FORME by Tungsten — Free Portfolio Template for Framer

FORME by Tungsten is a free 5-page editorial portfolio template for Framer, built around an independent designer’s name, six chosen projects, and a short services list. There is no CMS. Skip it if you need case study pages per project. JORGE does that with a Works collection. Want a single scroll instead? Ferio is leaner. For more options, the portfolio shortlist and the free Framer templates hub are one click away.

Who should remix FORME by Tungsten?

Imagine a designer with twelve years behind her who now takes on a handful of identity, book, and website jobs each year. She does not want a feed of thumbnails. She wants a name set large, a sentence about who she works for, and six projects that look chosen. FORME by Tungsten is written for exactly that voice, down to the “taking on select projects” availability line.

Walk away if you are a studio with several people, retainers, or a pipeline of case studies to publish. Five static pages will feel cramped within a month. JORGE gives you CMS project pages, and Formix Co suits a studio that has to sell services at depth.

What FORME by Tungsten looks like

Warm off-white paper, near-black text, and a high-contrast serif for the display type, with the designer’s surname set in italic. Small uppercase labels carry the metadata (discipline, year, location), and thin rules do the dividing. It sits nearer to an independent press or an Are.na board than to a startup site, and the demo content leans into that with Brand, Print, Web, and Motion tags on each project.

For clients who hire on taste, this restraint is the pitch. Large type and empty space say you edit yourself. The fight is that nothing here is loud. A motion designer, illustrator, or photographer with saturated work will find the cream-and-serif frame competing with the pieces, and will want to rebuild the grid.

Pages included in FORME by Tungsten

Five pages, named as Framer lists them:

• Home: name, one-line positioning, a “Six projects, chosen slowly” grid, a short bio, a services block, and an availability banner
• 404: a branded dead end
• Work: the full project index behind the Home selection
• About: longer biography and practice story
• Contact: the inquiry route, with the email address leading

None of the pages is CMS-backed. Adding a project means duplicating a frame by hand.

What is distinctive about FORME by Tungsten

• Six projects, chosen slowly. The grid caps the work and tags each piece by discipline and year, which signals curation instead of volume.
• Italic surname. One typographic gesture gives the hero a personality without any imagery.
• Services written as four plain offers. Brand identity, editorial and print, websites in Framer, and art direction each get a short paragraph. It suits a solo practice and does not stretch to a full price list.
• Availability banner. A line announcing when new projects start gives the closing section a real call to action.
• Social row for makers. Instagram, Are.na, LinkedIn, and Read.cv sit in the footer, which tells you who the template expects to be reading.

Framer’s own SEO, analytics, and breakpoint tooling come with the platform. They are not why you would pick this file.

When to remix FORME by Tungsten, and when to skip

Remix FORME by Tungsten when you already know which six projects you would show and you want the site to stay out of their way. The marketplace lists the author as Unknown, so judge it by the live preview. Open it on a phone and check how the serif behaves at small sizes before you replace the copy.

Skip it when each project needs its own case study layout. That is JORGE. Skip it when one scroll covers everything. That is Ferio. If you are still comparing options, head back to the portfolio shortlist or the free Framer templates hub.
