WordPress gives you the opportunity to create a portfolio easily with the help of a theme specially designed for this. By using a portfolio WordPress theme you can create and administrate a showcase of your work with little effort no matter what you do for a living. If you’re a developer or designer it is likely that you’ll create from scratch your own portfolio, designing and coding it, but if you’re a photographer, architect or anything else you will need one of these WordPress themes, free or premium, according to your budget and your needs.
AutoFocus+ is a clean and simple WordPress theme developed for photographers looking to showcase their work. A slight departure from the original verision, AutoFocus+ takes things a bit further by providing stronger markup, better browser support, and Theme options that enable you to customize various elements of the theme without ever touching code. It’s also designed on an 800px, 8 column grid which truly allows your images to shine. This new version also boasts a sharper typographic approach with a 22px baseline grid, and a Garamond/Helvetica (Times/Arial for you PC users) font stack that’s much easier to read. I’ve also ported over the back-end to Thematic, one of (if not) the strongest WordPress theming frameworks to date. That means AutoFocus+ and Thematic come together to make for a pretty slick theme that can be used for almost any type of site.
