Preview what Gutenberg blocks (fully AMP compatible!) look like with Chap theme:
A website is not just a pretty picture. It has many components – buttons, headers, segments, forms, inputs, menus, messages, tables, cards, accordions and so on. With Chap all of these components can be individually themed to meet the style requirements of your current project.
Chap uses Semantic UI CSS framework to deliver beautiful, modern and professional user interface. Not only is the theme responsive and retina ready, but every component is also fully customizable. You can swap between different themes for buttons, menus, forms, headers and more with a simple theme option change. There is even an option to control the base size of every UI element at once, so your website size is no longer a constant.
