How to choose a portfolio theme

Think about how you present work. Grid-first portfolios that let thumbnails do the talking suit designers and photographers: Dexfolio and Livvic. Story-led portfolios with long case studies suit product designers and agencies: Miles, with its many portfolio, service, and about layouts. Developers who want a sleek one-page presentation should look at Palun, a ReactJS template.

Keep it fast. A portfolio is judged in seconds, and every theme here is static and lightweight, so images load quickly and pages feel instant on mobile.

What to put on your portfolio

Five to eight of your strongest projects, each with the problem, your role, and the result. A short, human about section. Clear contact details or a form. That’s enough to win the next client.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good portfolio theme?

Large, fast-loading visuals, clear project pages, an about section that shows who you are, and an obvious way to get in touch. Everything else should stay out of the way of the work.

Should I pick a Jekyll or React portfolio template?

Choose Jekyll if you want to write content in Markdown and host for free on GitHub Pages. Choose React (Palun or Deneb React) if you already work in React and want to extend the site with components.

Can I add case studies to these themes?

Yes. Dexfolio, Miles, and Livvic include project or portfolio pages, and in Jekyll each case study is a Markdown file, so adding new work takes minutes.

Are these portfolio themes good for photographers?

Dexfolio was designed with photography and interior studios in mind, and its image-led layouts suit visual work. Optimize your photos before uploading for the best speed.

Can I use a portfolio theme for client work?

Yes. Each license covers one website, so buy one license per client site.
