Make your portfolio shine with these best WordPress themes for portfolios
One of the beauties of the website builder and web hosting solution that is WordPress is its customizability. With a little bit of code tweaking, you can make your site look however you like. But such power can be intimidating. Where do you start? How do you do it? How long would it take you? Thankfully, many creators have done all the hard work for you: there are a plethora of themes you can apply to your site to transform it in seconds. With that in mind, we’ve looked at five of the best WordPress portfolio-styled themes aimed at making your creative business stand out. Angle was created by WPZoom, who have a wealth of themes to choose from. Angle offers a very clean look. As with nearly all themes, this one covers everything, from a main page, to individual posts, and there are enough customization possibilities to transform it into the ideal display for your work or business. Widgets are also available for further customization. As you should expect from a modern theme, it is built to be responsive (i.e. it adapts itself to the screen it’s being viewed on – be it desktop, tablet or phone), and can manage the high “retina” resolution of modern portable devices. The theme will cost you $69 per year and includes a year of updates and support, but you also have a one-time purchase option of $159 (currently reduced from $395). Updates and support are unlimited for that option. Alternatively, it’s worth mentioning that $129 per year would get you all of WPZoom’s 37 WordPress themes. The aim of Coastline is to put your photography front and center. The main menu is composed of large thumbnails, as examples of your work for each of your categories. The sidebar is placed on the left and we really liked that it’s anchored in position: no matter how far you scroll down, it’s always there ready to take your visitor to another page on your site (of course this doesn’t apply when viewed on a phone screen, but just shows how well this theme’s responsive design is).
