Theme Name: Gilded Folio
Theme URI: https://example.com/gilded-folio
Author: Afaan
Description: An animated one-page portfolio theme for developers and designers. Counting preloader with a handwritten greeting, a rippling giant hero word, split-text reveals, floating tech chips, a pinned side-scrolling Services section, a scroll-driven gold "Work" headline with drifting blobs, parallax project cards, a custom cursor and a built-in contact form. Everything is editable in Appearance → Customize; projects are added under Projects.
