Portfolios

Portfolio websites need to display work in the best possible way, and need a content management system that does not impose a layout, yet allows new projects and examples to be added easily.

Perch fits into your site design and templates allowing you, as the designer, to showcase the work in the best possible way. However it is powerful enough to manage the content in image galleries whether they are custom, use open source scripts or even commercial Flash applications such as SlideShowPro.

Solutions for your portfolio website

Manage SlideShowPro with Perch and display slideshows of photographs
Build a simple image gallery this could provide the base for many open source JavaScript gallery scripts.
A more complex Gallery App can be found in our Add-ons section, along with a solution explaining how to integrate it with the popular jQuery Fancybox plugin.

Examples of portfolio websites

These sites use Perch to manage their content. If you have built a portfolio website with Perch and would like to see it displayed here – why not post a link in the thread on the forum.

This single page portfolio site uses the Blog app and a customised image gallery template for the “Work” section.

Annie Scotland

The Annie Scotland site was designed by Matt Bee who says,

“Annie Scotland needed a portfolio site to show off her amazing wood sculpture pieces. After purchasing Perch and reading the documentation the site was content managed in no time at all. Page content, home page feature slider, and all gallery and overlay content is managed by Perch. Awesome!”
