A designer portfolio WordPress theme for freelancers, art directors, creative professionals and studios.

== Description ==

Portfolio Patterns is a designer portfolio WordPress theme made for freelance
designers, art directors, creative professionals and small studios. It helps
creatives build a polished portfolio website that presents selected work,
project case studies, design services, client testimonials and contact details.
The theme ships a restrained cream and ink visual system with one vermilion
accent, set in Archivo, Newsreader and JetBrains Mono, plus a library of over
fifty block patterns covering headers, heroes, work indexes, case studies,
about pages, services, proof, pricing, journal entries, contact sections and
footers.

Every pattern is self-contained. Insert any of them directly in the Site
Editor and they hold their layout without additional configuration. Two
header styles, two footer styles, and two full style variations (an inverted
"Nocturne" palette and a wire-service inspired "Press" variation) are
included alongside the section-level block styles (Ink, Card, Well) that can
be applied to any group or columns block from the block toolbar.

All three typefaces (Archivo, Newsreader, JetBrains Mono) are bundled locally
as subset variable WOFF2 files and licensed under the SIL Open Font License.
No external font or script requests are made by the theme.

== Installation ==

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
2. Select the Portfolio Patterns zip file and click Install Now.
3. Click Activate.
4. Go to Appearance → Editor to explore the templates, template parts and
   style variations, or Appearance → Editor → Patterns to browse the full
   pattern library, grouped by category.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this theme require any plugins? =

No. Every pattern uses only core WordPress blocks. Where a pattern shows a
form placeholder (the contact enquiry pattern), replace the placeholder
paragraph with the block from your preferred forms plugin.

= Can I change the colours? =

Yes. All colours are defined in theme.json as a named palette (Paper, Ink,
Vermilion, Card, Well, Rule, Muted, Body) and can be edited from Appearance →
Editor → Styles, or by switching to the Nocturne style variation for an
inverted palette.

= Where do the fonts come from? =

Archivo, Newsreader and JetBrains Mono are bundled with the theme as local,
subset, variable WOFF2 files under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. See
assets/fonts/*/LICENSE.txt for the full license text of each family.
