What it does
Many portfolio themes crowd photos with sidebars, heavy decoration and busy menus. This theme takes the opposite approach. Its clean, minimal design keeps attention on your work, and you can switch between a dark skin and a light skin in the WordPress Customizer to match the mood of your images. A masonry layout arranges photos of different sizes in a Pinterest-style grid without awkward cropping, so galleries keep their natural proportions.
Portfolio galleries are built with the Jetpack plugin, which gives you control over columns, categories and the information shown for each project. On phones and tablets, a compact hamburger menu and project-switching buttons keep browsing simple, and the srcset attribute serves an image resolution suited to each device and pixel density. It is a native WordPress theme with no proprietary framework, and WooCommerce support lets you sell prints or photography services from the same site.
Best for
- Photographers building an online portfolio
- Illustrators, designers and artists presenting visual projects
