BURAN is a high-end, "smart" WordPress theme designed specifically for those who value minimalist aesthetics and technical precision. It is widely recognized for its clean typography and sophisticated grid layouts, making it a favorite for architects, luxury brands, high-end design agencies, and independent creators.
The "Smart" in its name refers to its intelligent layout engine, which ensures that your portfolio looks curated and intentional, regardless of the amount of content you have.
Innovative Grid Engine: BURAN uses a proprietary grid system that allows for unique masonry and metro-style layouts. It intelligently handles different image aspect ratios while maintaining a balanced visual weight.
Portfolio "Hover" Effects: Includes multiple high-end hover styles (minimal, overlay, zoom, and parallax) that make the user experience feel interactive and premium.
Vertical & Horizontal Headers: Easily switch between a traditional top navigation and a modern side-bar (vertical) menu, which is popular in the architecture and fashion niches.
Smooth Page Transitions: Features AJAX-powered loading options to ensure that moving between pages feels fluid and fast, without the jarring "white flash" of a standard page refresh.
Typography Focus: Deep integration with Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts (Typekit), with pre-configured font pairings that emphasize readability and "high-fashion" style.
Elementor & WPBakery Compatible: While BURAN has its own robust set of tools, it is fully optimized for the most popular drag-and-drop builders.
Retina Ready & 4K Optimized: Every element is vector-sharp, ensuring your site looks professional on high-density displays and the latest smartphones.
E-commerce Integration: Fully compatible with WooCommerce, featuring styled shop pages that maintain the theme’s minimalist aesthetic.
One-Click Demo Import: Offers several "Smart Demos" ranging from Agency and Photography to Freelancer and Shop layouts.
To maintain the high-performance "Smart" feel, the following environment is recommended:
PHP 8.1 or 8.2: For the fastest execution of the grid engine.
Memory Limit: 256MB+ (to handle high-resolution portfolio processing).
SEO Standards: Fully compatible with Yoast SEO and Rank Math, with valid HTML5/CSS3 markup that Google's crawlers love.

When uploading projects to BURAN, try using a mix of Portrait and Landscape images. The "Smart" grid will automatically nestle them together to create a magazine-style layout.
Secret Move: In the Portfolio settings, look for the "Gap" control. Reducing the gap to 0px creates a stunning, seamless "Wall of Content" effect that is very popular in modern 2026 web design.
