About this template
Barebones Portfolio is a free Framer portfolio template for independent designers, freelancers and small studios. The project index is the interface: hover a project and its image floats beside the cursor, cropped to that project's own ratio, and filtering lifts the matching projects to the top while the rest fold away.
Use it as a graphic designer portfolio, a brand and product designer website, a freelance design portfolio or a minimal personal site. It is clean, fast and work-first.
What's inside
A large name hero and a filterable, sortable project index with a floating preview, and a docked preview on phones
A featured project, four disciplines with project strips, an about section with a re-cropping portrait, notes and a large email sign-off
Work index and project detail pages from the CMS, plus about, notes (CMS blog), contact with a working form, legal and 404
Fully responsive tablet and phone layouts on every page, with favicon and social image
Good for: brand designers, product designers, art directors, illustrators, design freelancers and anyone who wants a minimal designer portfolio website template in Framer.
