What it does
Many portfolio sites bury the work under busy design. This theme takes the opposite approach, with a minimal boxed layout that keeps attention on your projects. Portfolio items can use several post formats, including standard, lightbox image, gallery, audio, video and custom URL, so you can present photos, recordings and clips in whatever way suits each piece. A customizable featured area with post sliders, link boxes and intro widgets lets you highlight selected work right at the top.
Customization happens through the drag and drop WPBakery Page Builder and a live customizer that previews changes as you make them, so no coding is needed. The blog side offers regular, grid, masonry, list and full-width layouts, with or without sidebars, and archive and search pages have their own layout options. The design is responsive and Retina ready, sliders respond to touch gestures, and WooCommerce compatibility means you can add a shop next to your portfolio.
Best for
- Photographers presenting galleries and image portfolios
- Designers, artists and freelancers building a personal portfolio
- Creatives who want to sell products next to their work

Questions about Life
Can I show video and audio in my portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio items support audio and video post formats along with standard, lightbox image, gallery and custom URL formats. Video embeds are responsive and work in multiple aspect ratios, so clips display properly on different screen sizes.

No. The theme includes the drag and drop WPBakery Page Builder for building layouts and a live customizer that shows design changes in real time, so you can adjust your site without touching code.
Can I run a shop with this theme?
Yes. Life is compatible with WooCommerce, which lets you add an online store to your portfolio site. That suits creatives who want to sell prints, products or other items alongside the work they display.
What blog layouts are available?
You can choose regular, grid, masonry, list and full-width blog layouts, with or without sidebars. Category, tag, author and date archives, plus search results, can also use different layouts.
