Gatsby WP Themes Launches New Marketplace – WP Tavern – WP Tavern

Sarah Gooding
The Gatsby WP Themes project has launched a new marketplace for developers who are building WordPress-powered sites with Gatsby on the frontend. Originally founded by Zac Gordon and Alexandra Spalato, the commercial venture is now primarily managed by Spalato and Paulina Hetman.
The team’s first project involved porting the Twenty Twenty WordPress Theme to a Gatsby WP Theme. They are now focused on creating commercial themes targeted at developers and agencies who can use them to save time when building clients’ sites. Gatsby is more well-suited to sites that don’t have a lot of dynamic content, such as marketing or documentation sites.
Gatsby WP Themes is launching with several starter themes with different styles for each child theme. They include designs suitable for blogs, personal sites, businesses, restaurants, and portfolios.
Gatsby themes have several distinct advantages over just grabbing a starter or boilerplate Gatsby site from GitHub. Spaloto identified a few reasons why developers might opt for using a theme:
All themes in the new Gatsby WP Themes marketplace include built-in support for dynamic comments, search, Mailchimp integration, sitemaps, Google analytics or Google Tag Manager, and various widgets. The marketplace also includes Gatsby plugins that make popular WordPress plugins more compatible with Gatsby frontends. The current offerings add support for Contact Form 7, lightbox functionality, and Yoast SEO.
Spalato and Hetman are aiming at connecting with WordPress users who don’t code, those who don’t know React but want to use Gatsby, agencies, developers, and marketers. They have not promoted the marketplace much but already have more than 800 subscribers on Mailchimp. The team plans to release new themes and/or starters frequently as they continue building up their catalog of products.
We’ve also been promoting on our Twitter account @Gatsby_WP. Thank you for such a great writeup; these ladies are doing something truly amazing and inspire me as a woman over 45 years old.
Can you elaborate what the Gatsby Plugin WordPress Parser does?
From a first look it looks really promising, you aren’t just using the HTML content with dangerouslySetInnerHTML, or are you?
Hi Martin, You’re right 🙂 We use it for more than that. In particular to parse Contact Form 7 form fields into React components or to parse a WordPress gallery into a lightbox gallery, and more things to yet to come 🙂
You should all check them out. The speed of their website and demos is amazing.
