Accession

About this template

A free museum website template for small museums, galleries, heritage sites and volunteer-run historical societies. Every object in your collection is shown the way a catalogue shows it: photographed on a coloured sweep, with a plate number and a museum label. Remix it for free and publish it on your own domain with Framer's Basic plan.

Why small museums and galleries choose Accession

A numbered 'Find your way' wayfinding strip routes visitors to Visit, What's on, Collection, Research, Venue hire and Support.

Open today? How much? Where? Hours, admission, address and access live in one Visiting component that feeds the header pill, the home page ticket and the footer; the Visit and Access pages add the full detail.

Collections in the CMS: object number, date, maker, material, dimensions, credit and where to see it, each on its own plate. A Plate Colour field keeps your own photos on a curated colour.

Exhibitions and events in the CMS: exhibitions, talks, walks and workshops with dates, prices and booking links, plus an exhibition-on-now feature.

An honest access guide, a visit page with hours and prices, and downloadable sample PDFs (large-print guide, sensory map, annual report).

Getting involved: membership tiers, volunteering, donations, offering an object, venue hire and schools, with 7 ready forms.

Built for volunteers to keep up to date

Donate and Join buttons open a built-in demo page until you connect your own platforms; the Go-live guide shows how.

20 pages, 2 CMS collections (Programme, Objects), each with a detail page.

Designed for desktop, tablet and phone. Appear and hover effects, a slowly drifting hero plate with parallax and a Pause motion button, and reduced-motion support.

Rokkitt and Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, from the Framer font library.

A step-by-step Go-live guide (remix → customise → your own domain).
