Frequently asked questions.
What does Artic Development do?
We are an independent design studio designing and building website themes. Each theme gives you a visual direction and page patterns to use as the starting point for your own site.
Who are your website themes for?
Our themes are for site owners who want a considered starting point, and for agencies and developers building sites for clients. Browse the theme showroom to explore the designs and their live previews.
Which platform do your themes work with?
Our themes are built specifically for EmDash. You will need an EmDash site to use them; they are not interchangeable with themes for other website platforms.

Purchasing is not open yet. You can explore the previews and join a theme's availability list in the showroom to hear when it can be purchased.
What will be included, and can I make the design my own?
When released, each theme will include the downloadable theme files, a setup guide, and support for questions as you follow the guide. The theme provides a foundation for your own content and identity. Check its details and live preview to see the page patterns and design before choosing.
Will you help me install my theme?
We plan to offer a separate, optional installation package for people who prefer hands-on help. Tell us about your site to ask about installation and the next steps.
