Features
What the Kit already does, what is an add-on and what is still being built. Without overselling.
Content
Blocks with variants
Each block with layouts that only show the fields that apply.
Block scheduling
A block appears and disappears on the dates you choose.
Real previews
Blocks show in the backoffice as they do on the site.
Section library
Save a finished section and reuse it on another page.
Several languages
Every text in every language, and the switcher only shows the ones that exist.
Automations
No-code flows with Umbraco Automate, switched on when needed.
Design
Colours and fonts
Brand colours and 20 fonts served by the site itself.
Button styles
12 styles, from filled buttons to hover effects.
Headers and footers
Several arrangements, including this site's mega menu.
Backgrounds and edges
Colour, photo or frosted glass, with wave, torn or diagonal edges.
Motion
Entrances, animated headings and page transitions. They stop for visitors who ask for less motion.
Corners and images
Roundness and image effects for the whole site.
Trust
Accessibility
Checked contrast, nothing under 16px and one main heading per page.
SEO
Per-page metadata, a dynamic sitemap and structured data.
Cookies and legal pages
A consent banner, generated legal pages and proof of consent.
External content on hold
Third-party videos and maps only load after consent.
Updates
Fixes and new blocks reach each site with a package update.
System pages
Home, search, 404 and legal pages created with the site.
Designed for the phone first
Every block is designed for a small screen and grows from there. Buttons that are easy to tap and text that never drops below 16px.

Questions
Is the Kit a product for sale?
It is Double Shore's base for its clients' sites. Add-ons have their own licence.
Can a client have its own design?
Yes. The Design node changes colours, fonts, buttons and motion, and the same blocks give very different sites.
Why does what comes next have no date?
Because we only set a date once a feature is ready and tested.
