Portfolio Noir
A bold dark portfolio theme built for creative professionals. Full-screen project reveals, smooth CSS transitions, and a monochromatic palette that makes your work the only colour on the page.

About this Theme
Portfolio Noir is for the creatives who don’t want their portfolio to look like every other portfolio. The dark palette is not a gimmick — it creates a gallery-like environment where images and motion take centre stage. Your work becomes the only colour on the page.
Who is it for? Brand designers, art directors, photographers, motion designers, and creative directors who work with visually striking projects and want an equally striking showcase.
Restraint as a design choice. Every element that could be decorative was removed unless it directly served the work. The result is a theme that feels expensive without being loud — the kind of site that makes clients say “I want something like this.”
Password-protected projects. Some of your best work is under NDA. Portfolio Noir includes a simple password gate per project — no server required, just a config key. The project card appears in the grid but blurs until the visitor enters the correct code.
After purchase you receive the full theme, a video walkthrough, a collection of sample project structures, and six months of priority email support.
