HTML Portfolio Templates: 10 Picks for Résumés, Case Studies and Galleries
By Manob Editorial · · Updated
An HTML portfolio template is a folder of static HTML, CSS and JavaScript files with the intro, projects and contact sections already laid out. You edit the files and upload them to any host. Of the 10 we compared on Manob, Martin and Naven suit one-page résumés, Nilos has 5+ CV homepages, Themeparker adds a blog, Vertiqo has five portfolio layouts and Lumiere is built for photographers.
What we compared
All 10 picks are plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript files. WordPress themes, React builds and Figma files are in our portfolio website templates roundup, and the HTML5 templates hub covers other industries. The picks are grouped by what you want to show: a résumé, case studies and writing, or photos. One Elementor kit at the end is for people who'd rather not touch code.
Several listings are short on detail, so each pick sticks to what its listing states and notes any gaps. Still deciding between static files and a CMS? Read HTML templates vs WordPress themes first.

Résumé and personal portfolio templates

Prefer drag and drop? An Elementor kit
If you'd rather not edit HTML, an Elementor template kit gives you ready-made portfolio pages to import into WordPress and edit visually.

How to choose an HTML portfolio template
| Template | Layout | Framework (per listing) | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martin | One page, light and dark homes | Bootstrap 5 | SCSS files included; demo images not included |
| Naven | One page | Bootstrap 4 | RTL version; working Ajax contact form |
| Maren | Expertise, projects and testimonials sections | Not stated | Images included |
| Themeparker | 22 pages, 7 home layouts | Bootstrap 5.3.1, jQuery 3.7.1 | Blog with 6 post formats; résumé page |
| Vertiqo | 18+ pages, 3 homepages | Bootstrap 5 | 5 portfolio layouts; no build step |
| Redias | 2 homepages, blog pages | Bootstrap 5 | Working Ajax contact and quote form |
| Lumiere | One page | Bootstrap 4, jQuery | Category filter; pricing cards |
| Foxden | One page | Bootstrap 4 | Filter and lightbox; demo images not included |
| Warrior | 5+ demos, 22+ other pages | Not stated | Commented code |
- Count your projects. Three to six projects and a short bio fit on one page. Case studies or regular posts need one of the multi-page picks.
- Plan the contact form. A static page can't send email by itself. Naven and Redias list working Ajax forms, so check their docs for what the form needs from your host. For the others, connect a form service or a script on your host.
- Bootstrap 4 or 5. Bootstrap 5 renamed some classes and data attributes, so copy any new components from the docs for your template's version.
- Open a project in the demo. Click into one project and see whether there's room for the brief, your role and the result. Our guide to previewing a template before you buy lists more checks.
How to edit and publish an HTML portfolio
- Keep the original zip, then pick one homepage version and delete the files you won't use.
- Replace the demo text, page titles and meta descriptions in every HTML file. Search the folder for the demo's name so none is left behind.
- Swap in your own images at the demo's sizes, compressed, since big files slow phones down.
- Change colors and fonts in one place: the SCSS variables if the template ships SCSS (Martin does), or the main CSS file.
- Connect the contact form and send yourself a test message from your phone.
- Upload the folder to a static host or your web hosting, with index.html at the top level, and connect your domain.

Regular or Extended License?
A Regular License covers one end product whose end users aren't charged, which is what your own portfolio is. If you build portfolio sites for clients, each site is its own end product and needs its own license. The Extended License is for an end product whose end users are charged. Every purchase includes 6 months of seller support through Manob's built-in ticket system, and you can extend it. Every item can be previewed before you buy, and every product is manually reviewed before it's approved. Our Regular vs Extended License guide has examples.
When to look elsewhere
- You want it free. Free HTML portfolio templates exist; read the license first, since some require a credit link. On WordPress, WordPress.org's free themes include portfolio designs, as of October 2026.
- Your code is the portfolio. If you're applying for front-end jobs, a React or Next.js project you built yourself shows more of your skills. Our React templates and Next.js templates roundups have starting points.
- You'll add work every week. Editing HTML for each new project gets old fast. A WordPress theme gives you a dashboard; see our personal portfolio WordPress themes.
- You want far more designs. ThemeForest's bigger range of HTML portfolio templates is worth a search, as of October 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is an HTML portfolio template?
It's a set of static HTML, CSS and JavaScript files laid out as a portfolio site, with sections for your intro, projects and contact details. You replace the demo content in a code editor and upload the files to a web host.
Are there free HTML portfolio templates?
Yes, but check each license, since some require a credit link. The templates in this roundup are paid, and each purchase includes 6 months of seller support.
Can I make a portfolio with only HTML and CSS?
Yes. HTML and CSS handle the layout and content, and the JavaScript in these templates mostly runs sliders, filters and lightboxes. The contact form is the one part that needs a script or a form service to send email.
Do I need to know how to code?
Basic HTML is enough to change text, links and images. If you'd rather not touch code, an Elementor kit such as Sajeya lets you edit pages by drag and drop in WordPress.
Where can I host an HTML portfolio?
Any static host or ordinary web hosting can serve it, because there's no database. Upload the folder with index.html at the top level, then connect your domain.
Which HTML template is best for a developer portfolio?
Martin and Naven are quick one-page résumé sites. If you have case studies to show, Vertiqo's five portfolio layouts and 18+ pages give you more room.
