This is a website theme and companion plugin set created for Catholic parishes. It provides a structured foundation for parish websites, aiming to solve common issues like inconsistent design and poor content organization. The project is built with a clear separation between the visual theme and core functionality, making it suitable for volunteers or administrators with limited technical experience.

• Parish-Specific Content Types: The companion plugin adds custom post types for announcements, services, newsletters, staff, and church groups. This structures content logically for a parish's needs.
• Clean Architecture: Functionality like contact forms, shortcodes, and parish details are handled by a separate plugin. This keeps the theme focused on presentation and allows content to remain intact if the visual design is changed later.
• Admin Onboarding: A dedicated setup guide page within the WordPress admin helps non-technical users configure their parish website, covering essential steps and plugin integration.
• Built-in Customization: The theme includes options in the WordPress Customizer to adjust accent colors, typography, hero sections, and footer text without editing code.
• Security and Standards: The code implements input sanitization, output escaping, and nonce verification for forms and meta boxes, following development best practices.
