Corporate site
WordPress templates for organisations that sell trust, not orders
Some organisations have nothing to put in a cart and nothing to quote. Their site exists to prove something to a particular reader, and who that reader is decides the whole structure: a specifier checking a material, a procurement review reading your security page, a regulator opening a management plan, or a company deciding whether to join. These templates differ by that reader, not by industry.
Manufacturers with a catalogue but no online order, professional firms, membership bodies, and companies whose sale ends in a conversation rather than a checkout.
Corporate sites
Pick by who has to be convinced. A specifier — Ardesa Surfaces is a material catalogue built so someone can specify from it. A procurement review — Coldspan publishes pricing tiers, a security page and a release log, because in enterprise software those get read more carefully than the home page. A landowner or a regulator — Greywether makes estates, compartments and management plans into real content types with their own pages and downloads. Someone choosing a professional — Marchbank Tully is built around people and practice areas, with no booking system anywhere. Members and applicants — Slate Guild carries a public register, a dated events diary that sorts itself, and a numbered publications library.

- No product plugin is involved: there is no cart, no enquiry basket and nothing pretending to be either.
- Each one has a content type that carries the proof, rather than a page of adjectives: estates, publications, capabilities, practice areas, finishes.
- Forms exist, but there is usually only one, and it is the action the whole site leads to.
- The structures are date aware where the trade needs it, so a diary or a release log is right the morning after without anyone editing it.
Before you buy
- We have products but do not sell them online. Which type is this?
- This one, not an online store. Ardesa Surfaces is exactly that case: a catalogue built to be specified from, with no checkout. Adding a cart you do not intend to use costs you the credibility of everything around it.
- Can I add booking or a shop later?
- Yes. All of these run on the same theme and engine as the booking and store templates, so the parts are the same and the difference is which plugin you activate. What you should not do is start from a store template because you might sell online one day.
