How It Works
Themes
Layout Themes
Minimal styles, defaults, layout and utility components
Data Theme
Optional, adds a backend data source or just use MDX
Presentation Theme
Visual design, custom layouts and UI components
Gatsby Starter
Packages a set themes together for ease of use.
Production Site
Add branding, content, styles, and customization. Component shadowing and Theme UI give you full control over the finished product.
Layout Themes
Minimally styled themes that focus on layout, function, and utility components. These can be used as a solid foundation to build a fully custom site.
Data Themes
Adds an optional data structure on top of the layout themes to provide additional content authoring experiences. SANITY.io and an MDX blog are currently supported this way.
Presentation Themes
Adds visual components and specialized layouts like a custom home page. These themes are designed to be modified for branding (colors, logos, fonts, etc).
Theme-UI
Theme UI enables you to quickly customize the visual design of your user interfaces using key-value pairs to modify colors, fonts, spacings, and more.
MDX
MDX lets you seamlessly write JSX in your Markdown documents. It is the default content authoring format in Gatsby Theme Catalyst.
Theme Options
Theme options are used as feature flags to toggle small changes to your design, like displaying social media links, without having to rewrite code.
