Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi all :)

I'm currently throwing a few emails back and forth with a potential client.

She looking to build a portfolio website that consists of a homepage where she'll display 100's of products that appears with Infinite scroll.

Then each product (image) will link to a single page that goes into more detail about it.

For the products on the portfolio she wants...

Title of Product Image Description [Price] [Buy Now Button]

And she wants it displayed in 3x columns.

Anyone know of a suitable WordPress theme that can be customized? I originally suggested the Portfolio Pro theme from Genesis, but after purchasing it I'm thinking she may be better off having a custom WordPress theme designed instead.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Really appreciate your guidance.

Thanks! Kerry

Hello Kerry Russell,

The view you are asking about could be done if you just found any theme that is responsive and having the columns system, you can find one so easy, then if you have some experience with wordpress you can customize the theme the way you want using the Advance Custom Fields plugin and some others, this would give you the ability to build/create your custom views.

Actually it needs some effort understanding how you can control the views in wordpress and you can easily customize them.

And here some themes you can consider:

Hope this helped, and also you can build your own theme if you have the time.Here @TreeHouse you can find a course talking about how to build a custom wordpress theme as well as a course talking about how to build a wordpress theme using bootstrap.

Best of luck!

Thanks Omar :)

I was just looking at the custom post plugins and I've seen a couple of 3 column themes.

Going to take a look at the ones you suggested now as well.
