Mario. - Creative Multipurpose WordPress Theme 1.0.6

**Mario.** is a high-concept, bold, and modern WordPress theme designed for creative agencies, digital studios, and independent professionals. Developed by **Themeton**, it stands out for its "pixel-perfect" attention to detail and its use of daring, oversized typography combined with fluid animations. 

It is a **multipurpose** theme, but it leans heavily toward the "Creative-Premium" niche, making it perfect for brands that want to look expensive, cutting-edge, and highly curated.

### ### Setup & Creative Branding Tips 

1. **Bold Typography:** Mario relies on "Big Type." Don't be afraid to use large font sizes for your H1 and H2 tags. For a modern look, pair a bold Sans-Serif (like *Inter* or *Montserrat*) with plenty of white space. 
2. **Portfolio Hover Effects:** Use the "Creative List" portfolio style. This allows users to hover over a project name and see a large image preview instantly. It is highly engaging and keeps the interface clean. 
3. **Visual Consistency:** Because Mario is so stylish, it works best when your photography has a consistent "vibe." Use a single color-grading style for all your project thumbnails to create a unified brand identity. 
4. **CTA Placement:** Use the "Slide-in" or "Floating" contact buttons. Mario’s design is minimalist, so these interactive elements help drive leads without cluttering the aesthetic. 

> **Design Tip:** Mario features a "Glitch" effect demo. Use this sparingly—perhaps only on your main "Hero" section or for specific high-tech projects. Too much animation can overwhelm the user; balance it with the theme's more minimalist sections.
