Theme Details

NovaFolio is a premium Gutenberg-first WordPress theme built specifically for artists, photographers, designers, creative studios, visual brands and portfolio-driven websites.

Unlike generic multipurpose themes, NovaFolio focuses on editorial layouts, visual storytelling, portfolio presentation and long-term flexibility. Its architecture is designed to help creators build elegant, content-rich websites without relying on heavy third-party page builders.

Built around the native WordPress block editor, NovaFolio combines modern design, performance-conscious architecture, advanced media handling and deep customization capabilities to deliver professional websites that remain fast, scalable and maintainable over time.

NovaFolio ships with a companion plugin, NovaFolio Core, which handles custom post types, taxonomies, meta fields and custom Gutenberg blocks while keeping content independent from presentation.

Together, the theme and plugin provide a complete creative website framework for portfolios, artist websites, exhibitions, personal brands, agencies and small businesses.

Required companion plugin:
Download is provided via author-controlled channel after purchase verification.

NovaFolio works independently for theme presentation, while some advanced features rely on the official NovaFolio Core companion plugin. This plugin is distributed directly by the author through the official download page to ensure a clean, stable, and maintained version. An in-theme notice guides users to install the companion plugin when needed.
