Smart - Minimal Portfolio WordPress Theme 1.25

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.

## Core Features

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.

## Specialized Portfolio Tools

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.

## Technical Specifications

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.

## Why Choose Smart?

The "Smart" theme is for the professional who wants their work to speak for itself. It is a "transparent" theme—it 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.

## Quick Setup Guide

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.
