Aaron is a responsive, accessible theme with a call to action, front page highlights, page sections and two menus.

== Description ==

Description: Aaron is a responsive, accessible multi-purpose theme.
Features include Call to action and front page Highlights that will grab your visitors attention and help you feature different parts of your website.
The theme has two optional menus (including a social menu), logo upload, six page templates and three widget areas that will hold any number of widgets. 
Want to run Aaron on a company website rather than a blog? No problem, just hide the meta, the sidebars, and turn off your comments. 
I recommend that you install the Jetpack plugin to make full use of supported features like Testimonials and social sharing. 
To create a portfolio, install Jetpack and create your projects, all the templates are already shipped with the theme.
Aaron also works well with WooCommerce and bbPress. 

Please note that changing the colors of the theme can affect accessibility.

== Installation ==
1. Unzip `aaron.zip` to the `/wp-content/themes/` directory
2. Activate the theme through the 'Appearance' menu in WordPress

== Change log ==
