What it does
Artists and photographers often need a website where the work comes first and the layout stays out of the way. This theme is designed around that idea. Its full-screen front page puts large, high-quality images in front of visitors, and parallax effects add movement as people scroll. You can present paintings, photography or multimedia artworks, and organize them into collections or exhibition pages. A blog can sit alongside the portfolio for news, process notes or show announcements.
Customization runs through the included MotoPress Visual Page Builder plugin, which lets you arrange page layouts with drag and drop instead of code. You can set accent, text and header colors to match your style, and pick typography from a broad range of Google Fonts. Post formats for galleries, images, links and videos give you different ways to share work. The design is responsive and retina-ready, and a one-click demo import recreates the demo site structure so you can start editing from a finished layout.
