What it does
Interior designers and architects sell their work through images, so their websites need room for large, sharp photos and an easy way for visitors to browse projects. This theme focuses on that job. It comes with a choice of homepage and portfolio layouts, galleries with filtering and hover effects, and Retina support so high-resolution project photos display in clear detail. The design is clean and modern, which keeps attention on the work itself.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import that loads ready-made content you can then replace with your own. From there you can adjust pages with a drag and drop builder such as Elementor, and change color schemes and typography to match your brand. The layout is responsive, so it adapts to phones and tablets. Built-in blog layouts give you a place to post project updates, design insights or industry news alongside your portfolio.
Best for
- Interior design studios presenting completed projects
- Architecture firms needing a portfolio-focused website
- Freelance designers building a site without coding
