Liam Hayes — Free Portfolio Template for Framer

Liam Hayes is a free 6-page portfolio template for Framer with no CMS. The sitemap is intentionally small: Home, Work, Work Details, About, Contact, and 404. Skip it if every new case study should publish from a collection without copying frames. JORGE covers CMS project pages and Archives.

Who should remix Liam Hayes?

Liam Hayes fits a solo creative who needs a credible site before the next pitch, not a studio selling retainers and hiring. Think product designers, brand freelancers, or photographers with a handful of flagship projects where Work Details can hold process notes and image stacks. The About and Contact routes stay lean so the work grid stays central.

Walk away if you ship new case studies every month from CMS fields or if you need Services, Pricing, and Careers beside the portfolio. Those routes are absent, and bolting them on fights the minimal nav. Dark editorial portfolios with CMS should start with JORGE instead of duplicating Work Details frames by hand.

What Liam Hayes looks like

The demo is quiet and typographic: generous whitespace, restrained color, and photography that fills the viewport without chrome competing for attention. It reads closer to a printed portfolio PDF translated to the web than to a neon Dribbble landing, which helps freelancers who want taste without agency theatrics.

Motion is light on scroll and hovers so project captions stay readable on a phone. The fight is personality: loud gradients, illustration-heavy brands, or playful mascots will need a full token swap. Budget time on type pairing and image crops before you send the link to a hiring manager.

Pages included in Liam Hayes

Six static routes, named exactly as Framer lists them:

• Home: short introduction and a direct path into Work
• Work: project index or grid showcasing selected pieces
• Work Details: long-form case layout for a single project
• About: bio, capabilities, and optional client list
• Contact: inquiry form or email-led hire path
• 404: branded dead end for broken campaign links

Work plus Work Details is the core loop. You get depth without jumping to blog or pricing pages.

What is distinctive about Liam Hayes

• Six-page minimal map. No blog, services tree, or pricing table in the marketplace list.
• Work Details as its own route. Case depth is not squeezed into modal overlays on the grid.
• Static workflow. Fast remix when you have four projects, tedious when volume grows.
• Creative category fit. Layout assumes visual work first, copy second.
• 404 included. Campaign traffic gets a designed dead end instead of a generic error.

Framer analytics, SEO helpers, and breakpoints are platform defaults, not reasons to choose Liam Hayes over JORGE.

When to remix Liam Hayes, and when to skip
