What it does
Agencies and freelancers need a site that puts their work front and center and still feels like their own brand. Louie handles this with a clean, colorful design and a set of portfolio layouts and hover effects for displaying projects in different ways. It also works for a personal blog or a full agency website. A dark color scheme is available as an alternative style, and the layout is responsive and retina ready, so it adapts to desktops, tablets and phones.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import that loads sample content you can then replace with your own. From there, the admin interface lets you adjust the design to match your brand with no coding required. The theme is built on the Bootstrap framework, works with Visual Composer and WPBakery Page Builder, and includes premium plugins and custom shortcodes for adding extra page elements. WooCommerce support means you can also sell products or services from the same site.
