A client brief becomes a WordPress theme.
Change the hours. Swap the section. Change the color.
Download the zip. It installs on the WordPress site they already have.
Looking for 5 WordPress freelancers or small agencies to try VibePress for free.
Send me a short client brief, and I'll turn it into a real block theme (no page builder) and walk through it with you 1:1.
All I ask in return: honest feedback.
Reply or DM if you're in.
First thing I check: whether each unknown plugin is from https://t.co/GO5oliHHa6 or some random ZIP, and when it was installed (file dates on the server).
If something looks off, then the access logs. If it all looks normal, I just ask the client. Usually it's an innocent "I found this on Google."
@Rahulsinr Building VibePress: paste a short client brief, get a real WordPress block theme (core blocks, no page builder) plus a review link your client can open.
For freelancers and agencies who need a first draft fast. Building it in public for 100 days.
What are you working on?
@aronprins My bet: when agents do pick WordPress, block themes win. theme.json + block markup are plain files an agent can write and a client can still edit in the Site Editor. Classic PHP templates are hard to hand back.
The real blocker now: agents not knowing FSE, or hosting?
@faisalahammadwp Same split here. My line: if the client should change it without calling me, it's theme.json or a template part. Data that shows up in several places goes to ACF. PHP only when a block must compute at render.
Do you lock patterns for clients or leave them open?
@piotr_mallek I'd set it to the lowest version you actually test on.
If the plugin truly needs 7.0 APIs, keep 7.0 and resubmit once 7.0 is out. If not, go 6.9 and guard the 7.0-only parts with function_exists checks.
Is it a hard dependency, or mostly the theme pairing?
@aaPanel_TV Gutenberg by default on new client builds here. A block theme + theme.json lets me lock palette and type so clients can't drift off-brand.
Biggest gap for me: per-breakpoint layout control in core blocks.
What pushed you to start tinkering with Gutenberg?
@danielebesana Ha, fair. That came out like a pitch and skipped your actual question, sorry.
My honest answer: yes, I'd use it, but in a case study or sales call where you can explain it. On a homepage, a big number with no story behind it can read like a brag.
Here's the sample, Brad: https://t.co/VYKjhKu6MU
Brief: a small physio clinic, 9 lines, nothing else. Generated as-is, no hand edits.
Known gap: no 404 template yet (it falls back to index). Would love your honest take on the pattern markup and how it holds up in the Site Editor.
I build WordPress sites for clients. The slowest part was never the code. It was turning a messy client brief into a first design they'd actually say yes to.
So I built VibePress: paste the brief, get a real WordPress block theme plus a review link your client can open.
Today I fed it 5 real-world briefs: a physio clinic, a restaurant, a renovation company, a flower studio, and a Japanese bodywork clinic. Each one came out as a full first draft in minutes.
I'm looking for 10 freelancers or agencies who build client WordPress sites. Send me a client brief and I'll turn it into a demo for you, free.

Building a tool that turns a short client brief into a real WordPress block theme.
The rule I won't break: no invented reviews, prices, or facts. If the brief doesn't say it, the site doesn't claim it.
WordPress freelancers: what's the most annoying part of building a first draft for a client?
@scalewithsachin Sounds good, Sachin! Whenever the next brief comes up, just send it my way here or by DM and I will turn it around quickly. Good luck with the client work!
@realjoelhipkins The point about inherited sites — a solid CMS under bad templates, not always a rebuild — is exactly right. If you have a current WordPress brief, I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free.
@wnmagency Palaia Hotel in Datça looks like a lovely launch. If you have another WordPress brief, send it over and I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free.
@MarshaCreatives Nice work getting CommLink Co. live on WordPress for Juba. If you have another brief, I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free, so you can compare it with the Elementor build.
@720media@SpringsBusiness Nice work getting that furnished office listing live on WordPress — and an inquiry within 24 hours is the result that matters. Send a short brief and I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free.
@46digital Nice launch on The Artizen Pantry — a local WooCommerce store is exactly the kind of first draft I built for. Send a short brief and I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free.
@webguyeth Running 44 WordPress client sites from a chat window is a serious fleet. If you've got a new brief coming, send it over and I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free.
@das_souravv That heating and cooling site is a clean brief: call button first, every service a booking link, and fully editable by the owner. Send a short brief and I'll turn it into a real block theme plus a review link, free.
