Maroko - Responsive WordPress Fashion Theme 1.3.4

Maroko is a vibrant, feature-rich WordPress fashion theme that leans into the "Streetwear" and "Modern Boutique" vibe. While Vura is about quiet luxury and minimalism, Maroko is about energy and visual engagement. It is often chosen by brands that want to showcase large collections with bold, eye-catching layouts.

It is developed by the RoadThemes team, a group well-regarded for their specialized e-commerce designs.

Core Highlights

Dynamic Visuals: Unlike minimalist themes, Maroko uses a variety of carousels (Brands, Products, Latest Posts) to keep the homepage feeling active and constantly updated.

Layout Versatility: It offers both Boxed and Full-Width layouts, allowing you to choose between a classic, contained web look or a modern, edge-to-edge cinematic feel.

Customization Power: It features an extensive theme options panel that allows you to change colors and fonts across the entire site without touching code.

Touch-Friendly UX: The theme is specifically engineered for "thumb-scrolling," ensuring that mobile users have large enough buttons and smooth swipe transitions between products.

Key Features for Fashion Retailers

Product Image Zoom: A critical feature for fashion where textures matter; customers can hover to see the weave of a fabric or the detail of a stitch.

Ajax Layered Navigation: Allows shoppers to filter by size, color, or price without the page reloading, making the shopping process feel like a high-end app.

Secondary Image on Hover: When a user mouses over a product, it can flip to show the back of the garment or a lifestyle shot of a model wearing it.

Newsletter Popups: Built-in styling for mail capture—perfect for offering that "10% off your first order" incentive that fashion brands rely on.

Pro-Tip for Maroko

Because Maroko uses many carousels and "Quick View" features, it can be slightly heavier than a purely minimalist theme. To keep it lightning-fast, I recommend using a WebP image converter plugin to ensure your fashion photography stays crisp but small in file size.

Would you like me to see if there is a Shopify version of Maroko available (as it is often released for both platforms), or are you ready to look into the installation requirements for WordPress?
