When I started freelancing almost two years ago I knew absolutely nothing about WordPress.  When the time came to put my design work online, I had no clue where it should go. For a while I organized files in an Elance portfolio, but that was a complicated and ugly mess, especially back then. After that I moved on to CarbonMade.com. It has a great design and slick interface, but it’s limited and it’s not free (as in beer or speech). CarbonMade always felt “good enough” but was never what I really wanted.

Thank God I learned a little more about WordPress!

While WordPress’ project management capabilities are still developing and its contact management is adequate, creating and managing a portfolio is where WordPress really shines! There are almost too many portfolio themes to count and new ones are being developed all the time. Here are a few of the best portfolio themes for WordPress.
