Serif
A beautiful small business Jekyll theme by CloudCannon. Elegant serif typography, warm tones, and sections for services, team, and contact.
About this Theme
Serif is CloudCannon’s free small business Jekyll theme, and it occupies a space that few free themes do well: a complete, polished website for a professional services business rather than a personal blog or portfolio.
The design uses warm cream tones and elegant serif typography to create a premium feel that communicates trustworthiness without requiring expensive custom design work. Out of the box you get a homepage with a hero section, a services grid, an about section, and a team page — everything a small consultancy, law firm, accountancy practice, or boutique agency needs to launch professionally.
The blog is a sensible addition rather than the focus, allowing you to publish updates and thought leadership without it dominating the site’s identity. Forms are pre-structured and ready to connect to your preferred service.
Who is it for? Small businesses, consultancies, freelancers, and professional services firms who want a polished, credible web presence without paying for custom design.
