Design & Layout Review

Colors

Patterns Photography uses a neutral color palette that highlights images. This is great for photography or ceramic portfolios because it keeps the focus on visual content. The WordPress Customizer lets you change accent colors, background colors, and text colors, which means you can match it to your ceramic brand (like soft earth tones).

Why?

Patterns Photography gets four stars because it’s excellent for showcasing visuals — perfect for photography and ceramics portfolios. The gallery and grid layouts are clean and professional. It also offers good customization without plugins. My only critique is that some advanced layout controls are limited in the free version. If you want more elaborate page options, you might need a premium extension. Still, for a free theme, it’s very strong and visually appealing.
