Candela Lite Framer Template

About this template

Candela Lite is a free one page portfolio for independent designers, art directors and small studios who want their work to feel calm and well made. It is the night side of Candela: warm ink on dark card, with a paper texture over everything.

What is on the page:

A title that fills the width and comes into focus letter by letter, then stays behind as a soft trace as you scroll

A statement that lights up word by word as you read, with links to your services

Selected work: small project cards drifting past at different speeds while the title comes into focus

Services: four services next to a sticky intro

Process in four steps

Questions that open one at a time

A big "Start a project" with your email

A footer with your links and the big title once more

Also included:

Desktop, Tablet and Phone layouts, checked down to 320 px

A full screen curtain menu and your local time in the header

A header that hides while you read and returns with frosted glass

A paper texture that drifts slower than the page, and smooth scrolling

A 404 page: "This page went quiet."

Every effect is a Framer component with its own controls. No code.

Visitors who turn on "reduce motion" see the site without animation.

Fonts: Boska and General Sans (Fontshare), Geist Mono (Google), all free. Photos from Pexels and Unsplash.
