An easy-to-use plugin that helps you to show off your portfolio of websites, using automatically generated thumbnails and screenshots.
How It Works
If you’re a web designer, search engine optimiser, etc, then you probably have a collection of websites that you’ve worked on. Well WP Portfolio is designed to make it really easy to showcase your work by creating a list of websites along with descriptions and automatically generated thumbnails.
You can create a list of your websites in the admin section of WordPress. You can add a description of your site too. The plugin will then automatically create thumbnails for you in one of 3 different sizes (that you choose). You can also divide your sites up into logical groups too.
2 different ways to use it…
Option 1: – Use WP Portfolio with a free ShrinkTheWeb.com account to automatically create thumbnails for your websites directly from the URL!
Option 2: Upload your own images, and have WP Portfolio automatically resize them for you. This is ideal if you have design work that you’ve done.
How to download WP Portfolio…
You can download the WP Portfolio package directly from WordPress.org, or you can search for ‘WP Portfolio’ from inside the WordPress admin area.
