Overview and core value
Björk is described as an accessibility ready, inclusive WordPress theme ideal for presenting your business portfolio and/or e-shop in a modern, beautiful style. It emphasizes delivering honest, accessible, and attractive display for your content, while ensuring it remains readable on any device.
Origins, naming, and philosophy
Why “Björk” name? Björk is the first theme of a new generation for me with full support for WordPress block editor. So I wanted to bridge the gap between my previous themes and this new generation. As the last themes of previous generation were named Icelander and Reykjavik, for this new theme I chose Björk, which is an Icelandic feminine name meaning “birch”. Also, my favorite tree is a birch tree.
