The Helion WordPress theme from axiomthemes is a $69 personal portfolio theme with a built-in online store. Moreover, it rates 4.86 across 1,073 sales, and the last update arrived on 22 May 2026.
A colourful portfolio that can also sell
Helion pairs a creative personal portfolio with a WooCommerce shop. That combination is rarer than it sounds. For example, an illustrator can show a series and sell prints on the same site.
The layouts also cover a blog, a CV and a business card page. As a result, one theme handles your work, your story and your sales.
Elementor editing and deep options
You edit pages in Elementor, including the header and footer layouts. In addition, Helion offers more than 750 customizer options, custom post types and its own shortcodes.
The blog is flexible too. It offers several feed styles, 20+ post animations, related posts and share buttons.
