Why portfolios resist migration
Portfolio layouts lean on custom grids, generous typography and motion — precisely the things that get flattened by template-based rebuilds. With Dorik the risk is higher, because block-based pages have no clean export.
Keeping the design intact
The capture preserves block sections and their spacing scale along with every image, font and interaction, so the case-study pages look exactly as they did.
- Custom grid and masonry layouts
- Full-bleed imagery and video
- Typography scale and letterspacing
- Cursor and hover treatments
- Case-study page transitions
From capture to live site
Convert each key page — home, work index, one or two case studies — and assemble them as theme templates.
- Open the page you want to convert in Chrome.
- Click the Themify extension icon in the toolbar.
- Press Generate theme and wait for the capture to finish.
- In wp-admin, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
- Upload the .zip, activate it, and the page is live on WordPress.
Owning the domain
On WordPress the portfolio sits on your host, your domain and your backups. There is no platform that can restyle your work or change its pricing underneath you.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I keep my Dorik portfolio design on WordPress?
- Yes — the conversion is a faithful snapshot of the rendered page, so the design comes with it.
- How do I handle multiple case studies?
- Convert the key pages and wire them up as templates, or keep the highest-value pages as static templates and manage the rest in WordPress.
- Will images stay sharp?
- Images are bundled at the resolution the page served, including responsive sources where they exist.
