Meridian — Broker & FinTech WordPress Theme
=============================================

A dark/gold, trust-first WordPress theme concept for brokers, trading platforms,
and fintech companies. Built as a lightweight child theme (no page-builder bloat) —
hand-coded templates, inline SVG icons, and a working AJAX lead-capture form.

REQUIREMENTS
- WordPress
- The free "Astra" parent theme (install & activate first, from wordpress.org/themes/astra)

INSTALLATION
1. Install and activate the free Astra theme.
2. Upload this "meridian-broker-theme" folder to /wp-content/themes/
3. Activate "Meridian Broker Theme" from Appearance > Themes.
4. Create a page with the slug "about-us" and set its template to "About Us"
   (Page Attributes > Template) — the homepage template applies automatically.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- front-page.php   Homepage (hero, features, platforms, testimonials, lead form)
- page-about.php   About Us page template
- header.php / footer.php
- functions.php    Asset loading, inline SVG icon helper, AJAX lead-capture handler
- assets/css/main.css   Full design system (colors, type, layout, responsive)
- assets/js/main.js     Mobile nav + form submit handling

All content in this demo (company name, license numbers, testimonials) is
placeholder/sample data for illustration only — replace with your own before
using this theme for a real business.
