== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this theme require any plugins? =

No. The theme works out of the box with core WordPress. Optional store integrations (Amazon, Etsy, Bandcamp) are built in and can be configured via the Customizer.

= How do I customize the navigation? =

Go to Appearance > Editor > Template Parts > Header. The navigation is a standard WordPress Navigation block that you can edit directly in the Site Editor.

= How does portfolio filtering work? =

Add tags to your posts (e.g., "design", "strategy"). The portfolio template displays filter buttons for each tag. Visitors can also deep-link with URL parameters like `?tag=design`.

= Can I password-protect a page? =

Yes. WordPress has built-in password protection. In the editor, go to Post Settings > Status & Visibility > Visibility and choose "Password Protected." The theme includes dark-styled password form styling.
