Rhye - Creative Portfolio Elementor Pro Template Kit

Rhye is a high-end, premium Elementor Pro Template Kit designed for creative agencies, photographers, and elite designers who want a sophisticated "dark-mode" or minimalist aesthetic. Created by ArtemSemkin, it is renowned for its silky-smooth motion effects and advanced parallax transitions.

In late 2025, Rhye is a top-tier recommendation for those who want their portfolio to feel like a custom-coded WebGL experience without writing a single line of code.

## Creative & Visual Features

Rhye focuses on "Sensory Design"—the idea that the way a site moves is just as important as the content it holds.

15+ Fully Responsive Templates: Includes diverse layouts like Homepage Slider, Homepage Background (Static), 4 unique Project Detail styles, Services, and Contact pages.

Silky Smooth Motion Effects: Features advanced parallax backgrounds, on-scroll typography reveals, and cursor followers that react to user movement.

Multi-Format Portfolio: Offers diverse project layouts—ranging from full-screen immersive galleries to structured grids—to showcase different types of creative work.

Fluid Typography: Uses modern scaling logic to ensure that large, bold headings look just as striking on a mobile device as they do on a 4K monitor.

True Drag-and-Drop: Every motion effect and layout transition is controlled directly within the Elementor interface.

### Technical Dependencies

Important: Rhye is a Template Kit, not a theme. Because it uses advanced "Theme Builder" features, it has strict requirements to look exactly like the demo.

Component

Requirement

Page Builder

Elementor Pro (Required for Header, Footer, and Project Archive parts).

Base Theme

Hello Elementor (Free, lightweight, and required for the demo styles).

PHP Version

PHP 7.4 or later (8.x is highly recommended for performance).

Memory Limit

Minimum 256MB; 512MB+ recommended to handle the high-end animations.

Import Tool

Envato Elements Plugin (The safest way to import the .zip file).

## Rhye vs. Sixten vs. Areia

If you are deciding between premium portfolio kits for your creative business:

Rhye: Best for Agency Impact. It is the most "motion-heavy" and premium-feeling kit, perfect for high-ticket design studios. (The Cinematic Specialist)

Sixten: Best for Minimalist Designers. It is cleaner and uses fewer animations, focusing on high-contrast black-and-white grids. (The Minimalist Choice)

Areia: Best for Photography Portfolios. It features more specialized gallery layouts and lightbox effects specifically for high-resolution photo display. (The Photographer’s Choice)

### Key Advantage: The "Custom" Feel

What separates Rhye from other kits is its AJAX-like feel. While most WordPress sites feel like separate pages loading one after another, Rhye’s use of motion makes the transitions feel fluid and continuous, mimicking the behavior of high-budget custom sites built with GSAP or WebGL.

### Installation Note: The Orange Banner

A common mistake when installing Rhye is ignoring the "Install Requirements" step.

After uploading the zip via the Envato Elements plugin, look for the orange banner at the top of the kit screen.

Click "Install Requirements." This automatically downloads the specific free plugins (like Skyboot Icons) needed to render the kit correctly.

Import Global Kit Styles before importing any pages to ensure your fonts and colors match the demo perfectly.
