A complete personal-portfolio WordPress theme: filterable project grid, single-project galleries with a lightbox, testimonials, a working contact form, and realistic demo content pre-installed. No page-builder bloat, no build step, no external JS dependencies beyond WordPress core.
Key Features
Everything you need for a clean, fast WordPress site.
Filterable portfolio
A custom Portfolio content type with categories, a filterable grid, and single-project image galleries with a lightbox.
Working contact form
No plugin required — a built-in contact form with spam protection, ready to use out of the box.
Demo content included
Sample projects, testimonials, and pages are seeded automatically, so the site looks finished the moment you activate it.
Zero build step
Plain PHP templates and hand-written CSS — install and go, no compiling required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this theme really free?
add
Yes — Bushe Lite is fully free and licensed under the GPL-2.0-or-later, the same license WordPress itself uses.
Does it come with sample content?
add
Yes — activating the theme automatically seeds sample portfolio projects, testimonials, and pages, so you can see the full design immediately and replace it with your own content.
Does it work with page builders?
add
Bushe Lite doesn't ship page-builder-specific styling, but standard WordPress blocks and most page builders will work fine on top of it.
How do I install it?
add
Download the zip, then in your WordPress admin go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme, and activate it.
Free forever. No catch.
Download Bushe Lite and use it on as many sites as you like.
