Remember WebRevolutionary? Matt Lenz, the owner, is really bringing back WebRevolutionary with a bang.
In the last post about the redesign, I mentioned one of the two WordPress themes WebRevolutionary is famous for, Sharpfolio. Well speak of the devil, because Matt has just released Sharpfolio², a redesign of the first Sharpfolio theme, which is compatible with WordPress 2.5.
“Sharpfolio is a WordPress theme designed to enable Web Designers, Graphic Designers, Photographers, Motion Designers, Artists or any creative professional to showcase their work in a simple, clean, beautiful portfolio. Sharpfolio aims to focus primarily on your work, because after all, this is what’s most important”, says Matt in his post.
If you’re looking for a sweet WordPress theme for your portfolio, make sure to try out Sharpfolio². It won’t disappoint.

Why would a web designer use this, though? Surely a web designer should design his or her own portfolio?
I think a (web) DESIGNER could use this if they can’t code and need the simple but powerful back end of WordPress. If they code & design on the other hand, he or she should create his or her own. Great theme, would use it if I didn’t have my own already and needed something quick.
@Joshua – 1) Not all Web designers know how to code. There are a lot who can design in Photoshop and such, but not code. 2) Not all Web designs (coders) know how to code for WordPress. 3) Some Web designers are lazy.
@Lewis – Exactly.
Is this blog turning into a “let’s promote other peoples blog” blog?
@Mike I think those last two points sum up me pretty well at the moment. I guess its due to me being busy most of the time
@Anon – This blog writes articles on anything having to do with WordPress. This is a WordPress theme that I personally love, so therefore I’m gonna write about it.
Guess I’m gonna use this for my website and then make my own based on it.
Definitely considering using this theme. Great find Mike.
Thanks for posting this theme! This is a great theme particularly for design professionals!
In response to whether or not web designers should or should not use this: I am both a strong front end coder and visual designer – I would manipulate the theme (save time and don’t mess with the XHTML
) via CSS and change the look all around. That way there’s still an element of YOU in that portfolio!
Again, thanks for this theme! I will consider using this in the future!
another response to why should a web designer use this is for expediency, many web designers still don’t have a portfolio site up and one may need to quickly secure a job and showcase their work, in any event a theme like this is much appreciated.
Not bad, not bad at all… I really wish there was just a way to have a gallery instead of everything in posts… But its still a great WP theme…
@Ryan,
I’m not a super expert, but can’t you use the “publish page” function to make something that is more of a gallery and doesn’t get mix up as “just blog posts” to the reader?
i like a lot the sharpfolio theme, but there´s a way to enable a section of normal posts….like blog??
I have created a Portfolio Theme powered by WordPress. It may be helpful for those who want to create his own portfolio. You can see the demo at http://demo.wpesp.com/portfolio/ or the tutorial at http://wpesp.com.
I hope it can help some of you.
