A lightweight, fast, and highly customizable Full Site Editing WordPress theme with 6 built-in style variations, post format support, and fluid responsive spacing.

== Description ==

Hello Plus is a performance-optimized Full Site Editing (FSE) WordPress theme that gives you complete control over every part of your site — header, footer, templates, and content — directly in the WordPress Site Editor, no code required.

The theme ships with 6 ready-made style variations (Electric, Grapes, Marigold, Sherbet, Pitch, and Whisper), letting you switch your entire site's look in a single click. Under the hood, fluid `clamp()`-based spacing ensures layouts breathe naturally on every screen size without manual breakpoint tweaks.

Key Features:

* Full Site Editing (FSE) with 9 block templates — index, home, single, page, archive, search, 404, blank, and blog-alternative
* 6 built-in style variations for instant one-click redesigns (Electric, Grapes, Marigold, Sherbet, Pitch, Whisper)
* Lightweight and fast-loading with minimal CSS footprint
* Post format support — audio, gallery, image, link, quote, status, and video
* 3 navigation menu locations — primary, footer, and social links
* Fluid responsive spacing using CSS clamp() — no manual breakpoints needed
* RTL (Right-to-Left) language support out of the box
* Child-theme-ready following WordPress best practices
* Translation-ready with full WPML and Polylang compatibility
* SEO-optimized with semantic HTML and schema markup
