Mike Smith DesignThemes

Themes for the businesses on your high street.

The whole catalogue

Filter by trade

Not a layout kit with a barber photo dropped in.

Every theme is built around the one thing that business has to do online. That is the whole difference, and it is easiest to show.

A timetable a gym can actually fill

Fieldhouse ships a real week grid: classes, coaches, levels, spaces left. Change one JSON file and the week redraws. Most gym themes give you a picture of a timetable.

Fieldhouse £25

A wine list that knows it is a wine list

CRU pins the list beside sticky photography as it scrolls, and a live badge reads the real opening hours to say open now or closed tonight. Not a generic pricing table with wine in it.

CRU £20

An RSVP that does the actual work

Both wedding themes take a password from the invite, then collect a dish choice per course per guest, with dietary notes. The menu file drives the menu card and the form together.

Spritz £30

What you get, whichever one you take.

They work when they are empty
Designed around one testimonial, four photos, three rooms. A real small business does not have mega corp content volume, so nothing here is built to need it.
They rebrand in minutes
Content sits in JSON files rather than markup. Swap them and the whole site is a different business. Wire the folder to Decap or Pages CMS and the client edits their own hours and prices.
Four colour packs, on twelve of the fourteen
Curated pairs with a one click switcher, never a colour picker, so one theme covers several clients without a restyle. CRU and Forever, the two oldest, ship in their single designed palette.
Astro 7 and nothing else
Vanilla CSS, one stylesheet, zero frameworks, no build time dependencies beyond Astro itself. Builds to static files you can host anywhere for nothing.

Fourteen of them are free.

Every paid theme has a one page HTML cut with its own live demo and its own public GitHub repo. No build step, no sign up, no email wall. Ship one on a small job and move up when the client needs the whole site.
