Carme — Free Portfolio Template for Framer

Carme is a free six-page portfolio template for Framer with Home, About, Work, Stories, Contact, and 404 on a static sitemap. No CMS collections appear in the marketplace list. Skip it if case studies should live in CMS entries with detail templates. JORGE delivers CMS Works and Work Page flows in a dark editorial layout. More free Framer templates are on the hub, or start with the portfolio shortlist.

Who should remix Carme?

Carme fits illustrators, photographers, and hybrid designers who want separate Work and Stories routes but are fine updating projects manually at first. The Stories page gives you a home for process write-ups, client diaries, or side projects without forcing a full blog CMS. Freelancers pitching creative directors will like that Work stays a gallery while About handles bio and credibility.

Pass if every project needs its own CMS detail page with repeatable fields and you expect dozens of entries. JORGE is the yoframer answer for CMS case studies plus Services collections. Pass also if you run an agency selling retainers and pricing. Formix Co and other agency files carry business pages this portfolio deliberately omits.

What Carme looks like

The live demo skews light and gallery-forward: airy backgrounds, strong type for names and roles, and Work layouts that foreground imagery over long case study copy. Stories uses editorial spacing similar to a medium-length article index, which keeps process content from feeling bolted onto Work. Contact stays minimal so the portfolio stays the hero.

Motion is gallery-appropriate: image hovers and gentle section entrances, not experimental scroll scenes. The default mood is approachable creative, not dark luxury. Brands that want Arc or Linear darkness will retheme, but the six-page nav order still makes sense for a personal portfolio.

Pages included in Carme

Six pages, named as Framer lists them:

• Home: introduction, featured work, and navigation into Work or Stories
• About: bio, skills, clients, and personal story for hiring managers
• Work: project grid or list showcasing finished pieces
• 404: branded dead end for broken portfolio links
• Stories: longer-form posts, process notes, or side projects in a reading layout
• Contact: inquiry form or email path for commissions and collabs

All routes are static in the listing. Duplicate Work frames or add CMS later if manual updates become a bottleneck.

What is distinctive about Carme

• Stories as a first-class route. Many free portfolios stop at Work and About; here narrative content gets its own page.
• Six pages without CMS friction. Launch with exported case studies before you learn collections.
• Work plus Stories split. Finished pieces stay scannable; process writing has room to breathe.
• 404 on a small creative map. Saves awkward defaults when you share WIP links.
• Contact isolated from About. Commissions do not compete with biography on the same scroll.

Framer analytics and SEO settings ship with the platform. They are not Carme-specific reasons to remix.

When to remix Carme, and when to skip

Remix Carme when you want a readable creative portfolio with a Stories lane and you are OK pasting projects by hand for now. Unknown authorship on the listing does not change the static route list.

Skip it when CMS case studies are non-negotiable. Use JORGE. Skip it when you need agency pricing and careers. Compare picks on the portfolio shortlist or return to free Framer templates on the hub.
