Introducing Motive — my 6th Framer template.
Built for creative agencies that are serious about how they show up online. Bold layouts, sharp typography, and a hero that stops the scroll cold.

Great work, Ken
Every brand has a surface hierarchy and most companies invest in the wrong one first.
Here's what I mean:
Your brand lives on surfaces such as awebsite, pitch deck, social profiles, sales collateral, product UI, email templates.
Every one of these is a moment where someone decides whether to trust you or move on, but they're not equal and there's an order of operations.
Your website is Surface #1. It's where 80% of your prospects form their first real impression, before the demo, before the deck and before anyone on your team gets to explain anything.
If your site doesn't close the credibility gap, nothing downstream can fix it.
Surface #2 is your pitch deck and It inherits the expectations the website set. If the site looked like a Series A startup, the deck is fighting uphill no matter how good the content is.
Surface #3 is everything else like social, collateral, email signatures, conference booths. These reinforce. They don't establish.
The mistake I see constantly: companies spend $50K on a brand identity system, deliver a beautiful guidelines PDF, and then launch with the same outdated website they had before.
The brand exists in a document and it doesn't exist in the world.
A brand system isn't done when the guidelines are done. It's done when your #1 surface reflects the full system.
Everything else follows from there.
Hi daniel, i'm taking seriously posting here, any advise, just starting. I have 1700 on X so i want to replicate
I always get questions about what makes a good portfolio and/or Contra profile. These are my personal top tips!
The most important thing, though, is to get lots of feedback. So, I'd love to invite everyone to drop their profile links in the comments and open this thread up as a community feedback space. Share your work and your thoughts/advice for others!!
I recently redid my entire profile (and all of my case studies) using this Contra profile template and am feeling much happier with how it's looking. I'd love to hear your thoughts on mine, too!
profile looking awesome! I love how aesthetic and neat yours is. As a performance marketer, my goal is to combine creative work with real business results/impact - open to thoughts. I know, my main profile hero image needs an update lol https://contra.com/george_poradek_3y2a13s6
