What It Does

The official Material Design plugin for WordPress allows you to customize your site’s navigation, colors, typography, and shapes. You can use Material Components and choose from over 1,000 Google Fonts and Material Design icons. This plugin is developed by the team behind Google’s open-source design system.

Getting started with Material Design for WordPress is simple. You will need to install the Material Theme and examples, which apply Material Design principles to your site. The theme includes example layouts for home, about, projects, blog, and contact pages.

Customization is easy with the theme customizer. You can set up and preview global theme styles, choosing colors, typography, shapes, and icons that reflect your unique style.

With Material Blocks, you can add components like buttons and cards, creating layouts for image-heavy pages or styled contact forms. You can customize the appearance of your blocks by adjusting global theme styles or setting the style of individual components in the block editor.

Finally, you can implement your selected colors, shapes, and typography for built-in WordPress elements such as your site’s header and footer.
