Collection
Free Portfolio Website Templates
A good portfolio template gets out of the way of the work. This collection covers the main approaches: an online CV with a fixed sidebar, personal pages that lead with a photo and a short bio, grids of project thumbnails that open in modals or lightboxes, and agency-style layouts for people who sell a service as well as a body of work.
It pulls from both the Portfolio category and the agency and showcase templates that work well as a personal site. Every design is free and open source. Use the live preview to see how the project grid collapses on mobile, then download the Markdown blueprint with your own name and brand colour filled in.

FAQ
Questions about portfolio website templates
Which portfolio template is best for photographers?
Strata and Big Picture. Strata has a lightbox grid of recent work beside a profile header; Big Picture uses full-screen image panels and a gallery.
Is there a resume or CV template?
Yes. Resume from Start Bootstrap is a single-page CV with sections for experience, education, skills, interests and awards, plus a fixed sidebar nav.
Can I host a portfolio template for free?
These are static HTML, so they run on any static host such as GitHub Pages, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages without a server.
