Read on for our detailed analysis of each theme

One of the beauties of the website builder and web hosting solution that is WordPress is its customizability. With a little bit of code tweaking, you can make your site look however you like. But such power can be intimidating. Where do you start? How do you do it? How long would it take you?

Thankfully, many creators have done all the hard work for you: there are a plethora of themes you can apply to your site to transform it in seconds.
With that in mind, weve looked at five of the best WordPress portfolio-styled themes aimed at making your creative business stand out. We've also highlighted the best paid and free WordPress themes Angle (Image credit: WP Zoom) 1. Angle

Grand Portfolio A nice, streamlined themlives up to its name with SEO optimization and content builder Clean Minimalist Modern

Angle was created by WPZoom, who have a wealth of themes to choose from. Angle offers a very clean look. As with nearly all themes, this one covers everything, from a main page, to individual posts, and there are enough customization possibilities to transform it into the ideal display for your work or business. Widgets are also available for further customization.

As you should expect from a modern theme, it is built to be responsive (i.e. it adapts itself to the screen its being viewed on - be it desktop, tablet or phone), and can manage the high retina resolution of modern portable devices.

The theme will cost you $69 per year and includes a year of updates and support, but you also have a one-time purchase option of $159 (currently reduced from $395). Updates and support are unlimited for that option. Alternatively, its worth mentioning that $99 per year would get you all of WPZooms 35 WordPress themes.

Create a striking looking portfolio to beautifully showcase your work Eye popping display of your photography SEO optimized Custom widgets

The aim of Coastline is to put your photography front and center. The main menu is composed of large thumbnails, as examples of your work for each of your categories. The sidebar is placed on the left and we really liked that its anchored in position: no matter how far you scroll down, its always there ready to take your visitor to another page on your site (of course this
doesnt apply when viewed on a phone screen, but just shows how well this themes responsive design is).

Coastline is currently on offer for $49 (at the moment, it's reduced to $34.3). This is a one-time fee, but should you need support and updates
beyond your first year, youll have to pay again for the privilege. A little more - $69 (at the moment, it's reduced to $48.3) - grants you access to all of CSS Igniters themes (again for a year of updates and support). If youre
the kind of person whod rather pay once for a lifetimes worth of support and updates, all their themes can be yours for $249 (at the moment, it's reduced to $174.3). You can sign up for Coastline here Elegant (Image credit: Future) 3. Elegant

A highly versatile and beautifully designed theme Customizable Versatile Elegant

If youre familiar with Themify, the designers of the Elegant theme, youll
know they include their drag & drop builder with each purchase, meaning that its incredibly easy to customize their theme to suit your exact needs, by adding and moving modules anywhere you want on the page.

Elegant is the right name for this elegant theme. It comes with its own typography, and even comes with filters that are triggered when you mouse
over your photos. These include sepia, blur and grayscale. Various layout options are offered, along with the ability to customize the header for each page.

Elegant is a very beautiful and simple theme which costs $59. This includes one year of support and updates, and the right to use it on as many sites as youd like. Themify also offer a 30-day money back guarantee, as well as a 50% discount if youre switching from another theme. You can also gain access to all of Themifys themes, for $89.

A versatile and simple looking, but visually effective theme Clean,
minimalist approach Customization widgets Expensive

Gallery Pro aims for the minimalist look, which is not a negative, we assure you. As with all modern themes, it is fully responsive and looks good on whichever screen its viewed from. Of course, just like the others, it is
fully customizable, allowing you to change its background, colors and
content. It also comes with a series of templates to help you create new pages, such as blogs and landing pages, with very little effort. You can mix and match your pages with various design elements, including full width
which, as the name suggests, lets you display a photo, taking up the entire width of the screen - or window. Various customization widgets are also part of the deal.

The only downside really is its price. Its noticeably the most expensive
theme on the list as theres no yearly subscription: $129.95 is a one-time purchase. It includes StudioPress Genesis Framework, continuous updates, and one year of support. You can sign up for Gallery Pro here Nikkon (Image credit: Kaira) 5. Nikkon

Perhaps an ideal theme to launch your photography career online Free Simple Enough features to get started

Nikkon is a simple theme, but it comes with an unbeatable advantage over the others on this list: its free. Now of course it wont have all the bells and whistles the others offer, but if youre starting out, you really cant beat free. So what do you get for your money?

Ideal for photography enthusiasts, this themes main page offers a grid-based layout, so you can display your images clearly and with ease. You can anchor
a sharing toolbar so its always available no matter how far a visitor scrolls down. The theme comes with several header styles to suit your needs, supports blogging, and also integrates with WooCommerce should you decide to sell your shots. As it stands, its ideal for starting out, and theres also a Nikkon Pro option with additional feature when youre ready to pay for them. You can sign up for Nikkon here
