26 of The Best Premium WordPress Themes For Creative Businesses, Agencies and Freelancers

If you are working as a freelance designer or a creative artist, having a proper online portfolio is absolutely mandatory. Most of the time, clients not only expect you to have a website showcasing your works, but also expect that website to be impressive beyond imagination. Trust me, a client will think twice before even considering you for a project if your own website lacks a proper sense of design. Furthermore, if you are running a creative business such as a design agency, your website is not just your space on the internet; it is your identity and a testimony of your works. A good website not only attracts potential customers, but also impresses others in the community, thereby winning you both financial profit and community respect.
