What it does
Many portfolio sites end up crowded, with design elements competing with the work itself. This theme takes the opposite approach. Its classic, minimal layout keeps your images, videos and writing in front, which suits photographers, designers, artists and developers who want visitors to focus on what they made. You can adjust layouts, fonts and colors through the live Customizer and see each change as you make it, so matching the site to your brand stays simple.
For page building, the theme works with WPBakery Page Builder, letting you arrange pages with drag and drop tools and no coding. It is also WooCommerce compatible, so you can add a shop alongside your portfolio. Content options are broad: post formats include Standard, Lightbox Image, Lightbox Gallery, Audio, Video and Custom URL, and the blog can display in Regular, Grid, Masonry or List layouts. A featured area with a post slider, link boxes and intro widgets sits at the top for highlighting chosen content.
Best for
