Taste Test
I recently experimented with two different ways of building portfolio websites:
Option 1 — Framer Template
Built using a free Framer template with some quick customization, project integration, and content updates.
Option 2 — Claude Generated
Built almost entirely using Claude with no more than 3 prompts.
What I find interesting is how fast both workflows were in completely different ways:
Framer → super quick visual implementation
Claude → rapid custom structure and generation
Both → insanely fast turnaround for launching polished work
Which approach do you personally prefer for fast client work or portfolio creation:
starting from templates?
or generating from AI prompts?
and which one you guys like more, and why?

Minimal, thoughtful, and polished — the hardest combo to get right.
Framer Template base all the way

👉🏻 Case study
Congratulations 🍾🎈.
My Framer component is finally available!
It took two weeks of reviews and fine-tuning to ensure peak performance. This Hybrid Carousel (Images and Video) featuring Zoom and Autoplay functions was a significant technical challenge, bridging the gap between strategic design and technology.
Developed with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence, the final build is seamless and optimized for high-end web projects. You can check out the final result at the link below.
What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
