Marte is a modern, minimalist Block Theme designed for portfolios and agency websites.

== Description ==

Marte is a flexible block theme built to leverage the full power of Full Site Editing (FSE). Featuring a clean aesthetic and custom block pattern support, it allows you to build professional portfolio websites directly inside the native WordPress editor.

The theme is lightweight, fully accessible, and performance-optimized without any external CSS framework dependencies.

To enable dedicated portfolio custom post types and taxonomies, we recommend using the companion plugin [ItsCriativo Portfolio](https://wordpress.org/plugins/itscriativo-portfolio/).

== Features ==
* Full Site Editing (FSE) and Site Editor support.
* Configured with `theme.json` v3 specifications.
* Includes customizable Block Patterns.
* Header and Footer Template Parts.
* Built-in support for accessibility and reduced motion preferences (`prefers-reduced-motion`).
* Clean, bloat-free code with no external dependencies.

== Installation ==

1. In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to **Appearance > Themes**.
2. Click **Add New**, then click **Upload Theme**.
3. Select the `marte.zip` file and click **Install Now**.
4. Activate the theme.
5. Go to **Appearance > Editor** to customize templates, headers, footers, and global styles.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is the ItsCriativo Portfolio plugin required? =
No. The theme works completely fine as a standard blog or business theme without the plugin. However, to manage dynamic portfolio items and project galleries, installing the [ItsCriativo Portfolio](https://wordpress.org/plugins/itscriativo-portfolio/) plugin is recommended.

== Changelog ==
