Start here.
EtchPress is full-site kits, a library of parts, a panel that builds kits and composes sections inside Etch, and a skill and an MCP for your AI agent. These pages show how to use each one.
What you need
- WordPress with Etch 1.6 or newer and Automatic.css 4. Both come from Digital Gravy, not from us.
- Or an Etch Studio project, if you build without WordPress.
- An EtchPress account. Free items need no purchase; everything else comes with lifetime access.

How everything is made
Every kit and every library item is built the same way: one literal heading per section, BEM class names, Automatic.css variables for every value, and container queries so a section still works in a narrow column. Change your brand colour or type scale in ACSS and everything you pasted follows.
Versions
Everything is tested with Etch 1.7.1 and ACSS 4.0.1. Each item page lists the versions it was checked against, and the changelog says what changed and when.
