TheMinimalist Theme is now Open Source – Free Download
It’s been a while since I started making this theme as a part of the YouTube video tutorials on how to get started from creating a layout in Adobe XD to convert the design into a customisable WordPress theme.
As you can imagine this took a lot of my time and effort to get it where it is today. There is a lot more that can be done and that’s why I want to make it open-source today. I encourage anyone to contribute to the development and feel free to copy, modify and use the theme. The only thing that I will ask for is not to use it for monetary gains.
