Our take
Ollie is one of the nicest block themes available for free: well-designed patterns, full-page layouts and a tidy design system that make the Site Editor feel like a real website builder. It is a great alternative to a page builder for business and personal sites. Its user base is still small compared with older themes.

- No page builder needed
- Fast and lightweight

Watch out

About this theme
Ollie is a block theme that makes the most of the WordPress Site Editor. It ships with more than fifty patterns, from hero sections and feature grids to pricing tables and testimonials, plus several complete page layouts, all controlled by a single design system in Global Styles.
Building a site with Ollie
Choose a style, insert full-page patterns for your homepage and inner pages, and change colors and fonts once to update the whole site. Because everything is native blocks, there is no page builder to slow things down.
