Kurato | Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme
Kurato is a WordPress portfolio theme for artists, photographers, and motion
designers. It shows your work like a film: a reel with a timecode, a
scrubber, and a filmstrip, instead of a plain grid.
It comes with three demos, 33 home pages, and 70 sections. Every section
works in the block editor and in Elementor.
Live demos
-
Kurato Artist: an oil
painter’s portfolio, with a shop for paintings and prints. Night mode. - Kurato Photographer: a landscape photographer’s series, prints, and journal. Day mode.
-
Kurato Motion: a motion
designer’s work, services, and journal. Night mode.
A portfolio that plays like a film
The home page opens like the start of a film. A timecode runs in the header,
and a scrubber and a filmstrip move through your work.
Three demos, ready to import
An oil painter, a landscape photographer, and a motion designer. Import one
with One Click Demo Import, with its pages, projects, and shop.
33 home pages to start from
Each demo comes with eleven home pages. After the import, pick one in
Settings > Reading.
Every project opens like a film
Two project layouts: a film case study and a gallery.
70 sections, in both editors
Every section is a Gutenberg block and an Elementor widget.
Day and night, one switch
Visitors can change the mode. You choose the default in the Customizer.
A shop for prints and presets
WooCommerce pages with a slide-out cart, quick view, and a wishlist.
A menu with its own monitor
Each menu item can show a still of the page it opens. You can turn the
monitor off in the Customizer.
Mirrored for right-to-left languages
The filmstrip, the scrubber, and the timecode run the other way.
The reel fits in a pocket
Every demo adapts to small screens, from the home page to the shop.
