Published Focus - premium portfolio theme

 
Blue and orange - responsive

Latest addition to the Twitter Bootstrap marketplace Code Bootstrap. It's a responsive and minimalist professional portfolio theme, easy to customize and adapt to your needs. Focus is available in a blue version (default) and an orange version. It's easy to switch: just replace the link to focus.css with a link to focus-orange.css. I'll soon be working on the WordPress conversion of this theme.
