The great thing about WordPress is that while it is a fantastic platform for all sorts of different blogs, it is also suitable for a range of other kinds of websites too. By using some design tweaks and specialized WordPress plug-ins, your website can be just about anything you want, from an e-commerce store to an official company website. It can also be a photo portfolio.

To do that, you might want to consider the free BirdSITE WordPress theme, designed by sysbird. This theme caters to photographers, digital artists, and other professionals focused on the visual arts. Instead of running a largely text-based site, you want to show off your various images. This is good for both photoblogging and as an online portfolio.

The layout consists of the main header image with simple navigation, below which you’ll find the main content area. This is laid out as a grid for your images, providing space for small captions and short descriptions as needed. The footer area then contains the information that you may normally find in the sidebar of other blogs, including categories, archives, and so on. Each image is essentially its own post, so you can allow for comments too.
