Build a Portfolio Website.
No Subscription.

Buy Lay Theme once and run it
on your own WordPress website.

A one-time theme license

Lay Theme is sold as a one-time license instead of a recurring website-builder subscription. You still need webhosting for the WordPress installation, and you can choose the host yourself.

Your website stays independent

The website, its database and its media live on your own webspace. You can move the installation to another webhost, create backups and keep the site online without staying inside a hosted website-builder platform.

Much cheaper in the long run

A portfolio often stays online for many years. Over five years, Lay Theme including independent webhosting can cost around 85% less than common subscription-based website builders.

5-Year Total

Webhosting: Netcup at €2.26/month — one of the few webhosts without hidden price increases after the first year.

WordPress remains open

Install WordPress plugins, add custom CSS or JavaScript, edit the code and export your content. Lay Theme gives you a visual design workflow without taking away the flexibility of WordPress.
