What it does
A standard portfolio site can feel like every other one out there. This theme takes a different approach by presenting your profile as a folded paper card that opens with a 3D effect built on HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery. Visitors start on a cover page and move into three inner pages, each with custom styled scrollbars. That structure works well for a short professional profile: who you are, what you have done, what you can do and how to reach you.
Your work sits in a filtered AJAX portfolio, and a custom lightbox opens images, videos and audio files. Portfolio items animate in and out using more than 50 predefined styles and CSS3 effects. The layout is responsive and retina ready, and it falls back to a classic layout on IE11 while modern browsers get the full folded effect. You adjust the look through a custom settings panel and the native WordPress Customizer, with documentation included to guide setup.
Best for
- Freelancers who want an online resume and contact card
- Designers and developers presenting a compact portfolio
- Musicians or video creators sharing audio and video samples
Features
3D folded paper layout
Your site appears as a folded paper card that opens with a 3D effect, built with HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery to mimic a real printed card.
Cover page plus three pages
The theme includes four specially styled pages, a cover page and three inner pages, each with custom styled scrollbars for scrolling through longer content.
Filtered AJAX portfolio
Visitors can filter your portfolio items by category without reloading the page, which keeps browsing quick inside the compact card layout.
Lightbox for images, video and audio
A custom lightbox displays portfolio media, supporting image files as well as video and audio, so musicians, filmmakers and designers can all present their work.
Over 50 styles and CSS3 effects
More than 50 predefined styles and CSS3 effects let you match your personal brand and animate portfolio items with in and out transitions.
Responsive and retina ready
The layout adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, and graphics stay sharp on high resolution screens.
Classic fallback for IE11
Modern browsers show the full 3D design, while IE11 visitors get a classic layout so the content still displays properly.
Settings panel and Customizer
A custom settings panel and WordPress Customizer support let you change the look and feel of your vCard without writing code.
