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.
