### 3. Technical Core 

* **Elementor or Gutenberg:** Most CreativeMarket poster themes utilize **Elementor** for the product landing pages and **Gutenberg** for the blog, offering a perfect balance of design and speed. 
* **Mobile-First Checkout:** In 2026, art sales often happen via social media referrals (Instagram/TikTok). The theme is optimized for one-handed mobile checkout via Apple Pay or Google Pay. 
* **Retina Ready:** Ensures that even the most detailed vector posters appear sharp on 4K and 5K displays. 
* **SEO for Artists:** Includes structured data for "Products" so your posters appear in Google Image Search results with "In Stock" and "Price" badges.

### 4. Setup & Implementation Tips 

1. **Aspect Ratio Consistency:** To keep your shop looking professional, try to keep your featured images in a consistent aspect ratio (e.g., 2:3 or 3:4) so the grid doesn't look cluttered. 
2. **Use WebP for Previews:** Since your site will be image-heavy, convert your product photos to **WebP** to maintain 90%+ Google PageSpeed scores. 
3. **The "Gallery" Hero:** Use a **Revolution Slider** or a simple Elementor "Ken Burns" effect on your homepage to show close-ups of your most popular prints. 
4. **PHP Requirements:** Ensure your hosting uses **PHP 8.2** and has at least **512MB of Memory** to handle the high-resolution image processing in the WordPress media library.

### 5. Why Choose this Theme on CreativeMarket? 

CreativeMarket themes are generally more "design-forward" than those on larger marketplaces. **Creative Poster** isn't just a store; it's a branding tool. It targets the "aesthetic-conscious" buyer. If you are selling high-end architectural prints or indie band posters, this theme provides the "cool factor" that a generic WooCommerce theme lacks.
