A brief theme introduction
Smarald was built while using WordPress guidelines, and according to our practical knowledge, I believe I’ve crafted the most intuitive, simple to use, easy to use, future proof WordPress theme up to now (and I will continuously update it to make certain it's so). The consumer experience continues to be carefully thought to become as simple, enjoyable and intuitive as you possibly can, by using CSS3 animations and transitions which make the expertise of utilizing a website engaging &lifier immersive.
Speed seemed to be our primary goals with this theme. Loads insanely fast (under .5 seconds!) on the quality host like Wordpress Engine. Here’s some Proof.
After I stated this theme is responsive, oh boy, it is actually. The theme is contained on the power grid of 1200px wide and when it's seen on the tablet, or perhaps a cell phone, it easily adjusts towards the device it's being seen on. Touch swipe support continues to be enabled on certain elements, like slider mobile phones, portfolio navigation or perhaps single posts navigation. Just swipe your finger in your tablet or phone within the preferred direction, in which the navigation arrows appear, to check this out.
It is simple to affect the width from the power grid, alter the color plan (light / dark) or alter theme colors, using the new WordPress Theme Customizer which has been around since WordPress 3.4. You may also set custom skills on the per publish / page basis.
I've made certain the theme is retina ready, but additionally whenever a retina screen will end up obsolete, and we'll have greater pixel density screens, by utilizing SVGs rather than images I ensured your site will appear beautiful on products that are not yet been produced 
Viewing the theme on the smartphone, you’ll notice our unique off-canvas menu, an element never witnessed before on ThemeForest, featuring beautiful CSS3 animations and transitions which make the interface a lot more intuitive and simple to use.
I'm also available to suggestions, and when I believe they're viable solution for that theme or asked for by enough people, I’ll add them nonetheless. Thank you for reading through this up until the finish. This is simply the beginning.
