A bold, animated portfolio theme for designers, photographers, architects and studios.

== Description ==

NEWTIV Portfolio puts the work first and gives it movement: headings rise word by word, images are uncovered as you scroll, the featured project drifts slowly behind the page, and moving from the grid to a project carries its image across. Everything is editable in the site editor, without code.

* Full-screen introduction with your availability and local time.
* Featured project at full width, then an offset grid of selected work with numbered projects.
* All work as a staggered grid or as an index list with a floating image preview, with category filters.
* Services that open like an accordion, a four-step process, testimonials with previous / next, a grid of clients, awards and press.
* Project pages: large title, summary, full-width image, details (client, role, year, deliverables), case study, gallery, figures that count up, next project and more work.
* Contact details set once in Appearance → Customize → Contact and social links: email, WhatsApp (with a prepared message and an optional floating button), phone, booking link, studio address, availability and ten social networks. Empty fields disappear everywhere.
* Effects you can switch off one by one: intro curtain, page transitions, scroll reveals, custom cursor, light / dark switch, WhatsApp button. Visitors who ask for reduced motion never see the animations.
* Three style variations: Ink (light), Night (dark) and Sand (warm).
* Fonts bundled with the theme: no request to Google Fonts.

== Getting started ==

1. Publish one post per project with a featured image, a category (Identity, Product…) and a short excerpt: the excerpt becomes the summary under the project title.
2. Mark your best project as « Stick to the top of the blog » to show it at full width on the home page.
3. Go to Appearance → Customize → Contact and social links and fill in your details.
4. In a project, open the inserter, choose the « NEWTIV Portfolio » patterns and add « Project details », « Case study » and « Project gallery ».
5. Change the texts of the home page in Appearance → Editor → Templates → Front Page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do the projects come from? =

Projects are regular posts. The home page shows the featured project and six others; the posts page and the categories list all of them with pagination.

= How do I add my WhatsApp number? =

Appearance → Customize → Contact and social links. Type the number with the country code, for example +225 07 00 00 00 00. The contact section, the footer and the floating button use it straight away.

= The animations are too much for my site. =

Appearance → Customize → Effects: untick the ones you do not want.
