contract, plus the colors, typography, and styles you'll make your own.

Customize It

Unzip the starter and open it like any frontend project. Everything you need is already inside—there's nothing extra to install:

Prefer the CLI? devour theme create <name> scaffolds the same starter for you and namespaces its styles automatically.

Publish to the Marketplace

When your theme is ready, you can publish it to the marketplace—offer it for free, or set a price and earn payouts when others build on your work. You choose whether each theme is private to your own projects or public for everyone, and whether others may fork it as a starting point. Uploading checks your theme automatically and tells you if anything is missing before it goes live.

Publishing happens from the Themes page inside the dashboard (or with devour theme upload), which is rolling out now. Join the waitlist to get access and be notified the moment theme publishing opens.
