Author Child

This is a child theme built for the Author parent theme, designed for website developers and designers who want to modify the appearance and functionality of their site without editing the original theme files. It ensures that custom code remains intact and separate, allowing the parent theme to receive updates safely.

• Safe Customization Framework: The child theme structure protects your modifications. You can edit styles, templates, and functions without the risk of having your work overwritten when the main Author theme is updated.
• Optimized Icon Loading: It includes a curated subset of Font Awesome icons, defined in the build.js file. This reduces the overall file size and improves page load times by only serving the icons you actually need.
• Build Process Integration: The project uses npm for dependency management and includes predefined scripts. Running npm run build processes the theme files, making it ready for deployment to a live site.
• Organized SASS Structure: Custom styles are intended to be added primarily to the style.scss and _variables.scss files, with additional modifications placed in a dedicated _child_theme.scss file. This keeps your CSS organized and maintainable.
• Open Source Foundation: Hosted on GitHub, the code is publicly available for review, contribution, and forking, providing transparency and a starting point for other developers' projects.
