In today’s age, you have social media to promote your service to your aspiring clients. However, it’s not enough. You need a website to strengthen your branding. A website allows you to add more promotional materials. You can display your resume, show off your portfolio, and so on. Elementor allows you to create a website in a matter of hours (even minutes in some cases). You don’t need to start everything from scratch. Instead, you can use an Elementor template kit. If you are looking to create a portfolio website with Elementor, we have curated some template kits to ease your job.
What is an Elementor template kit?
An Elementor template kit is a set of Elementor templates designed for a specific website type. A template kit can contain four to eight templates. They are created based on the same design system to make sure every element on each page has the same styling. Elementor itself has a feature called Kit Library in which you can find and install a template kit offered by Elementor. You can also find a template kit from websites like ThemeForest and TemplateMonster. With so many options out there, finding a suited template kit is a bit challenging, though. Again, we have curated some Elementor template kits to create a portfolio website. Here is the list.
Curated Elementor Template Kits for Portfolio Website
1. CV Portfolio
CV Portfolio is an elegant template kit with no-scroll concept. All pages on the CV Portfolio template kit are set to fit to screen. No need to make a scroll to view the content of each page. On each page, you have two navigation buttons to make it easy to go to the previous and the next page. There is also a navigation menu on its header to navigate to pages. CV Portfolio is a great template kit for freelancer, regardless of the field you serve. The kit uses a dark green as its base color (hex code: #0F363D).
The CV Portfolio template kit itself is available on the Kit Library of Elementor. However, you need to subscribe to the Expert plan (or the higher plan) to import it.

On the home page, there is a “portfolio” section to show off the projects you have finished. The mouse effect applied to the hero section of the home page looks very proportional.
