What it does
Many portfolio themes pile on effects and sidebars that compete with the work they are meant to present. This theme takes the opposite approach with a minimal, uncluttered layout where images, videos and projects sit at the center of every page. Visitors can move through your work without distractions, and the design leaves plenty of room for the pieces themselves. It suits creatives who want a refined, professional look without building a design from scratch.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import, which loads sample content you can then replace with your own. From there, you can change colors, fonts and layouts to fit your style, and choose from several portfolio and gallery formats for presenting different kinds of projects. The layout is responsive, so your portfolio adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, and it is built to work across major browsers. The interface is designed to keep site management simple.
Best for
- Photographers building an online portfolio
