Portfolio page
A portfolio shows the work. The layout should get out of its way, and every item should lead somewhere useful.
Grid options
- Even grid: same-size tiles, calm and easy to scan. Best when images have consistent ratios.
- Masonry: tiles keep their natural height. Good for mixed photography; the Pro Gallery and Portfolio widgets support it.
- Featured + grid: one large recent project above a smaller grid.
Filters
The Pro Portfolio and Gallery widgets can show a filter bar by category or tag. Keep to three to six categories that clients actually think in ("Kitchens", "Bathrooms") rather than internal labels.
Lightbox or case study?
A lightbox (enlarged image) is enough for photographers and illustrators. For services, link each item to a short case study: the brief, what you did, the result, a quote. See the project block.
Keep it fast
Portfolios are the heaviest pages on most sites. Upload images at roughly twice their displayed width and no more, use WebP where your setup allows, and keep lazy loading on. A grid of 30 full-size 5 MB photos will be slow on any host.
