About this theme

Folio is made for freelancers who sell their own skill: designers, developers, photographers, consultants and coaches. It gives you a clear home page with your portrait, your best work and the services you offer, in a calm grey look with one bold accent colour.

The home page is built from sections you can reorder or switch off: hero with portrait, client logos, recent work, services, promises, agenda, questions, blog, a closing call to action, your studio with opening hours and a newsletter sign-up. Sections without content hide themselves, so a new site never shows empty boxes.

Are you also selling something? Turn on the webshop and Folio adds a product row to the home page, plus search, account and cart in the header, and styled product and category pages. Without a webshop the header stays quiet.

Every colour, the corner radius and the page width are settings you control. Pill buttons with a round arrow, hand-drawn underlines in headings, round ticks and accordions give the theme its own character, and every page-builder element and the cookie bar follow the same look.
