Koncept - Responsive Multi-Concept Wordpress Theme 1.1

Koncept (often stylized as KON/CEPT) is a highly-regarded, minimalist portfolio theme designed specifically for creative professionals, agencies, and photographers. Developed by KrownThemes (Ruben Bristian), it gained fame for its unique modular grid system and was even an Awwwards Nominee for its clean, innovative design.

As of late 2025, it remains a favorite for those who want a "gallery-first" website that avoids the cluttered look of standard business themes.

## Core Design Philosophy

Modular Grid System: The heart of Koncept is its masonry-style grid. Unlike rigid grids, it allows you to mix different thumbnail sizes (Small, Wide, Tall, Large) to create a visual hierarchy for your best work.

Minimalist Aesthetics: It uses a high amount of white space and crisp typography to ensure that your portfolio pieces—not the website UI—are the main focus.

Ajax-Powered Browsing: It features smooth page transitions and infinite loading, allowing visitors to browse projects without the jarring experience of full page reloads.

WooCommerce Integration: While primarily a portfolio theme, it includes a beautifully styled shop module, perfect for artists selling prints or digital assets.
