Starting point

Modern Portfolio Website Template

A portfolio in the Modern theme: the work sits right under the headline, in a gallery on Home and on a page of its own, set in Inter on a white ground with a cool indigo accent.

The Modern portfolio website template at desktop width: the site name and a menu of Home, Work, About and Contact, a centred headline over two buttons and three figures, and the first photographs of its recent work below it.
The first screen of Home at desktop width, drawn by the renderer that publishes your site. Walk every page, on a desktop or a phone, in the live preview below.

About this starting point

Modern, composed onto a portfolio.

What it is for

It is for somebody whose work is the argument: a designer, a photographer, an architect or a studio. Home leads with a centred headline and goes straight to a gallery of recent work, then a strip of client names, three client quotes and a call to action. Work holds six projects with a caption each, one client in their own words and the three steps from first call to delivery. Modern keeps out of the pictures' way, with a white ground, one accent and soft corners, so a photograph or a product shot is what the eye lands on.

Named as the editor names them. Every page also carries the shared header and footer.

Modern

Modern is the plainest of the eleven and the easiest to make your own. Inter carries both the headings and the body, the ground is white, the accent is a cool indigo you can swap in the theme panel, and corners and shadows are soft without being rounded. Nothing in it argues with a photograph or a product shot, which is why it suits a business site that has to explain itself quickly and a portfolio that wants the work to do the talking.

The theme brings its own hero, header, rhythm, palette and type; it is one of 8 hero compositions across the eleven themes, not a recolour of a single layout.

Portfolio

Showcase your work. A portfolio starts with 4 pages: Home, Work, About and Contact. Every one is a freeform canvas: move, resize or delete anything on it.

Customise opens the wizard with this kind of site and this theme already marked. You still name the site and choose its apps, and you can change either pick there.
