What it does
Design studios need a website that lets the work speak, and many general themes bury projects under clutter or generic layouts. This theme starts from a portfolio-first structure with multiple gallery styles and project layouts, so large architectural builds and smaller interior jobs can each be presented in a format that fits. The design is modern and restrained, which keeps attention on photography and project details rather than on the theme itself.
Setup leans on pre-built pages for home, about, contact and services that you can import and then adjust. Layouts, colors and fonts can be changed through user-friendly settings and drag-and-drop tools, so no coding is required. The layout is responsive and retina ready, and a built-in blog gives you a place to publish design insights and studio updates alongside your portfolio.
Best for
- Architecture firms presenting built and concept projects
