Frequently Asked Questions

General

Do Dripyard themes make use of CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind?

No. Dripyard themes use modern vanilla CSS including grid, flexbox, and other technologies. We believe that CSS frameworks can add bloat, and increase technical debt. The CSS included in our components is easy to read and understand without having to dig into the specifics of a framework.

What versions of Drupal do you support?

When purchasing a theme today, we support Drupal 11.2 and later. We provide "best effort" support for earlier versions of Drupal including Drupal 10. 

If you are on Drupal 10, you'll want to make sure you're on 10.5 or later to ensure stylesheets are loaded in the correct order (Drupal change record here). You'll also want to the ui_icons_backport (part of UI Icons) to handle the icon functionality. And included recipes will not work. 

Do Dripyard themes support multilingual and RTL languages such as Arabic?

Yes! All Dripyard themes are fully multilingual and take advantage of Drupal's translation APIs where appropriate. All of our themes are designed and tested with RTL (right to left) layouts. 

What if I need a customization that’s not available in the theme?

Dripyard themes include over 50 professionally designed components to cover most use cases. However, if your project requires custom functionality or design beyond what’s included, we offer premium customization services. Our team can design and build bespoke components tailored to your needs. Contact us for a quote and our current hourly rate.

What are the advantages of a component-based theme architecture?

Component-based architecture offers several key benefits:

  • Encapsulation: Each component is self-contained, making updates and maintenance easier.
  • Flexibility: Components can be wired into any Drupal content architecture, including Layout Builder, Paragraphs, or Experience Builder.
  • Scalability: New components can be added without disrupting existing functionality.
  • Consistency: Design and behavior remain predictable across pages and use cases.
How many components are included in each theme?

Dripyard themes ship with 50+ production-ready components, including:

  • Layout utilities
  • Call-to-actions
  • Header and footer variations
  • Landing page sections
  • Navigation and search tools
  • Drupal-specific utilities

All components are designed to work harmoniously and can be extended as needed.

What accessibility standards do Dripyard themes meet?

Our themes are built to comply with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines. This includes semantic markup, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and ARIA best practices.

However, full accessibility depends on content authors following best practices (e.g., providing descriptive alt text, form labels, and structured content). We have lots more information in our Accessibility Statement. Check it out!

What is included with the demo content?

Dripyard demo content includes example pages, layouts, and component configurations that showcase the theme’s capabilities. It’s designed to help you get started quickly by demonstrating best practices in layout, typography, and component composition. Images used in the demo are either free to use or clearly marked for replacement.

Are Dripyard themes compatible with Drupal Canvas / Experience Builder?

Yes. All Dripyard themes are tested for compatibility with Drupal Canvas / Experience Builder (XB). While Canvas is evolving rapidly, we continuously update our themes to ensure smooth integration and full support upon its official release.

Will Dripyard themes work with other page builders?

Absolutely. Our component architecture is builder-agnostic, meaning it works with:

  • Drupal Canvas / Experience Builder
  • Layout Builder
  • Paragraphs
  • Custom blocks and views

This ensures flexibility no matter which content architecture your team prefers.

What is your refund policy?

Because our themes are digital downloads,  we do not offer refunds. That being said, if you are not satisfied with your purchase, let us know and we'll do our best to make it right. See our refund policy for more information.

Implementation

How do I apply my brand styles to a Dripyard theme?

Dripyard themes include a robust theme settings interface that allows you to:

  • Choose your brand colors
  • Customize border radii, spacing, and typography
  • Adjust header behavior and layout options

These settings are designed to help you achieve a branded look and feel without touching code. For deeper customization, our SASS structure is well-organized for developer-friendly overrides.

Licensing

How are Dripyard themes licensed?

Dripyard themes use a split-license model:

  • GPL-licensed components (required by Drupal): Includes Twig templates and PHP preprocessing.
  • Commercial license: Covers proprietary CSS, JavaScript, design patterns, and advanced configuration recipes.

This approach ensures compatibility with Drupal while protecting the intellectual property of premium features. For more information, see our Licensing page.

Do I need a license key to use a Dripyard theme?

No. Dripyard themes do not require a license key or any external connection to our servers. Once downloaded, the theme is fully self-contained and will continue to function even if our servers are offline. For more information, see our Licensing page.

How many domains does my license cover?

Each Dripyard theme license is valid for a single domain (including subdomains). If you require multi-site or multi-domain licensing, please contact us for volume discounts or enterprise licensing options.  For more information on licensing, see our Licensing page.

Support

What kind of support is included?

Each Dripyard theme purchase includes two months of complimentary support, accessible via Slack or our contact form. This covers theme-related questions, troubleshooting, and guidance.

After the initial support period, you can renew your support agreement at any time. Visit our Support page for renewal options and pricing.

How long does support last? Can I extend it?

Each theme includes 2 months of free support. Support can be extended on a monthly or annual basis by visiting our support page. We recommend renewing support if you expect ongoing development or upgrades.
