Creating a Custom Portfolio Page

Hi im trying to convert a bootstrap based site into WordPress. I’m using the 320 Press framework and would like to develop a portfolio page using this layout - http://ironsummitmedia.github.io/startbootstrap-1-col-portfolio/#
Each action button goes to a linked post.

Would this be better served by using a plug-in such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/freefolio/ and changing the CSS?

Okay I’ve found a solution via Jetpacks new custom post types plugin - http://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/#activating-the portfolio-content-type

Okay the solution was to simply learn more about wordpress custom post types
This allows the option of making WordPress into a full Content Management System (CMS) rather than a blog.

If anyone is looking to add posts in say a portfolio page like mine I’d suggest a plug-in like JetPack which has 4 defined custom post types.

You could also look using Pods which is a framework allowing you to develop your own taxonomies from scratch to completely control the CMS backend.

Hope this helps everyone.
