WordPress Plugin for Displaying Your Portfolio On Your Site?

I was wondering if anyone here had a suggestion for a good WP plugin for a Copywriting site to display clients. Not a portfolio of work, but actual client logos (clients I've served).

That being said, I want to be able to display two or more images for some of them to display things like very successful crowdfunding campaigns or the like... not sure how the design should be.

Any suggestions?

Would love some advice.

    I have a Behance portfolio for my corporate work. My web guy found a plugin that takes Behance stuff and grids it out on your web page in black and white. It shifts to full color when you hover the mouse over an image. Hell if I know what it's called.

    If that's something along the lines of what you're talking about, I'll ask him what he did.

    I build my sites with Themify. Here's one I did for a friend (don't judge the bad image selection or copy, which he has apparently changed since he paid me for it. Yecch.)

    The site owner has kind of ruined the site's messaging, but I think you'll get the point.

    Themify has a nice drag and drop website builder that saves a ton of time and requires no coding – just a little bit of time experimenting (that all plugins or platforms require). Their "club" is actually a great value and gives you lots of options for how you want your site to look – perfect for a busy copywriter who'd rather write than fiddle with websites.

      Thanks. I'll take a look at Behance, see what's what.

      I actually should've spcified that I'm looking for a full page, rather than just having it be a part of a page... I'm not that into the slider setup, though I see how it could work for me. Anyways, I'm sure Themify has some other great ways to handle it to, so I'll check em out. Thanks!

    How and what exactly are you wanting to display?

    Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

    The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

      Hey pewpew, I'm thinking logos of companies I've worked with, and for some of them, their embedded Kickstarter information for successful campaigns they've run... just not sure how to lay it out.

    That's really a Pandora's Box... design can go so many ways depending on what angle, how complicated, etc. Personally, I don't think most people will look at a simple logo and think "Oh sh*t, wow, gotta hire this guy." If it were me (and doing what I think you're suggesting at) I would rather have a brief blurb that links over to a more detailed story of how the client benefited from my service.

    I've not ever used it, but this plugin was the first that came to mind. There is an example of it here. Hopefully it allows you to remove the price and edit "featured products."

    I figured out what I want to do now. I want to have the logos, and then have successful crowdfund campaign information pop up next to and around the logo (in a small "lightbox" type thing) when someone hovers over said logo. Is it possible? Anyone know how?
