What it does
A portfolio site has one main job: present your projects clearly and in a style that matches your brand. This theme gives photographers, designers, artists and creative agencies a set of ready layouts to start from. You can pick from six homepage examples, each with its own way of presenting portfolio work, then use the single project layouts to show the details of individual pieces. The design leans bold and polished, which suits work that benefits from strong visual framing.
Day-to-day customization happens in the theme options panel, where you can change colors, fonts and layouts without writing code. The theme works with Visual Composer for drag-and-drop page building and is built on the Bootstrap framework, which developers will find familiar. If you also want to write about your process or share news, two blog layouts are included: masonry and list. The design is responsive and retina ready, so it adapts to desktop and mobile screens, including high-resolution displays.
