My new Framer template is almost ready to launch.
Here’s a look at the infinite carousel I built with codex.
What do you think?
Infinite carousels live or die on the seam at the loop point, so that is the first thing I would stress-test, especially on a slow scroll or a paused hover. Since a template gets filled with other people's images, I would also check it stays smooth when the assets are heavier than your demo set. Looks clean so far.
A portfolio can be a composition, not a collection of cards.
OVERLAP brings two ways of exploring projects into the same visual system.
Instead of treating each project as an isolated block, the interactions create relationships between them — through layering, movement and depth.
The result feels less like browsing a grid and more like exploring a composition.
For Sienna Rhodes, I designed the homepage around one idea: the portfolio should come first.
Photography clients usually want to know one thing before they read about your process, your packages, or even who you are: Do I connect with your work?
So instead of opening with a traditional introduction, the homepage leads directly into the portfolio and lets the imagery make the first impression. The supporting copy and details come later, once the work has already created that initial connection.
I’m curious where other designers and photographers land on this. Do you prefer a portfolio-first homepage, or do you think the photographer’s story should come first?
Portfolio first, every time for photography. Nobody hires off a process paragraph, they hire because one image stopped them scrolling. The story matters, but it lands harder after the work has already made the case. That start here slider does the pitch by itself.
