What it does
A portfolio or agency site needs to put the work first, and that is the job this theme is built around. Its minimal design keeps layouts uncluttered so photography, design projects and service descriptions get the attention. The layout is responsive, adjusting to desktops, tablets and phones, and the graphics are retina ready so images stay sharp on high-resolution screens. It is also built to display consistently across the major web browsers.
You start from ready-made layouts for portfolio pages, service pages, about pages and more, then adjust them with the drag-and-drop page builder and the layout options. That approach suits beginners as well as people who are comfortable with WordPress, since changes to structure and style happen visually. The theme works with common plugins such as WooCommerce and Contact Form 7, so you can add a shop or contact forms, and it comes with documentation covering setup and use.
Best for
