Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to use this theme for a high-volume blog?

While it includes blog functionality, the structure is optimized specifically for portfolio presentation. You can certainly post updates, but the layout logic is tilted toward showcasing images rather than text-heavy articles.

Can I create custom galleries without coding knowledge?

Yes, the theme utilizes dedicated gallery post types and a shortcode generator. These tools allow you to build and insert galleries into your pages through the standard editor without needing to write or edit raw code.

Does this include WooCommerce support for selling prints?

Not Clearly Specified. The theme is built primarily as a portfolio showcase, and there is no explicit documentation confirming native integration with e-commerce platforms.

How does the theme ensure my portfolio looks good on mobile devices?

The responsive layout logic automatically recalculates grid spacing and image sizes based on the visitor’s screen width. This ensures that your portfolio images remain sharp and navigational elements stay accessible regardless of the device.

What happens if I want to change the font styles?

You are provided with access to Google Web Fonts directly through the theme options. This allows you to select and apply different typefaces across your headings and body text to match your specific branding requirements.
