A free, elegant block theme for hotels, resorts and boutique guesthouses.

== Description ==

hmsAura is a free block theme built for hotels, resorts, boutique guesthouses and other hospitality businesses. It gives every hotel a polished website that reflects its own corporate identity, without writing code.

**Built for hotels**

* Ready-made patterns: hero, welcome/story, rooms & suites, amenities, gallery, guest reviews, booking call to action, contact & location.
* Complete page patterns: Hotel Homepage, Rooms Page and Contact Page.
* A "Page (No Title)" template for full-width landing pages.
* Blog templates for news, offers and local guides, with a card-style post grid.

**Reflect your brand (corporate identity)**

* Upload your logo once; it is used in the header, the footer and as the site icon. Two header layouts are included: "Logo and Site Title" and "Logo Only" (Appearance → Editor → Patterns → Header).
* Every colour in the theme is a named brand token (Primary, Secondary, Accent, Base, Contrast, Neutral). Change them in Styles → Colours and the whole site updates.
* Five style variations to start from: Navy & Gold (default), Forest, Terracotta, Ocean and Midnight (dark).
* Font family, sizes and spacing are editable in Styles. Add your brand typeface through the built-in Font Library.
* Block styles: Card, Eyebrow label, Secondary button, Framed image and Checkmarks list.

**Standards**

* 100% block theme (Full Site Editing) using theme.json version 3.
* No external requests: no remote fonts, scripts or images.
* Accessibility-ready structure: skip link, visible focus styles, semantic landmarks, reduced-motion support.
* Translation ready. A Turkish (tr_TR) translation is bundled.
* Licensed under the GPL v2 or later. Free for any hotel to use, modify and redistribute.

**Privacy**

hmsAura does not collect, store or transmit any user data, does not set cookies, does not load remote resources and does not phone home. It adds no options to the database.

== Installation ==

1. In your admin panel, go to Appearance → Themes and click "Add New".
2. Search for "hmsAura", or click "Upload Theme" and choose the theme zip file.
3. Click "Install" and then "Activate".
4. Go to Appearance → Editor to choose a style variation, upload your logo and adjust colours.

**Building your hotel homepage**

1. Create a new page (Pages → Add New).
2. In the page settings sidebar choose the template "Page (No Title)".
3. Insert the "Hotel Homepage" pattern from the "hmsAura Pages" category and replace the text and images with your own.
4. Publish the page, then go to Settings → Reading and set it as your static front page.

The "Book Now" button in the header links to the #reservation anchor of the Booking Call to Action pattern. Replace its buttons with a link to your booking engine or a form plugin.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the theme include a booking or room-management system? =

No. Booking engines, room inventories and contact forms are plugin territory. hmsAura is designed to work with your booking engine of choice: link the "Book Now" buttons to it, or embed its widget in the Booking Call to Action pattern. Any contact form plugin can be added to the Contact pattern.

= How do I add my logo or show only the logo in the header? =

Go to Appearance → Editor, open the Header template part and click the Site Logo block to upload your logo. If you prefer a header without the site name, replace the header with the "Header (Logo Only)" pattern from the hmsAura pattern category, or simply delete the Site Title and Site Tagline blocks.

= How do I change the hotel's colours? =

Go to Appearance → Editor → Styles. Pick one of the five style variations or open "Colours" and edit the Primary, Secondary and Accent colours to match your brand.

= How do I add my own fonts? =

Go to Appearance → Editor → Styles → Typography and use the Font Library to upload your brand font or install one from Google Fonts. The theme itself bundles no font files and uses system fonts by default.

= Where do the demo images come from? =

All images bundled with the theme are original, abstract illustrations created by the theme author and released under CC0. Replace them with your own hotel photography.

= Is the theme translated? =

The theme is translation ready and includes a Turkish (tr_TR) translation. Other languages can be added through translate.wordpress.org.
