Yes! Refoundry has been used to create professional, high-performance websites since late 2022. There are hundreds of early Refoundry users out there in the wild, including agencies, site owners, marketers, and technical teams. 

Refoundry’s case studies library is coming soon! In the meantime, you can see a selection of websites built entirely using Refoundry on the Forge and Smith website (we’re the agency behind Refoundry). 

Yes! Refoundry offers a free version with essential features for building beautiful WordPress sites. Anyone can download it and get started. You’ll find everything you need in our Getting Started support documentation. 

The Pro version includes everything from the free version, plus advanced features like the Component Library, animations & parallax, custom fields and Reusable Component Blocks. It’s perfect for more complex or dynamic websites. Read more on our Pro Features. 

We don’t offer a trial of the Pro version, but you can start with the free version to see how Refoundry works. If you find that you need the additional features, upgrading to Pro is quick and easy. We also offer custom demos to help you decide if Refoundry is right for you, and we offer a refund if, after 30 days, you don’t love Refoundry. 

Yes, purchasing the Pro version gives you access to priority email support. We’re here to help with any questions or issues you might encounter while building with Refoundry. For a limited time to support our early adopters, we’re able to offer screenshares to help get you up to speed even faster.

Download the Refoundry zip file you received in your email. In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Add New. Click “Upload Plugin”, select the downloaded zip file, and click “Install Now.”

After installation, be sure to activate the plugin to enable its features. Read more in our support documentation.

Refoundry was engineered to enhance the Gutenberg editor, so anything Gutenberg can do, Refoundry can do too (and better!). If a plugin is compatible with Gutenberg, it should also work with Refoundry. That means you can keep using all of your favourite plugins for SEO, accessibility, translation, analytics, form-building, reviews, security, and so on. 

The same is true of any tech integration, such as eCommerce platforms and marketing platforms. You do need to have PHP 8.0 or higher, and WordPress version 6.6 or higher.

Yes! You can add Refoundry to any WordPress site that uses the Gutenberg editor. 

Yes, and they will even pick up the Global Styles settings that you’ve created for Refoundry.

No. Refoundry is a low-code tool that renders code as you work with the blocks and native settings. Anyone can use it to create layouts, build menus, make templates, set global styles, and more. With that said, you’ll have an easier time getting started with Refoundry if you’re already comfortable with the Gutenberg full site editor and the concept of containers, rows, and columns. 

Refoundry is themeless in the traditional sense, where a theme is a bunch of code that controls creative elements across your site. Refoundry comes with two themes that don’t do anything like that. One is empty, and only exists so that Refoundry can work with WordPress, and to give developers a place to add custom code. The other is Refoundry’s Starter Theme, which is optional to use and comes with global and component style presets as well as a basic header, footer, and a demo page to help you get started faster. 

You don’t have to use templates to build with Refoundry. But Refoundry can work with templates in the same way any WordPress site can (ie. with the default templates and templates parts functions, which you can build out with Refoundry blocks), because templates make it easier and faster to create new content! 

Pro users also have access to a library of expert-crafted, responsive UX templates, from small content sections to entire layouts. You can make as many custom layouts as you want, and even customize styles and layout settings within a template. 

Absolutely. Just because it’s low-code, doesn’t mean you’re limited. WordPress is open source, and Refoundry is an extension of WordPress. So developers can add custom CSS, JavaScript, or add functions to functions.php to build custom features, integrate tools, or modify WordPress behaviors—all while leveraging Refoundry’s flexible block-based system. It’s also easier to customize WordPress with Refoundry, because you can do this in the Custom Styles area of the full site editor as well as in the theme. 

Yes. Just like any other WordPress site, you can create as many pages and posts as you need. In fact, Refoundry makes it quicker to build page and post templates if you use its Reusable Component Blocks. We have seen Refoundry sites with 1k to 50k posts!  

Refoundry was created by an agency, for agencies, and continues to be supported (and expanded) by its original team of experienced engineers. We know that any problem can eat into profitability. We have a team of real humans who answer all support requests. Pro users get priority email support. We also have a thorough (and free) Support Library that includes detailed documentation on every single block, settings and features, and video tutorials.
