Sundial
A portfolio that keeps the hours
Free
An editorial portfolio for creative directors, designers, and studios to present projects through an interactive horizontal reel, case studies, and an archive. Its light-responsive palette, local clock, and sundial navigation give the site a distinctive, time-inspired visual style.
About this template
Sundial is a quiet, editorial portfolio for creative directors, designers and studios - a site that keeps the hours.
The paper of the site follows the light of your city: rose at dawn, warm paper at midday, cream at golden hour, lilac at dusk. Visitors can drag the sundial in the navigation to travel through the day. The palette always stays light and legible.
The home page is an endless horizontal reel of your work. It opens with a hand-drawn signature and a shuffling stack of covers that spreads into the reel. It moves with the wheel, drag, swipe or arrow keys, and the cards ease back as it gains speed.
Highlights
• Endless CMS-driven reel with an opening animation
• Live local clock with a sundial you can drag through the day
• Hand-drawn signature that draws itself, in the nav and the footer
• Page-card menu and a full-screen contact sheet with Client / Talent forms
• Case studies with an editorial gallery and calm parallax
• Index page with hover previews and an archive strip with a lightbox
• Sticky About page with a six-step process that lights up as you scroll
• Rolling link hovers, custom cursors and smooth scrolling
• Fully responsive: desktop, tablet and phone
Pages
Home, Index, Archive, About, Case Study (CMS) and 404.
Built to edit
Projects and Archive live in the CMS. Each project's Format (Portrait or Landscape) sets its card shape in the reel. Type styles and color tokens are set up for the whole site. A Read me page on the canvas explains every part.
Typography: Hanken Grotesk, Newsreader Italic and Geist Mono.
