Smart is a precision-engineered Minimalist Portfolio WordPress Theme designed for individuals and agencies who believe that "less is more." It is stripped of unnecessary bloat, focusing entirely on high-speed performance and a sophisticated, gallery-like presentation of your work.
It is an ideal choice for Graphic Designers, UX/UI Architects, Minimalist Illustrators, and Creative Directors who want a digital portfolio that feels like a premium art book.
Ultra-Minimalist Aesthetic: Designed around a strict grid system with a heavy emphasis on typography and white space to eliminate distractions.
Lightweight Architecture: Built for speed. Smart often avoids heavy slider plugins in favor of native CSS and JS, ensuring your portfolio loads instantly on all connections.
Elementor Integration: Despite its minimal look, it is fully compatible with Elementor, giving you drag-and-drop control over your project layouts.
Live Customizer: Change colors, fonts, and grid spacing in real-time without needing to refresh the page or touch any code.
One-Click Demo Content: Includes several "Starter" layouts (Grid, Masonry, and Full-width) to get your portfolio online in minutes.
Dynamic Grid Filters: Allows visitors to sort your work by category (e.g., "Branding," "Web Design," "Photography") with smooth, instantaneous animations.
Fullscreen Galleries: Clean, distraction-free lightboxes that allow users to view your work in high resolution without UI clutter.
Typography Focus: Comes with curated font pairings designed to give your site a professional, "editorial" feel right out of the box.
Infinite Scroll: Optional feature to keep users engaged by loading more projects as they scroll down the page.
Video Support: Easily embed Vimeo or YouTube content into your portfolio items, maintaining the minimal frame around the video player.
Retina Ready: Every icon and element is optimized for high-density displays (iPhone, MacBook Pro, 5K monitors).
Fully Responsive: The "Smart" grid automatically collapses into a beautiful, single-column layout on mobile devices.
SEO Friendly: Clean, semantic HTML5 code ensures that Google can easily index your projects and images.
Child Theme Included: Ready for developers who want to add custom functions while keeping the main theme updateable.
The "Smart" theme is for the professional who wants their work to speak for itself. It is a "transparent" themeāit stays out of the way so your creativity takes center stage. It is perfect for:
Digital Designers: Who need a clean canvas to show off complex interface designs.
Copywriters: Who want a text-focused layout that remains visually interesting.
Boutique Studios: That want to project a high-end, exclusive image through minimalist design.
Pro Tip: In a theme as minimal as Smart, consistency is key. Ensure your project thumbnails all share the same aspect ratio (e.g., all 4:3 or all 1:1) to maintain the "perfect" grid look that makes this theme so appealing.
Installation: Upload smart.zip via Appearance > Themes.
Plugin Setup: Activate the "Smart Core" plugin and your preferred page builder.
Choose Your Grid: Use the customizer to select between a standard grid, a masonry layout (different heights), or a modern "split" view.
Add Projects: Use the "Portfolio" post type to upload your images and descriptions; the theme will automatically place them in the grid.
