ABOUT JEXII
Professional WordPress tools. No bloat.
Jexii is a suite of eight plugins and a block theme, built for WordPress developers and site owners who want professional-grade tooling without the bloat, lock-in, or subscription creep that defines most of this space.
GPL licensed · No lock-in · Built for Full Site Editing
THE SUITE
Eight plugins. One theme.
Each plugin solves a specific problem in the WordPress content and SEO stack. They share one data layer, ship as independent installs, and work fine on their own — or together. The theme is the chassis everything is designed to run on.
PLUGINS
The plugin suite
Eight plugins covering the full content and SEO workflow: Jexii SEO for metadata and schema, Optimize for content scoring, Stock for media management, Strategy for keyword and content planning, Indexing for instant submissions, Dashboard for site health, pSEO for programmatic content at scale, and Feeds for RSS and social syndication.
THEME
Jexii Builder
A brand-agnostic FSE block theme built as a chassis, not a finished product. All design tokens live in theme.json — palette, type scale, spacing, radius, shadows. Brands ship as style variations or child themes. Sections and looks ship as block patterns and block styles. No custom CSS required.
COMPANION
Luxii
A sister product for photographers: an AI metadata tagger that runs inside Lightroom Classic. Writes titles, captions, keywords, and alt text for your entire library in one pass. Privacy-first with BYO key mode; hosted credits available for instant use.
HOW WE BUILD
Token-first. Subtract, don’t add. Opt-in always.
PRINCIPLE 1
Token-first
Every color, type step, spacing value, and radius is a design token defined in theme.json — not a hardcoded value scattered across 40 CSS files. Changing a brand color is one edit. Swapping an entire brand is one style variation file.
PRINCIPLE 2
Subtract, don’t add
Every feature shipped is a feature that needs to be maintained and explained. Jexii plugins do one thing well and defer everything else to WordPress core or the block editor. No settings pages with 80 toggles. No “just in case” features nobody asked for.
PRINCIPLE 3
Opt-in always
Nothing turns itself on. Atmosphere effects, block style animations, advanced plugin capabilities — all require an explicit opt-in. A fresh install is quiet and out of the way. You add what you need, where you need it.
BEHIND THE PROJECT
Made by Lantern Row.
Jexii is built and maintained by Lantern Row, an independent software studio focused on WordPress tooling. The plugins and theme are GPL-licensed, actively maintained, and designed to be long-term dependencies you can actually trust.
We build tools we use ourselves on real client sites. When something breaks in production, we find out the same way you do. That keeps priorities honest.
