I got one fresh, small project, where I needed small portfolio site for a friend. It got me thinking and lead to research what Wordpress can offer to me, with its great CMS platform. I was a little bit surprised, because I got even better results than I expected- theres was a plenty of interesting portfolio, photo gallery themes, where homepage was static, but still you can tie together static with dynamic content and add blog as well. Maybe it’s nothing new or signifunt for most of you, but I wasn’t aware there is possible to get such theme so easily, where of course my friend could manually change it’s content without touching or learning any code knowledge.
It was commercial theme I tested, but since most of people look just for free stuff, I gave it a try and searched for free Portfolio, photo gallery type themes. Maybe results aren’t too bright, but those themes are completely free for using. Don’t worry, if you are searching for more quality and wider sortiment, I will follow up with Commercial Portfolio and Photo Gallery Wordpress Theme article in next few days!

Great article. i have been using wordpress for quite a while and have some favorites of my own; iDream, QuickChic and Dynamic Color. There more suited to sites with a few photos but they do handle photos very well.
a great way to find free themes is to use the freebies search engine which will quickly find what you are looking for (and some other stuff that you didn’t realise you were looking for!).
