What it does
Many creatives want a portfolio site that puts their work first without a long setup or a pile of shortcodes to remember. This theme keeps the design simple and modern so images and videos carry the page. Portfolio options live in the page settings, which means you choose layouts and display choices from the editor screen. The layouts are responsive, so grids and galleries adjust to different screen sizes, and retina ready graphics keep visuals sharp on high-resolution displays.
You can lay out projects in 3 or 4 column grids or a full-width masonry style, and add video portfolio items that open in popups with autoplay and captions. Header galleries come in slider, tiled and masonry styles for the top of your pages. A blog with video support sits alongside the portfolio for updates and behind-the-scenes posts. The theme works with Gutenberg and Visual Composer for building pages, and custom widgets cover Instagram, Twitter, contact info and your latest portfolio projects.
Best for
- Photographers and videographers presenting their work
- Freelance designers building a personal portfolio
- Creative agencies and studios with project galleries
