Wordpress users, I need recommendations for a illustrator portfolio friendly theme.

@xin-li I also use Wordpress with a theme from Theme Forest because they were quite cheap at the time and come with a bit of support, then I was able to find some answers on their forum (for more customised elements).

But I'm not sur if it is the best for Children's book portfolio. @NessIllustration 's portfolio looks so professional (might be because the art is so good!) Great to be able to add double spreads in the layout.

Thank you so much for tips and info. I am glad I asked this question here. My current squarespace plan will run out in November this year. So I have planty of time to put together a wordpress website to replace SS. I am trying out different template on SS to figure out what is the main features I want to have, and what is missing. I think when I know what I want clearly, I will try to start with a free or a an afforable WP template, and purchase a very flexible premium gallery plugin. That is my plan for now :-).

I might take a look of adobe solution. But I am leaning towards a more subscription independent solution.

Here is my current website so far.

It is pretty bear bone and more or less straight out of a SS template. I think I also need spend some time on typography and logo design to make the site look a bit more special.

Let me know if you guys have any thoughts ont eh website so far.

@marine Aww thanks! My gallery is a masonry grid display and it's included in Adobe Portfolio features, but back when I was still on Wordpress I found a free plugin that did it too Masonry grids are commonplace nowadays, not really a high ticket item anymore.

Hi @xin-li, website looks great. The simplicity allows visitors to focus on your art, which is beautiful!
