The Portfolio WordPress theme offers a way to create a professional site for your work without having it designed from scratch. The theme follows the conventions of most portfolio sites but, like all Organic Themes offerings, it is minimalist in the way it is put together and allows for heavy customization without much effort. The theme also offers several conveniences that should be of interest to anyone who wants a site where they can show off their visual work.

The Portfolio theme has a large image slider right upfront in its default layout. You can easily change the layout of the homepage from the theme options page, but the default layout is very attractive. The visual content is put in a spot where it’s sure to get noticed and you can change the images featured from the theme options page. There are two color options built into theme. The most common customizations, including the background, can be changed with a few clicks of your mouse.

Some users will want to delve deeper into the code and Organic Themes accommodates this in their designs. Their themes are built on solid code and cracking open the files and trying to find specific lines will not prove to be a frustrating experience for those so inclined. If you want very specific customizations that you cannot do yourself, you can inquire directly with Organic Themes about having them done by the company itself.

The Portfolio theme comes with the option to set your portfolio pages with different column layouts. With the automatic resizing features on this theme, it’s very easy to get your images loaded, your page customized and your site read for visitors. If you’re a good graphic designer, you can use the PSD files included with the theme. These allow you access to the site’s graphics at the source and make it easy to make the most subtle or the most significant changes to your theme.

The Portfolio theme is one that artists and others who have graphic images they need to post on the web in a professional way should take a look at. With its many different options and the ease with which they can be changed, it makes an excellent choice for those who want something professional but who like to be a bit hands on with administering and even designing their site.
