Okai – Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme

Introduction

In our country, we are seeing so many talented people these days. Like a designer from Bengaluru getting clients from foreign countries, a wedding photographer from Jaipur getting booked many months before, or an artist from Kochi selling digital art to people in other countries.

As we all know, talent is very important. But honestly, these days talent alone is not enough. If people don’t see your work in the proper way, they may never contact you. And no, posting only few random photos on Instagram is not enough.

You need a proper portfolio website. Something that looks professional, shows your work in a clean way, and makes clients feel “Yes, this person is right for my project.”

That is where Okai – Creative Portfolio WordPress Theme comes in. It is made specially for creative people like designers, photographers, artists, agencies, freelancers, etc. In this post, I will share what I felt after trying Okai myself – the design, features, speed, price, and also how it compares with some other themes.

First Look – My Honest Feeling

When I first saw the Okai theme demo, I actually stopped for a second. It was clean, sharp, and simple. No unnecessary things.

First impression is very important in creative work. Many clients decide in just 5 seconds if they want to work with you or not. I feel Okai understands this. It keeps your pictures and work in the main focus, and other things stay in background.

I also checked it on mobile, and it looked very nice. Since in India most people use mobile for browsing, this is a big plus point. The menu is easy to click, pictures load without delay, and scrolling is smooth even on normal 4G connection.

Design and Style

If I have to describe Okai in only two words, I will say “simple elegance.” It does not throw too many colours or heavy effects. Your work gets full attention.

• Layouts – From simple grids to sliders, there are many options.
• Typography – Simple and clear fonts. You can change as you like.
• Colours – Default colours are black, white, and grey. But you can change to match your style.
• Animations – Smooth and not disturbing.

In India, many clients do not know much about design but they like clean and organised look. I feel Okai delivers that perfectly.

Speed and Performance in India

Many themes look great but they are slow. In our country, if a site takes too long to load on Jio or Airtel 4G, people just close it.

Okai is light and fast because:

• No extra heavy code.
• Images load only when needed.
• Works well with caching plugins like LiteSpeed.

When I tested on a normal Indian hosting, it scored more than 90 in Google PageSpeed for mobile. That is very good for a portfolio with large images.

Portfolio Display Options

Okai gives you many ways to show your work:

• Masonry Grid – Good for projects with different sizes.
• Full Screen – Best for photographers.
• Split Screen – Good for showing story with text + image.
• Sliders & Carousels – Dynamic and stylish.
• Project Pages – Detailed pages with descriptions, pictures, and videos.

For example, a wedding photographer from Punjab can use full screen style, while a UX designer from Pune can choose clean grid layout.

Blogging with Okai

Portfolio is good, but a blog can give extra value. Okai supports:

• Multiple blog layouts
• Featured images
• Categories and tags

For example, in India you can write posts like “Tips for Wedding Photography in Monsoon” or “How I Designed a Logo for a Startup in Bangalore” to attract more clients.

Selling Your Work (WooCommerce)

If you want to sell products or services, Okai works with WooCommerce:

• Sell digital downloads like templates or design packs
• Offer services with payment
• Sell physical prints or merchandise
• Accept Indian payments via Razorpay, PayU, etc.

Very useful for artists and photographers who want to earn directly from their website.

---

SEO and Marketing

Okai helps with SEO because:

• SEO friendly code
• Schema markup
• Social media links (Instagram, Behance, Dribbble)
• Fast speed

With proper keywords, you can rank for searches like “Best photographer in Delhi” or “Freelance designer in Chennai.”

---

Easy Customisation

With Elementor, you can change fonts, colours, layouts, add widgets like testimonials or Instagram feed, and make global changes without editing each page one by one.

---

Quick Setup

The one-click demo import makes things super easy. You can have a working site in less than one hour. Just replace demo images with your own, maybe add content in English + another language, and highlight your Indian projects.

---

Mobile Experience

Since most people in India are mobile-first users, Okai works well on phones:

• Touch-friendly menus
• Swipe galleries
• No lag while scrolling
• Clean single-column style

Pros and Cons

---

Price in India

On ThemeForest, Okai costs $59 (~₹4,900). You get lifetime updates and 6 months support (can extend to 12 months). For the quality and impression, I feel it is worth it.

---

Comparison with Other Themes

• Okai vs Oshine – Oshine has more demos, but Okai is lighter and faster.
• Okai vs Uncode – Uncode has more power, but is harder to learn.
• Okai vs Astra – Astra is faster, but you have to design more yourself.

---

Who Should Use Okai?

• Freelance designers and developers
• Photographers and videographers
• Creative agencies
• Students making their first portfolio

---

Final Verdict

Okai is simple but stylish. It keeps your work in front without unnecessary effects. For Indian creatives who want a professional site without spending weeks coding, I think it’s a great choice.

If your work is mostly writing, then maybe go for a blog-focused theme. But for photography, design, or art, Okai is one of the best options.
