3. Aside

Aside is a portfolio WordPress theme that will help you to display your work in a Tumblr-style format.

This theme comes in six different varieties that you can import into your WordPress website to help you get started. Whether you want to use this theme for your portfolio, or just to share content you’ve found elsewhere or produced yourself, Aside works well for either type of project. Thanks to the various layouts, you can decide to display lots of your content on the homepage of your website, in a range of formats, or use the slideshow mode to display one item at a time, using the slider interface.

If you’d like the content you publish to take center stage on your website, this Tumblr-style WordPress theme, with its minimal design, is a good choice. Depending on which demo you use, your site could include no branding nor any of the other elements typically found on a website, such as the header, footer, or sidebar, and just focus on presenting your content in a distraction-free environment.

However, not all of the different layouts and versions of Aside take this minimal approach to web design. Some options have fixed sidebar layouts to ensure your visitors can easily find the other parts of your website. However, if you like the idea of a stripped-back user interface on your portfolio or blog, then Aside definitely has layouts for that type of project.

The last theme on the list is, OldCar, a creative and bold WordPress theme was just too captivating to not mention. I’m not going to lie; this one is my favorite!
