Your portfolio is more than just an extension of your CV, especially if you’re working in visual industries. Portfolio is a tool that showcases your best work in a way that speaks of your talent, your hard work and your expertise. But, it’s not enough to simply display your work on a page. Your online personal portfolio needs to complement your works, to give them enough room to shine and to display them in a manner that excites and inspires the viewer. Personal portfolio WordPress themes can help you with that.
The answer to this is simple - it takes a good personal portfolio WordPress theme. You might be skeptical about this, and you might think that for a good online portfolio you need to hire an expensive web designer. But you’re wrong. Our Qode Interactive WordPress theme range includes a wide range of personal portfolio WordPress themes that can help you create a website just as stunning as it would be if a web designer and a developer made it.
Fullscreen, parallax, masonry… these are just some of the layouts you can arrange your works in. Fullscreen menus that open on a burger icon are a cool solution, and so is the vertical side menu that gives the page a sense of dynamicity. These layouts also allow you to play around with the logo, make it centered, for instance, with images arranged around them. Our personal portfolio WordPress themes come with all that, and much more.
Images that represent your work don’t have to be static. And they shouldn’t! Animated and interactive sections in portfolio sliders give off a sense of innovation and style, and can really make your work stand out. For instance, fullscreen slider templates include these dynamic and engaging elements out of the box, all you need to do is customize them with your own content, and it takes no time. You can enrich your portfolio with hover effects, fullscreen or horizontal sliders, horizontal scrolling or scroll animations. For an extra kick, you can opt for one of the exciting video slider themes and really engage your visitors with video content displayed in a unique and innovative way.
A good personal portfolio doesn’t just feature the works, services, and products. It also provides a strong testimony of the author’s skill, talent and expertise. WordPress themes with info section effects can be of great help in displaying all that information in a unique, charming and engaging way. Next, a testimonial slider can be used not just to show off the positive experience your clients had with you, but also to visually break down the page, by providing a contextual relief from the saturated image section. A clients carousel does the similar job. Then, there are various ready-made (yet fully customizable) sections where you can provide biographical content, write a bit about yourself. If you work with a team, you can showcase them, too. Plus, if you’re keeping a blog, a good portfolio theme always features stylish blog pages, blog lists and category pages, too.
So, now that we’ve shown that for a great portfolio you don’t have to make a website from scratch and that all you need is a good portfolio theme, let’s figure out how to pick one.
The main factor to consider is your personal style and the type of work you do. Qode Interactive themes come in a variety of styles. There are dark styles, light or feminine ones, edgy and cyberpunk ones, minimalist and clean themes, color-rich and saturated, busy themes, and so on. So you need to pick one that meets your aesthetics.
After you’ve figured out what style you want to use, you don’t really have to figure out anything else. Well, if there’s a specific feature you need, like an interactive links showcase or a horizontal slider, you will obviously pick a theme that has that.
But, as far as Qode themes go, they’re all so feature-rich you can’t go wrong with any of them.
Now, there are some technical aspects that characterize a good WordPress personal portfolio theme.
For instance, responsiveness. This quality means that your portfolio will look and work equally well on all screen sizes, which is very important because more and more people these days access the web on their phones and tablets, not their PCs or even laptops. So you got to make sure your work is displayed seamlessly on those.
Qode Interactive themes all come with very easy one-click demo import. They require zero coding, which makes them great for complete newbies. Of course, if you know your way around code, especially CSS and HTML, you can modify things that way, too.
Then comes support. All Qode Interactive themes come with unlimited updates and rich documentation. They are all GPL-ready and come with essential SEO features.
They include flexible header and footer styles, thousands of fonts included, and many of them come with premium images included, too.
In short, Qode Interactive personal portfolio themes for WordPress come with everything you could possibly need for an exciting, modern, professional website that promotes your work in the best possible way.
