WordPress
A block theme with the same look. The form comes from the free Formgong plugin.
- Download sorrel-wordpress.zip. Don't unzip it. In WordPress, open Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the file, click Install Now, then Activate.
- Install the free Formgong plugin (Plugins → Add New, search for "Formgong"). Create a free key at formgong.com/new and paste it under Settings → Formgong.

The contact form is the Formgong plugin's block, not part of the theme. Without the plugin the page has no form.

Shopify
An Online Store 2.0 theme. The home page has the template's design; product, cart and the other store pages are simple pages in the same style.

Use with AI
A prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, v0, Lovable or Bolt that builds a site in Sorrel's style: the sections in order, the colours, the fonts, the motion and a contact form that sends to Formgong.
Build a website for an independent neighbourhood pharmacy in the style of the free "Sorrel" template (live demo: https://sorrel.formgong.com). Write plain HTML, CSS and a little vanilla JavaScript in one index.html, unless this tool builds in its own stack (v0, Lovable and Bolt use React): then keep the same sections, look and form logic. Use my business name and details where I give them. Where a section needs photos, names, prices, reviews or other copy I haven't given, use neutral placeholder images (CSS gradients or inline SVG, sized for the layout) and short placeholder text that is clearly marked for me to replace. Sections, top to bottom: 1. Header with the menu (a separate menu on phones). 2. Split hero: "Good advice, next door." in a big serif, hand-drawn leaves, and an opening-hours panel that says Open now or Closed from the visitor's clock. 3. Delivery: "Check if we deliver to you", a postcode check (the list of areas lives in the script and nothing is sent). 4. Services: five colour cards. 5. Checks and vaccinations: clear prices. 6. How a jab or a check works: steps. 7. The counter: skincare and vitamins in refillable glass. 8. The team behind the counter. 9. Reviews from neighbours. 10. FAQ. 11. Book or ask: two forms side by side. 12. Footer with contact details. Colours (define them as CSS variables): - Background: #FFFBF3 - Ink: #13261B - Muted text: #4A5B50 - Leaf green: #1F9A55 - Deep green: #0E7240 - Beet (accent): #C4195A - Deep beet: #A3124A - Lime: #D4E84F - Mint: #E3F4E6 - Blush: #FBE3EA Fonts (Google Fonts): Young Serif for headings, Onest (400 to 700) for text. Motion and hover: - The leaves sway and drift; the Open now dot pulses. - Service cards lift with a shadow on hover and their photo zooms. - Blocks rise in once in view. - Motion stops with reduced motion, and every block is visible without JavaScript. - Wrap every animation in @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference), so visitors who ask for less motion get the final state. - Hide content for reveal animations only from JavaScript (add a class such as js to <html> first and hide only under it), so every section is visible without JavaScript. Contact form, sent to Formgong (a hosted form backend, no server code): - Booking form fields: service, day, time, name, phone, email, note. Ask for no prescriptions, drug names or medical details. Use these name attributes: service, day, time, name, phone, email, note. Add a hidden field subject with the value "New booking request from the website" so the message is easy to recognise in the inbox. - The form is <form action="https://formgong.com/submit" method="POST"> with <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="fk_your_access_key"> and <input type="hidden" name="_lang" value="en">. I will replace fk_your_access_key with my own key from https://formgong.com/new. The key is public and safe in the page. - Add a honeypot: a text input named botcheck, hidden with CSS (position:absolute; width:1px; height:1px; overflow:hidden; clip-path:inset(50%)), with tabindex="-1" and autocomplete="off". - Submit with fetch: POST https://formgong.com/submit, body new FormData(form), header Accept: application/json. Disable the button while it sends. - Show the thank-you message only when the JSON response has success === true. On anything else (an error response, a non-2xx status, a network error) show the error message, keep what the visitor typed and enable the button again. - Keep the name attributes exactly as listed: Formgong stores each value under its field name. - Without JavaScript the plain form POST must still work: Formgong then shows its own thank-you page. To send visitors to my own page instead, add <input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="https://example.com/thanks/"> (I will put my real URL there). - Do not add a backend, API route, server action, database or email library. - Other forms on the site use the same endpoint, key, honeypot and success check: Ask a pharmacist for a callback (subject "Callback request: ask a pharmacist": name, phone, call_time with a few choices, question). Accessibility: a visible label on every field, a visible focus style, alt text on images, and text contrast of at least 4.5:1.
- Copy the prompt and paste it into the AI tool. Add your business name, services and contact details at the end.

success: true.
What is inside
- A split hero with a big serif headline, hand-drawn leaves that sway and an opening-hours panel that says Open now or Closed from the visitor's clock.
- A postcode check for home delivery (the list of areas lives in the script and nothing is sent), and five colour service cards.
- Prices on a dark band, how a visit works in four steps that advance on their own, a counter photo, a drifting photo strip, the team, reviews and an FAQ.
- Two forms: book a vaccination or health check, and ask a pharmacist for a callback. Neither asks for prescriptions, drug names or medical details, and both show thanks only when the server answers
success: true. - Motion that stops with reduced motion, and every block visible without JavaScript.
Questions
Can customers send prescriptions through the form?
No. The forms book a visit or ask for a callback. Prescriptions are handled at the counter or through your own pharmacy system.
Can I use the photos?
Yes. They were generated for this template and show fictional people and places, but replace them with your own pharmacy before launch.
