Buruhan | A Portfolio Theme for Freelancers and Agencies 1.8

Buruhan is a minimalist, high-impact WordPress theme specifically designed for creative freelancers, designers, and agencies who want their work to be the primary focus. It is known for its clean typography, dark/light mode support, and smooth transitions.

When you pair a high-end portfolio theme like Buruhan with a powerhouse plugin like Envira Gallery, you create a professional-grade showcase that is both beautiful and technically optimized.

✨ Why Buruhan is Ideal for Portfolios

Buruhan focuses on "Visual Storytelling." Its core strengths include:

Minimalist Aesthetic: It removes "clutter," ensuring that the visitor's eye goes straight to your project images.

Interactive Hover Effects: Modern animations that make browsing a freelancer's portfolio feel premium.

Advanced Grid System: Supports varied layouts that work well for multi-disciplinary agencies (Graphic Design, Branding, Photography).

Dark & Light Mode: A critical feature for modern creative portfolios, allowing users to toggle the vibe of the site.

🖼️ Elevating Buruhan with Envira Gallery

While Buruhan handles the "frame" of your website, Envira Gallery handles the "engine" behind your images. Here is why freelancers and agencies use them together:

1. Dynamic Masonry Layouts

Buruhan’s built-in galleries are great, but Envira’s Masonry Addon allows for more complex "Pinterest-style" grids. This is perfect for agencies with projects of varying aspect ratios (e.g., a vertical mobile app design next to a horizontal billboard mock-up).

2. Client Proofing (The Agency Game-Changer)

If you are a freelancer using Buruhan, you can use Envira’s Proofing Addon to:

Create a private gallery for a client.

Let the client "star" or "comment" on the designs they like.

Automate the feedback loop directly within your WordPress dashboard.

3. Video Integration

Many modern agencies produce video content. Envira allows you to mix YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted videos directly into your image galleries, which integrates perfectly with Buruhan’s cinematic layout.

4. SEO & Speed

Portfolio sites often fail because of huge image file sizes. Envira Gallery’s image compression and lazy loading ensure your Buruhan site loads instantly, which is vital for SEO and keeping potential clients on your page.

🚀 Pro-Tip for Agencies

If you are using Buruhan to attract high-ticket clients, enable the Deeplinking Addon in Envira Gallery.

The Benefit: This gives every single project in your gallery a unique URL. If a client wants to share a specific piece of your work with their team, they can send a link that opens the exact image in the lightbox automatically.
