Style guide

Built on WordPress

Drag, drop,
publish. Done.

The entire OUC site was built on WordPress using fully custom Gutenberg blocks. Every one of the 60+ page sections was engineered as a saved block pattern — giving the OUC team the power to build and launch new pages entirely on their own.

No code. No developer. Just drag, drop, and publish.
