We are happy to announce that the Twenty Nineteen WordPress theme is now available as a free Frontity theme.

The popular Twenty Nineteen theme has been ported over to Frontity by Imran Sayed and Smit Patadiya, both active contributors to the WordPress and the Frontity community.

If you are new to Frontity, this pre-made theme will allow you to get your Frontity site up and running easily. It primarily suits blogs, but can be adaptable to a wide range of websites.

You can see the Twenty Nineteen Frontity Theme in action here.
