Hamon - Ajax Photography WordPress Theme
Hamon is a minimal, stylish WordPress theme designed for modern photography sites. It combines a creative portfolio concept with AJAX-powered navigation and an integrated music background for immersive user experiences.
Design philosophy and target users
- Minimal and stylish design tailored for modern photography websites.

Interactive features and navigation

How it works: loading and routing
- The theme fetches HTML from your server via AJAX and replaces the content of a container element with the loaded HTML.
