Kotlis is a premium WordPress theme designed by webRedox, specifically crafted for photographers, visual artists, and creative agencies. It is celebrated for its immersive, image-first design that uses full-screen layouts and smooth AJAX transitions to create a cinematic browsing experience.
Kotlis focuses on providing a high-impact "first impression" through a variety of gallery and slider styles:
7 Unique Homepage Variants: Includes specialized layouts such as Half Slider, Multi-Slideshow, Fullscreen Image, Carousel, and Video Background (YouTube, Vimeo, or MP4).
Horizontal & Vertical Galleries: Unlike many themes that restrict you to a standard vertical scroll, Kotlis offers elegant horizontal scrolling galleries that mimic a physical portfolio book.
Light & Dark Modes: The theme comes with dedicated light and dark skins that can be toggled to match the mood of your photography.
Portfolio Single Styles: Offers 4+ different layouts for individual project pages, allowing you to choose how to best tell the story behind your images.
AJAX Page Transitions: This technology allows users to navigate between pages without the screen "flickering" or reloading entirely, maintaining a seamless visual flow.
As of early 2026, Kotlis has been updated to support the latest web performance standards:

Immersive Visuals: The use of full-screen backgrounds and parallax effects ensures that your high-resolution photos are always the focal point of the site.
Touch & Swipe Support: The galleries are natively optimized for mobile and tablet users, allowing them to swipe through your portfolio naturally.
Social Integration: Includes built-in feeds for Instagram and Twitter, helping you link your live social media activity directly to your professional portfolio.
Lead Generation: Features a stylized Contact Form 7 integration and MailChimp subscription forms to help you convert casual viewers into clients.
Expert Tip: Because Kotlis relies heavily on full-screen high-resolution imagery, it is essential to use an image optimization plugin (like Smush or ShortPixel) and a fast hosting provider to ensure your site remains "blazing fast" for visitors on slower connections.
