Scalo — Lawyer Office WordPress Theme

About This Item

Scalo WordPress Theme is a feature-rich Law Firm WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 5, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with Custom Post Type support. It ships with 18 page templates, a filterable practice-area grid, an attorney team showcase, a blog module, an appointment booking system — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering law firm and attorney websites. The theme follows WordPress coding standards throughout: template hierarchy, action and filter hooks, wp_enqueue_scripts for all assets, and a child-theme-ready structure. Every visible element is customisable via the Customizer live preview — no page builder plugin dependency required.
