Akkhor – Personal Portfolio Website Templates for Developers

Akkhor is one of the personal portfolio website templates built for people who write code for a living. It opens dark, types a terminal intro on the first screen and lets visitors jump to any page with a Ctrl + K shortcut. The theme runs on WordPress, so you edit everything from the dashboard and keep full control of your own site.

It is made for web and app developers, DevOps engineers and technical freelancers. A client who lands on your site can see your projects, your tools, your prices and a contact form that asks useful questions. There is no shop inside Akkhor. It is a personal website, and its job is to bring you enquiries.

Who can use Akkhor

The demo shows a full-stack freelancer, but the layout does not belong to one profession. Anyone who sells technical skills by the hour, by the project or by the month can use it.

• Freelance full-stack, front-end and back-end developers
• Mobile app builders for Android and iOS
• DevOps, cloud and security engineers who take contract work
• WordPress and Laravel developers with a list of finished projects
• Small technical consultants who want one site for services, prices and enquiries
• Developers looking for a job, who need a place to show case studies and a tech stack

The demo uses a sample developer with sample projects. Replace the names, pictures and text with your own.

What to prepare before you start

Good developer portfolio website templates still need good content. Gather these items first and the setup goes quickly.

• A short headline that says what you build and for whom
• Three to six terminal lines that describe how you work
• Your tech stack, grouped by area such as front end, back end, data and DevOps
• Two or more finished projects, each with a client, a year, a result and a live link
• Your hourly rate, fixed price and monthly retainer, even as a starting figure
• A photo, a short story and a few client quotes
• Your email address and a booking link

You do not need all of it on day one. Hide the blocks you are not ready for and switch them on later.

Light on the page

Many personal portfolio website templates arrive heavy, with sliders and animation libraries you never asked for. A portfolio should load quickly, because clients judge a developer by small things like this. Akkhor keeps the front end plain. The visitor-facing script is written without jQuery, and the theme loads its own stylesheet and script files rather than a stack of extra libraries. Choose fonts that fit and you add only what you use.

Front-end features of these personal portfolio website templates

Dark by default, light on request

• The site loads in dark mode.
• A switch in the header turns on the light look.
• Five colour palettes: Terminal mint, Electric blue, Synthwave, Amber and Ruby.
• Every palette can be adjusted colour by colour.

Header and the Ctrl + K command palette

• A rounded header with a code-style name logo.
• An "Open to freelance work" status line you can edit.
• A "Jump to Ctrl + K" button and a "Hire me" button.
• A command palette that opens with Ctrl + K or Cmd + K.
• Visitors type a few letters and jump to a page, a section or a project.

Terminal intro

The hero shows a headline with a blinking highlighted word next to a terminal window. The commands and their output are lines you write yourself, and on the page they type out one by one. Below the headline you get stack chips, a few key numbers and a moving line of technologies.

13 homepage blocks

The homepage has 13 blocks. Switch any block off or drag it to a new place. On a phone, arrow buttons do the moving.

• Intro: headline, terminal, stack chips and numbers.
• Client logos: a row of companies you have worked with.
• Projects: cards with type filters.
• Tech stack: a table that groups your tools by area.
• Services: four offers, each with a price and deliverables.
• Process: four steps with timing.
• About: your photo, story, skill bars, tools and a contribution activity grid.
• Pricing: hourly, fixed and retainer packages, with one highlighted.
• Reviews: client quotes in a slider.
• FAQ: questions and answers for new clients.
• Blog: your three latest posts.
• Contact band: a closing call to start a project.

Case studies for projects

• Each project is a normal post in the Work category.
• Sub-categories turn into the filters on the homepage.
• The cursor shows "View" when you hover a project card.
• The case study page opens with a facts row: stack, timeline and a live link.
• Below that come the headline result, a "what I built" section and a link to the next project.

Project estimator

Visitors pick a project type, some extras and a deadline. Akkhor replies with a price range, from 10% under to 20% over your base price, and a timeline. A "Send this to me" button opens the contact form with those choices already filled in. The client starts the conversation with a brief, and you start with facts.

Contact form and footer

• Chips for project type and budget.
• An email copy button and a booking link.
• The same form can go on any page with a shortcode.
• A live clock in the footer shows your local time.
• Footer links and legal links come from their own menus.

