A minimal portfolio and blog theme for Kirby CMS. Built for Kirby 5 + PHP 8.4.
Index is built for easy updates, not elaborate structure. No menu, no case studies, no complex navigation – because in my experience, that's where people get stuck and stop updating their portfolios.
List your work. Write when you want. That's it. The templates are simple to extend if you need more later.
Built-in RSS feed for your blog. Let readers subscribe and follow your writing without any extra setup.
Automatic XML sitemap generation for search engines. Better indexing out of the box.
Under 6kb of CSS. Fast loading, easy to understand, simple to modify. No preprocessors, no frameworks, no complexity.
Pick your primary and accent color. That's it. The constraint keeps your site cohesive and makes customization trivial. Change two variables, done.
Choose one typeface that works everywhere. Swap it out in seconds. Mono, sans-serif, serif – whatever fits your style. The single-font constraint creates visual consistency without effort.
Essential SEO handled for you. Page titles, meta descriptions, breadcrumbs for navigation context. The basics done right.
No npm, no build process, no compilation step. Edit templates, refresh browser. That's it. Perfect for quick tweaks and easy deployment.
