Half the work is the design. The other half is bringing it to life.
Splitfolio is a free Framer portfolio template for designers who also build. As you scroll, one half of each section rises while the other falls, meeting in the middle.
I built the split as a code component, so the halves stay ordinary frames on the canvas. Ten controls set the axis, the split per section, snapping, smoothing, gap, and direction. Phones split top and bottom.
Inside:
- 6 pages, 1 Projects CMS with 6 case studies, 15 components, 7 code components, 2 Framer AI skills, and an 18-section setup guide.
Exploring two different hero directions for a new project.
Same message, two completely different visual approaches.
Which one makes a stronger first impression?
Both are strong. I lean towards the dark version, because the orange accent on the italic "guess." pops and the profile portrait gives it a more editorial, confident feel. The navy one reads a bit more corporate, which could suit a more conservative audience. Nice exploration!
