EDICT – Eight Degree Innovative Corporate Theme Overview
EDICT is a corporate theme from 8DegreeThemes, and its distinguishing choice is where the site is assembled. Instead of a page builder, the front page is composed from theme options built on the Redux framework.
Three homepage demos can be imported with a single click, and the front page sections can be reordered by dragging and switched off individually, which makes a clean site quick to arrange without touching layout code. Three blog, portfolio and header layouts come with it.
Built in shortcodes and widgets fill the inner pages, a child theme is included for customisation, and WooCommerce is declared so a small shop can be added later. The result is a compact business site rather than a flexible multipurpose package.

Who EDICT – Eight Degree Innovative Corporate Theme Is Suitable For
Small Canadian businesses and professional offices that want a tidy corporate site assembled quickly: a sortable front page, services, portfolio, blog and contact, without learning a page builder first.
The option driven approach is the trade off. It is fast to configure and limited in what it can be bent into, so a firm expecting unusual layouts or a growing shop will outgrow it. The age of the package makes that judgement sooner rather than later.
Important Notes About EDICT – Eight Degree Innovative Corporate Theme
The three companion plugins that arrive during demo import are never named, in the listing or the declared record, and one of them presumably carries the shortcodes and demo content. A site owner should know what is being installed, so ask the vendor or check the demo before import. Age is the larger caution and all the signals agree: no changelog is published, the packaged style.css carries a pre release version string of 0.0.8 on a product sold since February 2019, the last marketplace file update was March 2019, and declared software support is a single entry for WordPress 5.0.x. Nothing in the record covers current WordPress, WooCommerce or PHP, so a shop here should not take payments without current, separately verified versions.
Documentation is declared as well documented and an address is given, but the link carries a trailing full stop inside the URL itself, so as published it does not resolve. The listing also promotes an HTML version of the same design at a fixed price through an affiliate tracking link to a different product; that is not part of what is being bought and does not appear on a customer site. Enquiry forms need a privacy policy and a retention period under PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25, and AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer buys the licence and AppiAppi installs the theme, establishes which companion plugins it pulls in, and verifies the whole package on a current WordPress release before any content work starts.
The front page sections are then ordered around what the business wants seen first, and services, portfolio entries, blog posts and contact details replace the demo material. Updates, backups, security monitoring, enquiry handling and AI-assisted SEO and content support follow the customer’s subscription.
