What it does
Creative professionals often need a site that puts their projects first and stays easy to update. Asli handles this by pairing Elementor's drag-and-drop editing with AJAX-loaded portfolio items, so visitors can move between projects without waiting for a full page refresh. You can change layouts, colors and content in Elementor without writing code, which keeps the site manageable for people who would rather spend their time on the work itself.
The theme offers grid, masonry and slider portfolio layouts, so you can match the presentation to the kind of work you make. CSS animations add transitions and hover effects, and the hero section supports a background video with an overlay and heading reveal animation that plays after a loading screen. The design is responsive and retina ready, and typography and color options let you bring the look in line with your personal brand.
Best for
- Freelance designers presenting client projects
- Photographers and artists building an online portfolio
- Creative studios that edit their sites in Elementor

Questions about Asli
Do I need to know how to code to customize Asli?
No. The theme is built for Elementor, so you can change layouts, colors and content through its drag-and-drop interface. Typography and color options are also available, which lets you adjust the look of the site without editing code.
What portfolio layouts are included?
You can display your work in grid, masonry or slider layouts. This gives you options for different kinds of projects, such as a tidy grid for design work or a masonry layout for images of varied sizes.
What does the AJAX part of the theme actually do?
AJAX lets portfolio items load without a full page refresh. When a visitor opens or moves between projects, the content appears in place, which keeps browsing through your work smooth and uninterrupted.
Can I use a video in the header area?
Yes. The hero section supports a background video with an overlay and a heading reveal animation. The video starts fresh once the loading screen disappears, so the opening of your homepage plays as intended.
Is Asli free?
The code of Asli is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Asli is this?

How do I update Asli?
