Use either a boxed or fullscreen layout, showcase your portfolio and blog about anything you want.
Weston
When it comes to a website, content matters; but multimedia matters too. With WordPress photography themes like Weston, users can organize their content and images into a grid-like display that is easy to navigate. It carries a minimal design that brings forth a clean and classic look that will impress visitors. WordPress photography themes like Weston are fully supported. Users gain access to a year’s work of assistance not to mention regular updates, both of which can be extended based on the user’s preference.
Portfolios are easy to create, as multiple layouts are available. Also, it is possible to create multiple tabs on the homepage ensuring that all content will be in their right place. Armed with the Visual Composer, users can alter the parent theme to suit their purpose and reflect their brand much better. Video backgrounds, image displays, content buckets, and text boxes can all be arranged as per the user’s liking. As a bonus, WordPress photography themes like Weston also come with the Slider Revolution component which can be used to create stunning slideshows with ease. Lastly, this theme is highly responsive. Regardless of the device or browser used by visitors, the page will automatically convert its display to suit the formers’ display and resolution requirements.

Responsiveness almost goes without saying these days and since Ultra is perfectly fluid in every one of those layouts, it will make your content look fantastic on all devices.

This theme offers several premade templates to show off your content, the default layout as well as blog and archives pages, each one looks fantastic. Widgetized areas are, in my opinion, the best way to add features and this Showcase Pro theme has tons of them.