Mobile layout

The theme is mobile-first and fully responsive. Blocks stack in a clean order, and the homepage block controls adapt to small screens.

Reading and writing on the site

Akkhor also has a blog. The three latest posts show on the homepage. Writing about what you learn on a project is a simple way to show how you think. Most developer portfolio website templates stop at a project grid, so a blog next to the case studies gives clients one more reason to trust you.

Back-end options in the dashboard

Everything is controlled from an Akkhor menu in the WordPress dashboard. You do not need to touch code.

Theme Options

• The tab list starts with the homepage layout, then moves through design, each homepage block and your contact details.
• A search box finds any setting.
• A sticky save bar stays in view while you scroll.
• Reset to defaults, and export or import your settings.
• Terminal lines, stack chips, numbers, services, pricing, reviews and FAQ are all edited here.
• Estimator prices, with a base price for each project type, extra and deadline.

Design settings

• Five palettes, plus a colour picker for each colour.
• Six font pairs: JetBrains Mono with Inter, Space Grotesk with Inter, Bricolage Grotesque with Inter, Syne with DM Sans, Fraunces with Inter, and an all-sans Outfit option.

Projects

• Add a project as a post in the Work category.
• Fill client, year and result in the "Project details" box of each post.
• The newest project always appears first.

Enquiries

Every message from the contact form is kept under Akkhor, then Enquiries. You can read them in the dashboard even if an email goes missing.

Menus, Live Customizer and setup

• Akkhor, then Menus: a main menu, footer links and legal links.
• A Live Customizer in the same menu, for quick visual changes.
• Akkhor, then Setup: installs the bundled Themeve Commerce plugin in one click.
• Demo Import: builds the full sample site in one click.

The plugin appears in the dashboard as Site engine. There is no store to configure, so it stays out of your way.

How it helps you win work

A portfolio is a sales page for one person. Among personal portfolio website templates, Akkhor leans on the parts that bring paid work. Akkhor puts the steps a buyer follows in the right order.

1. The terminal and the stack chips show your tools within seconds.
2. The projects block proves you have shipped work.
3. Case studies give the stack, the time taken and the result.
4. Services and pricing tell the client what to expect to pay.
5. The estimator gives a range and a timeline, and sends the brief to you.
6. The contact form collects the project type and budget, so you can reply with a clear answer.

Freelancers can use the hourly, fixed and retainer packages to show three ways of working with you. An agency of one person can keep the retainer plan highlighted. A job seeker can switch pricing off and keep the case studies, the tech stack and the about block.

Set up in six steps

1. Upload and activate the Akkhor theme.
2. Open Akkhor, then Setup, and install the bundled plugin.
3. Run Demo Import to build the sample developer site.
4. Open Theme Options and write your terminal lines, services and prices.
5. Choose a palette and a font pair.
6. Delete the sample projects and add your own in the Work category.

None of these steps needs code, which sets these personal portfolio website templates apart from repositories you must build and deploy yourself. Akkhor needs WordPress 6.0 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. It is tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Why choose these personal portfolio website templates over a plain theme

A general blog theme gives you a page and a menu. You then spend days building a project grid, a pricing table and a form. Akkhor already has these parts, and they work together.

• Projects, filters and case studies are built in.
• The pricing and estimator blocks save you from writing quotes by email again and again.
• Enquiries are stored in the dashboard.
• Blocks can be moved or hidden without code.
• The look is made for developers, so you do not fight a template made for bakeries.

Among developer portfolio website templates, Akkhor also keeps every enquiry in your dashboard. If you design for a living and work more with pixels than code, Rupkar is the designer sister theme. If you are building a site for an engineering firm, try Bhitti instead.

What is included

• The Akkhor theme (PHP, CSS and JS files)
• The bundled Themeve Commerce plugin
• One-click demo content: 8 case studies, 6 blog posts, a tech stack, services, pricing, estimator prices, reviews, an FAQ, the contact form, menus and every page
• Documentation
• Six months of support

A dark site that feels like the tools you use every day is easy to remember. Akkhor gives a developer a clear and quick way to show the work, set a price and get the enquiry.
