Off Record — Free Portfolio Template for Framer

Off Record is a free 6-page portfolio template for Framer with Home, Contact, Blog, Episodes, About, and a 404. No CMS labels appear in the marketplace page list, so episode and article layouts stay static frames you duplicate or link out manually. Remix it when your personal brand mixes client work with a show or newsletter and you want both indexed on the site. Skip it if you need collection-backed episode detail pages and SaaS-style Pricing. Podlux is the fuller podcast marketing map. See the portfolio shortlist or explore free Framer templates.

Who should remix Off Record?

Off Record fits operators who are already public: a fractional CMO with a podcast, a strategist who publishes essays, or a small studio that wants case snippets on Home and a dedicated Episodes index without learning CMS on launch weekend. The Business category tag matches buyers who care about credibility decks, not only gallery walls.

Skip it if your product is the podcast platform itself and you need Pricing, Host, and episode detail templates wired for scale. That job belongs to Podlux. Skip it if you are a visual creative who only needs CMS case studies and no audio shelf. JORGE is the better dark portfolio for that workflow.

What Off Record looks like

The layout reads editorial and restrained: strong type on Home, room for headshots and pull quotes, and index pages that feel like a magazine sidebar rather than a dense SaaS grid. Neutrals and one accent color keep podcast art and client logos from fighting each other. It sits closer to a Substack-adjacent personal brand site than to a Dribbble-style grid.

Motion stays subtle so audio guests and enterprise readers are not distracted. The trade-off is showiness. Loud gradient personal brands or illustration-heavy creatives may find the default mood too sober until they swap photography and color tokens.

Pages included in Off Record

Six pages, named as Framer lists them:

• Home: blended introduction to your work, latest episodes or posts, and primary contact CTA
• Contact: form or mail path for speaking, consulting, or collaboration inquiries
• Blog: article index for essays, release notes, or newsletter archives
• Episodes: show index linking to individual episode layouts or external players
• About: story, credentials, and media bio copy for press kits
• 404: branded recovery when shared links rot after a rebrand

Episodes plus Blog is the hybrid hook. Most free portfolios give you one or the other, not both with About and Contact still on the map.

What is distinctive about Off Record

• Episodes route on a portfolio file. Useful when the show is part of the offer, not a footer link.
• Blog index without CMS in the listing. Fast to ship if posts are few and you hand-build detail frames.
• Business-oriented About and Contact pairing. Fits consultants and hosts more than pure visual portfolios.
• Six static pages, no collection setup. Lower Framer learning curve for a personal brand launch.
• 404 included. Podcast show notes and LinkedIn links break; a styled dead end helps.

Platform SEO and analytics features are Framer defaults, not Off Record differentiators.

When to remix Off Record, and when to skip

Remix Off Record when you want a free portfolio that acknowledges audio and writing as first-class routes and you are fine maintaining static episode frames or linking to Spotify until you add CMS later.

Skip it when you need podcast SaaS pages with Pricing and structured episode collections out of the box. Choose Podlux. Skip it when case studies must publish from CMS on day one and skip the show shelf. Compare picks on the portfolio shortlist or return to free Framer templates.
